In-Depth Information
(Th Charoen Prathet; dishes 40-80B; lunch & dinner)
Tempting aromas waft down
the street from this affable restaurant. Dishes are thoughtfully prepared and include
lots of seafood and chicken options. We enjoyed the seafood fried-rice with basil.
ANUSAN NIGHT MARKET $$
Food Market
( Anusan Night Bazaar, Th Chang Khlan; dishes 100-350B; dinner)
Anusan is a
buzzing food market best known for its Thai-Chinese seafood restaurants. Try
Lena
Restaurant
here, where a kilo of succulent grilled prawns will set you back 300B.
Or have a stab at the fish in Thai spices and basil leaves.
RATANA'S KITCHEN $
International Thai
( 320-322 Th Tha Phae; dishes 30-150B; 7.30am-11.30pm)
For all the talk of Chi-
ang Mai having cool temperatures, it still gets hot by midday. Jump out of the oven
and into Ratana's kitchen. It isn't a culinary legend but the dishes and prices are
sensible and it's got a prime spot near Pratu Tha Phae for wilting tourists.
Riverside
Past Saphan Nakhon Ping, is Th Faham, known as Chiang Mai's
kôw soy
ghetto.
Situated here are
Khao Soi Lam Duan
(Th Faham; dishes 40-60B)
, which also
serves
kà·nŏm rang pêung
(literally beehive pastry - a coconut-flavoured waffle),
Khao Soi Samoe Jai
(Th Faham; dishes 30-65B)
and
Khao Soi Ban Faham
(Th Fa-
ham; dishes 35-55B)
.
Kôw soy
foodies sometimes spend the day sampling a bowl
at each place to decide their favourite.
CHEDI $$$
( 0 5325 3333; 123 Th Charoen Prathet; mains 500-1000B; dinner)
Fine Indian
cuisine is available (the jinga masala is recommended by readers) as well as one of
Chiang Mai's few quality wine lists. Shockingly expensive but swamped with first-
class service, enjoy gorgeous white-linen dining on the riverbank with floating
candles twinkling on the water.
