Khao Kab Kaeng — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

Overpriced tourist trap. Green curry costs 160thb which is 4x more than normal price. Yes, the owner is friendly, but with a motive. The staff are all trained to push the priciest items on the menu, especially the tamarind sauce fish (240thb). When they ask whether you want spicy, it's not because they're adjusting the spice level of the food you're ordering—they're just gonna bring you a small bowl of bird's eye chilli in soy sauce.

I visited because food guides kept recommending this as a restaurant to visit in Chiang Mai and it's literally opposite my hotel, but I'd say avoid at all costs.

Situated only a five minute walk from our hotel was a lovely Thai restaurant called Kao Kab Kang. We were greeted by friendly staff who gave us menu recommendations.

We started with Rice Crackers with minced pork coconut cream sauce which was so amazing. The crackers were light and crispy with a hint of sesame and the sauce complimented it perfectly.

Following that we had Beef Stir Fry with black pepper and a Sweet and Sour Chicken with special fried rice and white rice which came in a TEDDY bear shape which was so bloomin’ adorable. The food and service was excellent, the food very reasonably priced (around 400 baht in total) and I would definitely recommend...
