Saeng Phian Khao Soi
ข้าวซอยแสงเพียร
A lakeside landmark khao soi noodle shop open for more than forty years, known for beef and chicken khao soi and Northern Thai rice noodles.
This old shop has been open for over forty years on Tha Kwan Road beside Phayao Lake, near Wat Si Umong Kham, and you can see the lake from the storefront. It focuses on traditional-style khao soi, available with chicken, beef, meatballs or spare ribs. Bloggers recommend the special beef khao soi, with its rich, slightly salty broth. Other options include Northern Thai red-broth rice noodles (Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao) and plain noodles and rice noodles. The open-front shop can accommodate group meals. A bowl costs about 50–100 baht. Sources give conflicting opening hours, so call before you visit.
