Sala Pow Yunnan

The "Sala Pow shop factory" in Thoed Thai

5 Flavours

Low season 1,000 Sala Pows a day.

High season 1,500 - 2,000 a day!
Bloody impressive for a Mum & Daughters shop.

Location on the left hand side, going into Thoed Thai, before the police checkpoint.
Sorry no GPS this trip.

Thoed Thai has not yet a plethora of hangouts and every small café or ‘order made’ eatery is worth to be mentioned.

Slightly before the village centre, ahead of the school, where the road plunges down, a small ‘café and pies’ was recently opened. It is called ‘You and Me’ (Toer & Chan). Wifi is available and it closes at around 17:00.

Just opposite ‘You and Me’ café there is a small, fun eatery providing ‘order made’ (tam sang) food. It's called ‘Muay Dek Sen’. The friendly lady owner opens till 19:00 or 20:00, depending on the customer affluence.

(Unfortunately, I made no picture of that den).

In the center, opposite the sports field’s entrance (just before the market), there is another Café, a little longer established. It also provides traditional massage.

In addition to drinks, a small choice of food is available and, in the (early) morning, it is possible to get an honest breakfast with eggs and toasts (or items brought in from the nearby market).

The lady owner has twin daughters and the place is also very friendly.

For bikers, the opposite mechanic shop might be a beacon (and, sometimes, a helping hand).

The Ting Ting

is a popular Chinese restaurant next door to the Rim Taan Guesthouse.
The place is spotlessly clean & can cater to big tour groups

The food is damn good, especially the vege dishes - superb!

We had a big GTR dinner here in 2010 for Shan New Year

Highly recommended as the spot to eat in Thoed Thai.

The new coffee shop on the block

Khun Sa Coffee

Open air, cheap & cheerful. Nice Location.

Enough staff to confuse the hell out of staff & customers - who's doing what?

Location between Rim Taan Guesthouse and the 7-11.

BTW I have been told they will have to change the name. Remove the Khun Sa.

The Krua Fai Kham / ex Saraburi

My favourite night time dining spot in Thoed Thai.

An open air ramshackle looking place downtown central Thoed Thai.

An excellent spot to watch the Thoed Thai world go by.

Good tasty food, huge servings. Cheap prices.

Run by the amazing Lamduan. The gal with a big personality & heart.

Highly recommended.

Thoed Thai Coffee Shops

Thoed Thai continues to boom somewhat & seems to have new coffee shops everywhere.

A couple of little air con charmers, recently discovered with Dave DKT.

The Wang Coffee shop

Aircon, nice & cosy, plus super convenient location by the morning market, although only 7.30AM opening.

A bubbly, well educated Chinese owner from Thoed Thai.

A GTR brekky with a difference.

The One Coffee

An aircon cafe, difficult to see in a row of shophouses, in the main down by the market.

Clean, low key atmosphere, with convenient parking right outside the door.

Akha owned, fun ladies, with an animated style once you can break the ice, chat to them & get 'em going.

Coffee & cheap eats.

I was in there yesterday. Business a bit slower, but still doing the best sarapao around.
But, they now have a coffee shop next door.

The family that have that biz are lovely people.
Some of the kids went to Australia to study for a short while I understand.

In its place the PR Friends Disco Pub
