ลานเบียร์ สโมคเฮ้าส์ Kok River Smokehouse and Beergarden — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

I had the Value Eater combination platter, and boy, was it both delicious and filling. I moved to Chiang Rai 17 years ago (from South Texas), and haven't had proper smoked BBQ in all that time - until now. I will definitely return for brisket, and for sure will have to try a pulled pork sandwich. One positive suggestion would be to provide frosted mugs (or glasses) for the beer; this would appeal to the farang's not used to the Thai custom of putting ice cubes in their beer (myself, I don't care)...

I can imagine all the previous riverfront construction (bike path, roadway and shoreline) on the north shore of the Kok River disrupted their business, but it's OK now.

Need reservation in Facebook messenger.(if it's not baked meal, no need.) Switzerland guy named Lucas is a good chef. Pork 75baht /100g Beef 145baht/100g There are the other many kinds of side menu. Some meal is for special reserve, you should ask him first , it's the best way no missing anymore. Enjoy 😊

2023.7.16 Now they got Thai staff owner, restaurant was changed to great design. And menu is more be systematic. You don't need reserve anymore. But in low season they don't have draught beer😭 Wonderful smoked meals🤤 there are few Thai menu,too. That's good coz my wife dislikes...

This is restaurant serves up the real deal BBQ that would rival any smoke house in the US and by far the BEST in all of Thailand. I personally ordered the brisket, pulled pork, beef ribs, smoked chicken and coleslaw all of which were phenomenal. Service was also superb; extremely responsive, attentive and staff ensured you had everything you needed.

I’d highly recommend any folks in the Chiang Rai vicinity craving BBQ to swing on by!
