A few weeks ago, we discovered a delicious purveyor of Easy Thai<\/a> near the Sunday Market, next to the Toyota dealership. Of the three small rarn ar harn dtarm sang <\/em>located there, Lon Hoi Thot is the northernmost one (furthest from the market and directly across from the 7-11). They have an English menu available to foreigners, and of course all of the easy Thai classics are available even if they aren\u2019t listed there. One of the family members, Koi, speaks excellent English and has provided me with a lot of pronunciation tips for ordering Thai food. <\/p>\n

All of the food at Lon Hoi Thot is fresh and served very quickly from their two cooking stations. My favorite dish of theirs is gai kratiem prik thai <\/em>(chicken with garlic and pepper). Lon Hoi Thot adds more garlic and chili to the dish than most places, which makes it the best one I\u2019ve had in Thailand. I also really like their pad prik giang <\/em>(vegetables in red curry sauce), either gai <\/em>(with chicken) or jai <\/em>(with tofu and extra vegetables).<\/p>\n

When we took Lauren\u2019s family here for lunch a few weeks ago, their comment after the meal was \u201cis this place open for dinner? We want to come back tonight.\u201d Unfortunately Lon Hoi Thot is only open until 4PM, but I took them on a repeat visit for lunch the next day.<\/p>\n

The dishes at Lon Hoi Thot are priced similarly to other food stalls<\/a> in town (about $1), the quality is very high, and the kratiem prik thai <\/em>is completely addictive. We had some for lunch both yesterday and today, and I may have to stop by tomorrow (our final day in Mae Hong Son) for one more hit.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (12\/1\/2011): I discovered on our return trip to Mae Hong Son that Lon Hoi Thot is now open for dinner! Oh, and the food remains as delicious as I remember it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
