During the winter season, most Thais head up north, likewise to many tourists. Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Pai are the common places to go these days and i couldn't agree more that i visited Chiang Mai myself.
During my visit, i had the opportunity to go to this one particular restaurant, that i must say is one of the most memorable places i've been in Thailand. It sits on top of a mountain and is very cozy, a restaurant by the name of Palaad Tawan Ron. This restaurant is a very well known restaurant that many visitors and locals of the city of Chiang Mai love visiting because of its spectacular view.
The food here is also great, although many people say the food is not so exceptional compared to the flabbergasting view of the city of Chiang Mai. Right below the restaurant, hovering the view of the town is a beautiful lake and lots and lots of trees, so you feel very much in the green.
For dinner, i ordered fried fish, tom yum goong, mixed vegetables, crab fried rice, and a nice cool beer. The price was around 800 baht, which is very ordinary, especially considering the location. Overall, i was very pleased with the dishes, they also came quite quickly, but they also became cold quite quickly, because the weather up there is a lot cooler than in the city.
To get there, you can rent a truck, taxi, or you can drive by yourself up the mountain. The path is pretty steep so driving is actually quite fun, around 10-15 minute drive up the mountain.
