Good Restaurants in Chiang Rai

I have noticed your tendency to loiter at the desert table at Le Meridien.

Not sure that you're a reliable source when it comes to deserts.

I swear, you have the memory of an elephant. I cant even remember the last time my wife and I were able to attend the Sunday Brunch at the Meridien.

In my opinion the lemon meringue was better than what we had at Charin.

There is NO better lemon pie than the lemon supreme at Charin! ! ! ! !

You really shouldn’t be so shy. If you like something just say so.

I can’t say we agree with you, however.

I realize not everyone will agree with be about Charin's incredibly delicious lemon supreme pie . . .

BUT YOU'RE ALL WRONG!

Just kidding. If you know of a better lemon pie here in the CR area, please share the wealth.

I have yet to come across my pie of preference, to cleanse the pallet after a rich flavorful meal. That would be something more akin to a Key Lime Pie, with a sweat crunchy gram cracker like crust, a tart and zesty filling, topped with a rich whip cream topping.

Today’s pie was not bad though.

Amen on the Key lime pie.

There's a newish, well it's new to me anyway, place that serves

Muslim food, near the Den Ha traffic lights opposite Tesco Lotus.

Popped in today for the first time. Had the goat with yellow rice and it was delicious.

Also tried the naan bread with bean curry and it was delightful.

I've heard their coffee's are really good but didn't try one this time.

They also have parking at the front which is a bonus.

Do yourself a favour and have a look.

[sceadugenga]

Must be a goat plague going around, Doi Chaang coffee shop was offering goat curry to punters this week as well.

Sounds good though, will definitely check it out.

Perhaps someone has already mentioned and frankly this pinned topic is way too long to read at 25 pages...but...

Le Meridien weekday buffet has improved a lot over the past month....ate there this week and found excellent quality, setting and service for bargain price of 249 baht all in. The selection is not massive but certainly there is plenty of tasty food that would satisfy most anyone.

Worth a try if you haven't been there yet.

If you haven't been to Rai Boon Rawd recently for a meal you're really missing a treat. The new restaurant is absolutely lovely and the views are beautiful. It is well worth the drive out here. Yes I am posting from the restaurant right now.

I see that they have doggy parking

[villagefarang]

They were a little reluctant at first but relented in the end. We ate downstairs next to the grass.

Does Rai Boon Rawd have a website. Or can I talk you into directions?

How about tel;ling us how to get there from Thoeng

It is on the map but one of the easier ways to get there would be to drive to the White Temple and turn right. At the end of that road you will be on the Old Chiang Mai Road where you will turn right, heading back into town. Rai Boon Rawd is on the left a few kilometers down the road and believe me, you will not miss it with all the cars and guards directing traffic.

It's a farm?

It is a tea plantation and grows a variety of other things as well. Their marketing plan seems to be a work in progress but I can see this location becoming a major draw for Chiang Rai. They have a lovely restaurant and sometimes sponsor festivals, mountain bike and other sporting events and concerts. Tomorrow is the mt bike race. It was fun watching riders out riding the trails this evening.

Boon Rawd it the brewing company behind Singha Beer. I guess they have so much cash-flow, they need to invest the money and real-estate is one way to go. The owner was there today with an entourage checking things out. We had a nice visit with a photographer and a couple of models who were in the group.

This model posed for several photos with Cookie. She was afraid at first but it was amazing to watch as she switched into model mode and started posing, showing no fear at all.

So did you get to pose with one or did the Mrs carefully interpose herself between you and them?

I am on the other end of the leash, so I did get close but no contact. My wife doesn't mind me talking and knows I can be trusted.

Casa de Tapas (Spanish) restaurant located on Super Highway behind Chiang Rai bowling alley - Good selection of tasty dishes and fine wine. In addition, the restaurant is serving, Roasted Turkey meal throughout the coming Holidays until 15 Jan 2014. Prices are comparable to the western style meals served here in Thailand. They also serve Tapas and Sangria. Felt like I was back in Madrid, Spain.

[sceadugenga]

Thanks Bobby, I reviewed this last year and it's good to see that they have maintained their standards.

Indeed, an excellent wine list.

Le Meridiene appears to be back to it's best, the seafood buffet today was first class.

Shrimp and crab platters were available and small serves of lobster brought to the tables.

[Skip09]

I haven't looked through all of these post, so...where is a good place for Christmas dinner? Preferrably under 300-350 baht. Low budget, X-mas at Kmart.

Also, any good, everyday buffets of Thai food for under a 100B? I'm in Udon Thani and there are many. I just need a change of pace, so making a move.

I was in CR in '07 and met a girl that took me to a Chinese-Thai place overlooking the river. You could eat inside and there were gazebos outside. It was a little pricey but I'd like to go back. Seems it was mostly seafood or riverfood.

Last but not least she also took me to a restaurant that had ladyboys for waiters. It seemed a little pricey too, but the service was excellent NPI

I've got a few friends coming after NY and want to take them there and see their erection. Haha--I'm not a fag. Just playing with you guys. But I would seriously like an answer. Thanks

That may be the place; we ate under a bungalow. A little difficult to tell, being it was at night. It does look sort of familiar.

Same pictures, different poster, better size.

Pleasant lunch at Le Meridien today; very quiet only about twenty diners when we left.

My lunch was free, I had nine stamps again on my regular customer card.

The cold cuts and seafood is still the best for those seeking value for money, you could easily turn several plates into the main course then top up on the excellent cheese and deserts.

The town was strangely quiet today, we ended up at Boon Rawd Park where I took a few photos and bought a couple of bottles of mulberry juice, a refreshing drink when diluted with soda water.

They taste even better when eaten straight from the tree like we did as kids. Faces all purple but who cares.
