Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a small town and all the main eateries are within walking distance. The excellent night market is very close to the bus station.

Cham Cha Pub and Restaurant - handy Thai spot
Singakhlai Rd - Chiang Rai

Just down from the TAT office, Cham Cha does a range of standard Thai dishes and while nothing is outstanding, this is about the closest Thai place to the guesthouse area if your tiring of guesthouse food.
Type of Food: Thai /

Cheek to Cheek - late breakfast spot
Singakhlai Rd - Chiang Rai

It is a shame Cheek to Cheek doesn't open earlier as they'd probably do a good breakfast trade if they did (they don't open till 10:00). But if you don't mind a late start to the day, this is a fine option.
Type of Food: International /

Doi Chaang Coffee - a local coffee emporium
Ratyotha Rd - Chiang Rai

This coffee spot offers local and regular coffees creating a great escape from the standard guesthouse issue nescafe. A friendly spot.
Type of Food: Coffee and/or Tea House /

Kae's Cafe Burrito - Chiang Rai - Mexican fusion
Trai Rat Rd - Chiang Rai

While Chiang Rai was just about the last place we expected to see a Mexican restaurant, Kae's isn't a bad place to try to deal with that burrito craving. Kae's has a comfortable setting opposite Overbrook hospital and other western dishes are avaailable if you are not up for a burrito. Internet access is also available.
