Khao Soi Thao Gae Ek — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

Craving a taste of authentic Northern Thai cuisine? Look no further than Khao Soi Thao Gae Ek. Tucked away near the iconic Wat Phra Kaew in Chiang Rai, this humble eatery offers a true culinary experience without burning a hole in your pocket.

While the menu at Khao Soi Thao Gae Ek offers a wide array of Northern Thai dishes, it's their signature dish, the Khao Soi, that steals the show. This rich and creamy coconut curry soup, served with tender pieces of meat and egg noodles, is an absolute delight for the taste buds. The balance of spices, tanginess, and creaminess in the broth is perfect, creating a harmonious and satisfying combination. It's without a doubt a must-try dish for visitors seeking an authentic taste...

We almost missed our flight for this bowl of Khao Soi. No where in the world can you find better khao Soi than in Northern Thailand. This $2 dish is a deeply fragrant curry noodle soup made with this thick, rich coconut broth, hand cut egg noodles, and protein, then topped with crispy fried noodles and chopped cilantro, sliced shallots, and pickled mustard greens. It’s savory and comforting, and every bite leaves you wanting more. We had it almost every single day while in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, it’s an absolute must-eat if you’re traveling...
