Ginggarn Chiang Rai is a delightful budget-friendly gem that’s a must-visit for anyone craving delicious food without breaking the bank. Tucked away at 148/2 M.4 Rob Wiang, Mueang Chiang Rai, this cozy eatery offers an authentic Northern Thai experience with incredible value and a welcoming vibe. I visited in April 2025 and was blown away by the quality, affordability, and charm of this place! Ginggarn is a dream for those watching their wallet. A hearty meal for two, including drinks like iced Thai tea (20 THB), rarely exceeds 200 THB. There’s no entrance fee, and the straightforward pricing means no surprises on the bill. The nearby Chiang Rai Night Bazaar is great for post-dinner strolling, but Ginggarn’s food quality far surpasses typical market stalls for a similar price. It’s also close to budget accommodations like Suree House or Baan Mai Kradan Hostel, making it a convenient stop for backpackers. Ginggarn nails the trifecta: delicious Northern Thai food, dirt-cheap prices, and a cozy, authentic vibe. It’s less touristy than spots like Chivit Thamma Da, yet the food rivals pricier restaurants. Whether you’re a solo traveler or with friends, this place delivers a memorable meal without denting your budget. Pair it with a visit to nearby attractions like the Clock Tower (5-minute drive) for a perfect evening. If you’re in Chiang Rai and want good food on a budget, Ginggarn is...

The rice noodles with broth and marinated pork was perfect. Some assembly required, as the different components came in little plastic bags, but the nice lady gave us bowls and chop sticks/spoons, and we made our lunch in the bus station before boarding....
