Santitham Breakfast​ & Chiang Mai Pizza​ — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I am a regular. More than 4 times per week and for the last 5 or so years. It is my go to venue. Why? Excellent family run atmosphere with great English speaking skills. They also help me with my Thai. The food choice spans more than just Thai. The perfect Western cooked breakfast without extra grease. The ingredients are fresh and the owners (Kong and his wife Ping) continually work to improve on their options and food sourcing. He has even taught himself to bake bread—sourdough, wholewheat AND rye! I think the coffee is way better than most cafes in Chiang Mai. The art of the bean has been learnt here. Choice of blends. Best rice porridge/congee in Chiang Mai. (between 30 to 60 baht) The prices are more than affordable. Weekend Pizza nights transform the decor to an Italian style, complete with homemade sourdough pizzas. Open sided restaurant for fresh air, but under cover from rain. Beer and wine in the fridge. Excellent staff and a devoted family. Lastly, I have never got sick from food poisoning, whereas I have often felt under the weather elsewhere.

If you really need to use the internet, then there is fast fibre optic fed WiFi here. Works great for demanding online web tools.

There is a customer toilet, which is kept clean, and there are multiple fans around the restaurant to keep the mosquitoes away, and the customers cool.

Oh, and there's HP and Worcestershire sauce...

I love coming here for breakfast/lunch! The food is really good and the people there are nice and friendly that I come here several times already.

Love the Jok! It goes so well with the sauce they give you. Roast pork is really enoyable (cripsy and has the fattyness you're looking for), the fish and prawns (2 pieces each) are really fresh!

The noodle soup was really good and flavourful together with the chewy noodles. I had Tom yum flavour but asked for no spicy, spice level is bearable for someone who takes little spice, worth the sweat!

Drinks are always good! Coconut is fresh, orange juice was good and the thai lemon tea was on point as well 💯

Everything here makes me start the day on a...

I may never eat an American breakfast ever again. This place is HEAVEN. I ordered a small order of pork dumplings, a BBQ pork bun, and a taro bun. As you can see in the photo, the buns are gigantic - and also filled with straight-up deliciousness. I wanted to be a fatty and order one of the cream ones too, but they didn’t have that kind this particular day. I’m sure it’s also delicious. The dumplings come doused in a vinegary, very very slightly sweet sauce, and I was happy to see that there were some kind of vegetables mixed in. Again, heaven. I will be back here many, many times.

(Admittedly the coffee is from another place right around the corner; I’m picky...
