Pai Kan
(Th Mae Nam Khwae; dishes 30-50B; 4-10pm)
Scribble down your order on scraps of paper, then

and authentic; Western dishes are reasonable.
Jukkru

To truly eat like the locals, try this simple but efficiently run
restaurant that has a range of Thai dishes. The collection of Burmese artefacts and shrine
to the rear is fascinating.
