Options in Chiang Rai, Thailand

As one of the hottest tourist destinations in Thailand, Chiang Rai features many excellent dining opportunities. While both Thai and international cuisine is available to visitors, it is the distinctive northern Thai cuisine that Chiang Rai is best known for. Of course all options are available in Chiang Rai town, but once in the countryside, visitors should experience the pleasure of eating authentic northern Thai cuisine, including dishes that have been influenced by Thailand’s neighbors, Burma, Laos, and even China; such dishes include khan khanoon (spicy jackfruit curry) served with sticky rice and sai ooa (spicy pork sausages). The epitome of northern Thai dining is a traditional khan toke dinner, which features a variety of dishes served on a small, round table. Visitors can easily try a khan toke dinner at several restaurants in the town.
