etcThink Northern Thai street food but indoors, seated at a table, not standing on the street.
Small place with limited seating so a small group.not suggested for vegans or vegetarians
We all pay the same price no matter how much you eat or do not eat.
After, I may go to one of the 2 Thai dessert shops and most likely a Thai food market. That's optional.
Desserts= so much more than just mango sticky rice which they usually sell out of. Coconut pancakes are fantastic if they have them.
