The Moat House

What The Moat House does

The Moat House is a private hospitality venue operating a single dual-concept bar in Chiang Mai, Thailand, founded in 2022. The business combines a ground floor sports pub — broadcasting Premier League and other major sporting events — with an open-air rooftop terrace bar offering cocktails, sunset views of Doi Suthep National Park and Doi Suthep temple, and acoustic music performances on weekend evenings. The venue serves food and beverages across two daily menu windows (8am-2:30pm daytime and 2:30pm-10pm evening), featuring Western and Thai cuisine, draft beers, a wine selection, and signature cocktails. The single location is at 3/33 Mun Mueang Rd, within walking distance of Tha Phae Gate and the Sunday walking street market, with a vantage point overlooking the historical Tha Phae Gate city wall and moat.

The revenue model is direct-to-consumer walk-in food and beverage sales supplemented by a curated weekly events program — language exchange meetups (Tuesday), stand-up comedy (Thursday), acoustic rooftop sessions (Friday), and weekend sports viewing — designed to drive repeat foot traffic and beverage consumption. Target customers span Chiang Mai locals, tourists, and the expat community seeking evening entertainment, sports viewing, and scenic rooftop experiences; the venue also runs a reservation system for high-demand festival viewing (Yi Peng, Songkran) positioned as a recurring sell-out. Marketing is conducted exclusively through organic channels: Instagram (@themoathousecm), Facebook (MoatHouseCM), and the venue's website. There is no proprietary technology, no digital ordering or delivery infrastructure, no third-party platform integrations, and no disclosed payment or loyalty system. The company is privately held, headquartered in Thailand, with 11-50 employees and no publicly disclosed revenue, funding, or ownership structure.
