Regarding woman in a cowboy hat:

The dish she sells is khao khaa moo (pork leg over rice), and she does it well; as well as any khao khaa moo I have ever had. Interestingly, an old guy a couple of stalls away does an equally good one, if you would like to compare. However, it is a food stall, and a no-bells-and-whistles dish, so base your expectations around that, rather than thinking it must be magic because it was included by Bourdain in his show.

Her food is just O.K., not popular with Thais; mainly tourists. She just gets a lot of publicity because she is in the tourist area. Burmese lady I believe. The best is "Khaa Moo Chiang Dao". The owner supplies numerous vendors. Her shop is on Chang Phuek on the left, just past Super Highway, heading up towards Mae Rim, just past the the first 7-Eleven. She also sells the recipe for 200K!

Not yet but I will soon , I see they get some very good reviews on Tripadvisor. 

 

Make a reservation as they are a small concern and usually booked out.

Here's some Thai recommendations (some of which have already been mentioned)
