Getting a farang breakfast in Mae Chaem is problematic & if you ask the Sikon the night before, they can prepare one for you the next morning.

The Krua Kong Jan has a reputation for the best food in town.

Ron Webb, Jurgen & I dropped in here for a meal the night after the Mae Hong Son International Music Night

We were hungry & each ordered a couple of dishes, thinking they wont be big & it would be no problem to eat.
Well we were wrong, the servings were huge & the food fantastic. We could not eat all the food & promised ourselves that we would be back to sample their food again.
What you see in the pic above is only half of our "snack."

The Krua Kong Jan is on R1088 north of Mae Chaem, on the west (left hand side heading North), 1.7 kms from the main T intersection in town.
GPS Waypoint: N18 30.830 E98 21.546
The restaurant also has a superb view from the 1srt floor, where you should dine & enjoy the view.
You can see Wat Buddha En across the padi fields from the restaurant.

Aom at Lung Dang Coffee / Baan Din has gone to Australia for 6 months,
Noi Na at Sawatdee Mae Chaem has closed up shop & gone to Phuket.

Lung Dang has reopened as Heuan Man Muk & its now a bit of a hot night spot with the Ban Yang Luang sisters running the joint.

Well worth checking out for happy hour....and the food I had there was very good; although I found the seating arrangements not so comfortable.

KOUNG NGA

Koung Nga restaurant - Mae Chaem

Koung Nga restaurant - Mae Chaem

overlooking the rice paddies 300 metres "behind" the hospital

once one of the most popular in town, but the police have taken their business to the Heuan Man Muk & they pull in the punters there now. Koung Nga is relatively quiet in comparison. But worth checking out at dusk for a quiet bevvy & /or a quick meal.

Another newish spot is the Nui Suan

A plug for the Rai Nuea Mok for breakfast.

Undoubtedly the place to go for a farang brekky in Mae Chaem.
