Enjoy the afternoon away in a relaxing chic cafe restaurant, tea house. Friendly service and good food!

The restaurant is decorated in a very British royal style, and the whole restaurant is white-based, with dense green plants around the house, just like being in a forest. It is really a great pleasure to have a cup of coffee and dessert in such a quiet environment and enjoy this tranquility.

This is a very good Thai restaurant. The restaurant is very small, but you must try the mango sticky rice here. The sticky rice is smooth and refreshing, the dried mango is sweet and delicious, and it tastes really great when drizzled with coconut milk. In addition, the dessert, tiramisu cake, is also very good and worth tasting.

🍃As a backpacker wandering in Chiang Khong, a small town in northern Thailand, RIMKHONG RESTAURANT by the Mekong River is definitely the most unforgettable &quot;taste base&quot; of my trip. This is not only a place to fill your stomach, but also a healing corner where you can stare at the Mekong River and watch the boats 🚣🏻&zwj;♀️ slowly passing the Lao-Thai border. Here is my personal test guide to help you unlock the hidden delicacies of this restaurant! 
【📍 Location and 🌳 Environment】
The restaurant is located on the main road along the Mekong River in Chiang Khong Town, close to the pier, and it is very convenient to walk 🚶🏻&zwj;♂️ or ride a motorcycle 🛵. There is a wooden sign hanging at the door, with bamboo lighting and green plants 🎍, which has a rural style in northern Thailand. Be sure to choose an open-air seat by the river! In the evening, the river is shining with golden light, and the shadows of the mountains in Laos on the opposite bank are looming, and the atmosphere is directly full. 
【🍽️ Must-order signature dishes】 
1⃣Pla Pao, a grilled fish from the Mekong River, is a local river fish (usually catfish) that is freshly caught and grilled. The fish belly is stuffed with lemongrass, lemon leaves and Thai chili peppers, and the outer layer is coated with thick salt and slowly grilled. 
Taste: After serving, the waiter will help you crack the salt shell. The fish meat is tender and juicy, with the fragrance of lemongrass. Dip it in the special green chili sauce (Nam Jim Seafood), which is sour and spicy and appetizing! 
Tips: It is recommended to share with 2-3 people, and it is more authentic with sticky rice. 
2⃣Larb Moo, a classic cold dish from northern Thailand, stir-fry minced pork (minced pork) 🥩, then mix it with mint leaves, shallots, lemon juice and a lot of roasted rice. 
Taste: Sour and spicy with the charred aroma of rice, the coolness of mint leaves perfectly neutralizes the spiciness, suitable for ice beer! 
Spiciness warning: The default is the northern Thai spiciness. If you are afraid of spiciness, you can say &quot;Mai Ped&quot; (less spicy) in advance.
3⃣ Coconut milk chicken soup 🍲 (Tom Kha Gai) Compared with the stimulation of Tom Yum Goong, this soup is softer. Chicken thighs and straw mushrooms are cooked in coconut milk, garnished with galangal, lemon leaves and lime juice. 
Taste: Smooth and sweet at the entrance, slightly spicy at the end. 
4⃣ Fried spring rolls 🍢 (Po Pia Tod) Different from Vietnamese spring rolls, the fillings here are vermicelli, carrots 🥕, fungus and pork, and the skin is crispy to the point of falling off. 
Hidden way to eat: Dip in sweet and spicy sauce or wrap in lettuce leaves to eat, which is refreshing and refreshing. 
5⃣ Mango sticky rice 🍚 (Khao Niao Mamuang) A must-order for dessert lovers! The mango 🥭 is cut generously, the sticky rice is topped with warm coconut milk, and sprinkled with crispy rice to add taste. 
Bonus: The coconut milk is moderately sweet, not too sweet, perfect for the end! 
🌿 Niche hidden dishes 
✔️Cold green papaya salad (Som Tum Thai): If you see the pounding sound at the next table, don&#39;t hesitate! You can ask for pickled crab (Pu Ma), a salty and fresh Thai flavor. 
☑️Fried tilapia bones (Kra Tiem): The remaining fish bones from the grilled fish🐟 are fried until crispy, sprinkled with black pepper and salt, and are a great drink! 
【💰 Price and portion】
The average price per person is about 150-250 baht💴 (about 30-50 yuan), the portion is solid, and the price-performance ratio is touching. 
Grilled fish is priced by weight (about 200-300 baht/piece)💸, and most other dishes are 80-120 baht. 
【⏰ Practical Tips】
🕰 Best dining time: It is recommended to arrive at the restaurant between 5:30-6:30 in the evening to grab a seat by the river to watch the sunset. 
📢 Language: The menu has English and pictures, and the waiter can speak simple English, so it is stress-free to point to the picture to order. 
🚗 Transportation: Located on the main street of Chiang Khong, it takes only 5 minutes to get there by taxi from the border checkpoint, or rent a motorcycle to go there by yourself. 
❗️ Surrounding activities: After dinner, you can walk to Chiang Khong Night Market, which is only 5 minutes away, and continue to sweep Thai snacks! 
Sitting on the wooden chair of RIMKHONG, a bite of sour and spicy salad with a sip of iced Singha beer, watching the waves of the Mekong River gradually darken, and the lights of Laos on the other side of the river light up - this is the most authentic way to open Chiang Khong! If you also love this kind of slow travel of &quot;not rushing, just feeling the road&quot;, then this restaurant is definitely worth your stay for the whole evening. #MyLateNightFood #LocalFood
