Krua Mai Mueang Northern Thai Home Cooking
ครัวไม้เมือง
A Northern Thai home-style eatery around Kad Nam Thong, with wooden tables, indigo Mo Hom cloth on the walls, and a signature northern platter, mushroom curry and fried frog legs.
The restaurant is at 303 Nam Thong Road, directly opposite the entrance to Nam Thong Hotel. Local media recommend it as a traditional Phrae home-cooking spot. Wooden tables and Mo Hom indigo-dyed cloth, a Phrae specialty, decorate the room, and there are two air-conditioned private rooms. Highlights include a northern Thai platter, snakehead fish cooked Lui Suan style, garlic fried frog legs (about THB 150), Thop mushroom coconut curry, Hang Lay curry, stir-fried pork larb, and Khai Pam (egg baked in banana leaf). Portions are generous and the dishes tend to be spicy. Expect about THB 100–250 per person. It is about 2 km from the old town, so drive or take a taxi.
