The location is in the place of the old Bella Villa pizza shop.
The bulk of their customers are doctors and staff from the Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital, across the street.

Celebrating with Dr Tom, director of a Chiang Khong district health centre, a good man, he likes to try his hand playing blues guitar & is fond of a Jamesons tipple.
He was also a significant help organising the 2019 CKhing Khong MUsic Festival.

The Tamarind has changed hands and is no longer the Tamarind. The new place doesn't appear to be as good.

Nam Ngiao

This dish is one of my favourites.

Nam ngiao or nam ngio is a noodle soup or curry of the cuisine of the Tai Yai people who live in the northeast of Burma, the southwest of Yunnan province, China, and in northern Thailand, mainly in Mae Hong Son Province. The dish has become famous in the northern Thai cuisine. Wikipedia

Here are three of the best in Chiang Rai area. Each with their own unique recipe.

Num ngeo Wan Dee
น้ำเงี้ยววันดี

On the forecourt of Mr DIY. This place has very imited seating, sells out quickly. From 11.30am onwards its pumping with hospital staff taking a lunch break and take away orders. Best to avoid at that time. I'd recommend going before 11.30am.


Nam Ngiaw Lung Mhan Nong Bua
ร้านน้ำเงี้ยวลุงหมานหนองบัว

Always a friendly welcome! Plenty of seating. Desert is good too.


and further afield in Mueang Phan

พัชรีน้ำเงี้ยว

Splendid Nam Ngiao, super friendly service.
