another plug for the first class food at the Siam Corner.
I'm also very sad to say that the male - husband owner of Siam Corner, recently died in hospital after a lengthy illness.
His wife the cook still runs the place, but she says that maybe she will put the business up for sale, as it is no longer fun without her husband there.
We have to wait & see, but if you are ever in the Ched Yot bar strip vicinity, then make sure you try out the Thai food at Siam Corner. It is tops & all the bar girls there will tell you - YES Siam Corner has the best Thai food in that area.

Yod Doi Coffee & Restauarnt

IMG_3903.jpg


a fresh open air coffee shop 20 metres from the clock tower.

IMG_3906B.jpg


Damn good coffee
IMG_3907.jpg


IMG_3908.jpg


including Hazlenut Latte, one of my favourites

They also have a nice selection of teas

IMG_3909.jpg


Plus it is a good place for brekky - fruit museli with yoghurt & avocado

IMG_8942.jpg


Plus salads + tasty sandwiches + croissants

IMG_8944.jpg


Check it out. Highly recommended. They are also open late at night for a late night cuppa.

Note too there is more than one Yod Doi Cofee by the clock tower, one is aircon & only has mediocre service & atmosphere.  THE one to go is the charming non air con Yod Doi coffee on the S-W side of the clock tower .

Agreed on this one. Great coffee & nice omelettes.
For Yod Doi fans they have opened a new location, diagnonally across from the Nangnon, so you've got two top choices close by.

Nam Ngiew PaNuan. N 19 deg 54.189'. E 99 deg 50.025'.

Vietnamese and northern Thai restaurant. Tucked away on a small soi, right in the middle of the city on San Pa Nat Soi 2. This is just south of the Central Bus Station on Prasop Suk Road.

The owner is a biker, an artist and a collector. There is "stuff" everywhere in an old rebuilt house. It seems popular with those who know the city well.

I had some Vietnamese style delicious chicken and prawn pancakes with the usual basket of fresh greens.

Doi Chaang @ Art
Rattanakhet Rd, Chiang Rai.
Tel: 053-752918 / 086-7300799

This brilliant Doi Chaang Coffee @ Art closed awhile ago & there doesn't seem to be an equivalent replacement.

Is not cheap total bill 1500 Thai baht for 4 people drinking water with lemon.
What i can say is a romantic place not for the wife,is much better bring her to the street food in the market and try to enjoi place like this with the mia noi lover o secret love.
I am joking :)

Is not a restaurant for every day but just some special event.
