The Best Chiang Rai Restaurants

Jan 10, 2012

Chiang Rai is not nearly as big as Bangkok, but there is a lot to do, and even more to eat, in this tiny city. Before heading to the bars and clubs, stop off at one of the many Chiang Mai restaurants for a delicious Thai meal.

Dining in Chiang Rai

With a lot of eateries along the river, you’ll more than likely be looking out over beautiful calm waters while dining in Chiang Rai. With great northern Thai cuisine and a mix of international foods as well, your meals in Chiang Rai will be fantastic culinary experiences.

When looking for dining in Chiang Rai, start at Phu Lae where you can find a wide array of Thai foods and even find some hidden international gems like herb-infused New Zealand mussels. Chiang Rai Restaurants are always good, but you can also find some delicious street foods worth trying. Just remember, when you get the urge to ask what’s in it, try and stop yourself.

Get your utensil of choice ready for some heavy use because no matter what your culinary preferences are, when you’re dining in Chiang Rai you’re sure not to go hungry.
