SOMYONG POCHANA

A charming little establishment near the north gate of the old town. Run by a friendly couple, this restaurant has a simple, pleasant atmosphere, with an attractive decor. The menu features the classics of Thai cuisine: pad thai, pad krapao, fried rice, all kinds of noodles, panang curry, green curry with vegetables... It's all good! Try the excellent khao soi, Chiang Mai's specialty, prepared with chicken or beef. A very good deal for lunch, especially as prices are very low.
