This trendy riverside café has an extensive menu of Thai and international foods, homemade baked goods, and the best local coffee. They also sell house-made and locally sourced items including tall bottles of wild honey and bags of lightly roasted Thai coffee beans.

In an increasingly hip neighborhood on the edge of town, this taqueria serves authentic Mexican food including homemade tortillas (flour and corn), salsa, and hot sauce. The chicken mole is delicious and the margaritas are spot on, too. It's a nice break from Thai food when the need arises.

Just 5 minutes from the main historic park by car, this bright, colonial-style café is in a lovely manicured garden. The menu offers a mix of Thai staples and Western comfort foods, but they’re really known for their noodle soup with roast pork.
