Somtam Tidpak Spicy Papaya Salad Restaurant, in Downtown Chiang Rai — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

We ran in to this place to seek cover from the storm and because I was nearing the infamous hangry stage. The hospitality was amazing. I ordered something that they prepared special for us as it wasn't on the menu. The food was incredible! I'm back home now and still think of this place. The prices were insanely cheap compared to anything in Chiang Rai. The food, bar none. Even when they make something that isn't even on the menu. The service was amazing. I learned a little bit of Thai while there, the basics, but they had a gentleman that spoke English with us to ensure we were satisfied. The food, the portions, the service, the venue, the atmosphere - definitely worth a 5 star...

This place is incredible!! I was just wandering around and then I sit here and ordered some random food. Menu is not in English bit that ain't a problem since they speak fine English and menu has picture to each one dish. But.... the food here is just incredible. It was so tasty that even when I was full I keep eating to look like a big pig now. The staff is very nice and helpful. They notice that the sun move enough to hit my ugly face, but they ask me if I wanna change tables to avoid sun. And then other girl notice that I was looking for some toothpicks so she bring me few sec later even without telling her. This place is highly recommended for everyone who likes cheap + great food + nice...

Sorry, but we cannot recommend this restaurant. The half chicken came to the table cold. 5 tables were not cleared for at least 10 minutes. They were the only "free" tables. The table behind me was still not cleared after 20 minutes. The staff tries hard, but something doesn't work. Seafood salad: squid rings & tomatoes no taste. Sauce peculiar. Papaya salad: Sauce also peculiar. We think the chef has no taste. A lot of food is left behind. Typically European no matter how the food tastes. The main thing is cheap The restaurant does not match Chiang Rai. We're never going...
