I was exploring around the back blocks of Mae Rim and stumbled across Sala Cafe which I have heard about. Its a really neat coffee shop/bakery with good Thai tucker at sensible prices. Quite a little gem actually:thumbup:.

Absolute peace and quite with good views and friendly staff but not so easy to find as its up an unmade road but there are signs.

My favourite place for eating in Mae Rim is See Paak Restaurant

293382=17052-img_6080.jpg


293382=17055-img_6082.jpg

Bright 'n breezy - loads of fresh air that bikers like.

& one of the weekend specials

293382=17051-GTRr-Seepak-PorkCranberry.jpg

as tasty as anything I've ever eaten - incredible mouth watering flavours: "Pork Loin Roll with Black Olives & Avocado Fill with Cranberries & Ginger Sauce - on the side are roasted potatoes and baby peas with almonds."
Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Another recommended spot in Mae Rim is the X-Centre.

"Home of The Ambassador, Ian Bungy."

My regular healthy X-Centre breakfast

293402=17076-IMG_7938.jpg


Indoor air con,

293402=17075-IMG_7935.jpg

where many guys come to watch MotoGP & F1

Or outside in the fresh air

293402=17077-IMG_7937.jpg


The X-Centre is popular with many a rider & a compulsory stop on the Samoeng Loop - either starting or finishing.

Good food. Superb thin crusty pizzas, but all gone before a photo. Sorry. 55

IMG_3115.jpg


so a kanom pic for lung.

The menu

IMG_3118.jpg


loads of Thai food too.

First class service & excellent English

IMG_3120.jpg


most of the gals have been to school in Oz & know how to speak good English with confidence.
Check the place out sometime. Well worth a visit just for the polite English language service even: & then there's the excellent food too.

Located on R107, the east side, between the Siam Commercial Bank & Lotus Express, almost adjoining Lotus Express.
