Local food is not to be missed when visiting Chiang Rai. For a person who loves noodles, "Nam Ngiaw Pa Suk" is the best place to go. Pa Suk has been serving tasty Nam Ngiaw, a northern Thai spicy noodle soup with pork or beef, for over 50 years. But if you prefer more varieties of local food, we recommend you to try Sai Aua (Northern Thai Spicy Sausage), Larb Kua Moo (Spicy Minced Pork Salad), different kinds of Nam Prik (Spicy Thai Chili Dipping Sauces), Naem Moak (Grilled Sour Pork Sausage in Banana Leaves), and Kaeng Ho (Northern Thai Mixed Curry) at "Salung Kham". Another dish worth trying in this restaurant is Kaeng Hang Le (Northern Thai Pork Curry), a tasty well-known dish. For whoever likes Kaeng Khae, another Northern Thai curry dish with vegetables as its main ingredient, you can have it at “Phu Lae Restaurant". Dishes, such as Fried Fish with Fish Sauce and Dried Mushroom Soup are also served at “Phu Lae”. Another fine restaurant is "Tok Tong" which offers a traditional “Khantoke” dinner with various kinds of authentic Northern Thai dishes as well as the cultural dance show.
