After 10 years in Britain, a Pai entrepreneur named Ping returned to her hometown and opened this highly successful burger restaurant. The modest establishment is also the place to share tips with the travelers who gather here nightly.
Husband-wife duo Carlo and Supaporn man this perfectly situated indoor-outdoor bar, bistro, and guesthouse at one of the busiest intersections in Pai, just at the end of the walking street. The menu is expansive with Thai-fusion tapas, all-day breakfast, large pizzas, and Thai staples. Cocktails are top-notch and desserts, freshly baked daily by Supaporn, are not to be missed.
Widely acknowledged as Pai's best restaurant, Silhouette serves outstanding Thai-inspired European cuisine, made with fresh, mostly organic, local produce. Panoramic mountain views, the quirky house sense of style, and live jazz music all add to the pleasure of having a meal here.
This trendy riverside café has an extensive menu of Thai and international foods, homemade baked goods, and the best local coffee. They also sell house-made and locally sourced items including tall bottles of wild honey and bags of lightly roasted Thai coffee beans.
This charming restaurant just a bit south of town is nestled in a lush tropical garden and has a vast menu of Thai specialties. Locally grown sesame is featured in a variety of dishes.
Classically trained baker Nattamon Holmberg puts an emphasis on slow and sustainable food at this cozy café on the Kok River that serves a mix of Western favorites like avocado toasts, along with Thai food. The prices are a little higher than other restaurants in Chiang Rai, but the quality of its locally sourced ingredients more than make up for it.
Although it's located right down the street from a major attraction (Thawan Duchanee's "Black House" museum), this family-run business keeps its prices low and its traditional dishes noticeably fresh and delicious. Much of what they make is straight off the Give Green Farm, and operates as a master class in sustainable comfort food.
Family run since Inthira Tansuhaj first opened it in 1964, this Mae Sariang favorite sticks to Thai staples like curries, soups, and stir-fries. English menus are available, and service is actually quite efficient for an ever-expanding space that now seats up to 300 people.
This pretty, family-run lunch spot is known for the local specialty "Sukhothai noodles”---a clear pork broth with rice noodles, chili flakes, toasted peanuts, and lime, topped with roasted and minced pork. The restaurant doubles as a boutique selling jewelry and silk textiles.
Fragrant with incense, this hippie-chic café is set in an idyllic, shaded courtyard garden with mismatched rattan furniture, colorful cushions, sheer curtains, and Buddha statues. The food is healthy, hearty, and wholesome.
The Anantara resort's main breakfast buffet room turns into a reputable Thai restaurant during the lunch and dinner hour, offering northern specialities like khao soi, geang ho (dry curry pork with glass noodles and vegetables), and a duo of dips made with minced pork and green chilies.
At this Pai institution, the crowd-pleasing international menu matches the diversity of the live jazz music performed here. There's lots of seating and hammocks keep the vibe laid-back.
