About
Ban Khun Mae is a great place to visit if you are trying famous Thai dishes for the first time as the chef flavours dishes to suit stereotypical Western tastes and nothing is overpowered with spice. Tom yum kung, chicken with cashew nuts, som tam, and spring rolls are all firm favourites here and are popular with tourists but also with a few locals - always an encouraging sign. However, there are also a couple of fairly rare, interesting Thai dishes on the menu that you would struggle to find elsewhere, such as steamed seafood curry paste served inside a young coconut husk which has a soft texture and delicate flavour; a good choice for adventurous foodies.
