Great food
by mim95 about Muang Thong
Another typical Thai/Chinese restaurant with great varieties of food. It can be busy sometimes at night. They have a huge tv showing Thai tv drama inside. I had breakfast and dinner here before. Breakfast was Chinese style: a bowl of congee (rice porriage) with pork (20B). For dinner I saw the porcerlin jar with soup in a huge steamer. Looks good, and that's what I had that night. It was a Chinese style soup with chicken and fuzzy melon. And I ordered a bowl of steam rice. All for 35 B.
street market of Chiang Rai
by mim95
This is a large outdoor market along the roadside of downtown Chiang Rai, with vendors selling fruits, vegetables and cooked food. The vendors actually occupy part of the road starting in the afternoon and continue on until early evening.
This is a good place to get fresh fruits, some are ready-to-eat such as pre-packaged peeled pomelo. In the early evening, you'll find all kinds of cooked dishes (20-30B). Order what you like, but they come in a plastic bag though, the usual way of carrying food and drinks in Thailand. So it's great if you have plates and utensils. There are also packaged sticky rice. Two kinds are available: white or red/purple. I like the red/purple ones. The packaged rice costs only 5B! There are also desserts available at 10B. This can be an alternative of the food court at the night market.
Don't go too late if you want to get cooked food. Many vendors are gone as soon as they run out the food. Plus the food is fresher the earlier you buy them.
