The best restaurants Chiang Rai

Don't miss the Night Market and its food stalls, where you can eat well at low prices. One of the city's liveliest spots in the evening: a large square covered with chairs and tables where local artists come to perform. Stalls all around offer a multitude of different dishes, fresh juices, fruit, fish and seafood, sweet treats... in short, a bit of everything. One of the specialties is Thai fondue. A few stalls sell clothes and other odds and ends.

The menu is exhaustive, and here dishes are shared between guests, Thai-style! The portions are generous and the flavours authentic. A recommended address.

In a magnificent white colonial-style house on the banks of the river, you'll find a sophisticated restaurant and café for gourmet delights.

The place is particularly romantic at sunset, and well worth the trip. The bill, however, is a little steep..
