Across the street from P Nik\u2019s<\/a>, and next to the CP Fresh Mart, is my favorite Thai food vendor in Mae Hong Son. The setting is basic, though on the larger end for a rarn ar harn dtarm sang<\/em>, and the food is fantastic. It\u2019s run by a friendly Thai lady, P Dam, and her family.  She serves all of the Easy Thai<\/a> dishes at their finest, and the lunchtime the operation is a sight to behold. Customers come up and give a verbal order, and somehow P Dam keeps all of the requests in her head, even when the queue is more than a dozen people long.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been going to Rarn P Dam for lunch almost every weekday since I discovered it, and I\u2019m usually the only farang <\/em>eating there. P Dam also knows<\/a> that I like spicy food, so I can be assured of ample chilies. Unfortunately, Rarn P Dam is not open for dinner, and they are closed on Sundays, so Lauren wasn\u2019t able to try their food for a few weeks (she lunches with her NGO during the week). <\/p>\n

Over Songkran I was finally able to introduce Lauren to Rarn P Dam, and since then we\u2019ve been going for Saturday lunches and the occasional weekday breakfast. All of the dishes are 25-30 Baht (less than $1), the vegetables are fresh and generously portioned, and P Dam is an ace with the wok.<\/p>\n

Today, in preparation for this writing, I finally found out the name of my \u201cThai food stall across from Nik\u2019s.\u201d If you are in Mae Hong Son, you should definitely pencil in a lunch or two at Rarn P Dam. Lauren\u2019s family ate here three times while they were visiting, and I\u2019ll be stopping by for my daily fix until we leave next week. Yum!<\/p>\n
