In-Depth Information
There are many restaurants in the Tha Sadet Market, and elsewhere along the promenade,
that serve big river views.
Dee Dee Pohchanah
(Th Prajak; dishes 45-250B; 10.30am-2am)
How good is Dee Dee? Just look at the dinnertime
crowds - but don't be put off by them. Despite having a full house every night, this simple
place is a well-oiled machine and you won't be waiting long.

Mae Ut
(Th Meechai; dishes 30-50B; 10am-6pm)
While Daeng Namnuang operates as much like a fact-
ory as a restaurant, this little place, serving just four items including spring rolls and
khâo
gee·ab Ъahk mŏr
(fresh noodles with pork), is essentially grandma's kitchen. Look for the
orange building with tables under a bright blue awning. English is limited.

(Th Rimkhong; dishes 60-130B; 8am-8pm; )
This massive river restaurant has grown into an
Isan institution, and hordes of out-of-towners head home with car boots and carry-on bags
(there's an outlet at Udon Thani's airport) stuffed with
năam neu·ang
(pork spring rolls).
Khoa Soi Chiang Mai
(949 Th Meechai; 35-50B; 8am-3pm)
If you're missing the flavours of northern Thailand, this
hole-in-the-wall will satisfy your cravings.
