Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well
Breakfast is the whole point here, and the kitchen doesn't pretend otherwise. Doors open at seven and everything stops at 2.30pm, seven days a week, so this is a morning and early-afternoon place rather than somewhere to drift into for a late lunch. The menu covers both Thai and international breakfasts, which is what makes it useful when you're traveling with someone who wants rice soup and someone else who wants eggs and toast.
It sits on a soi off Mun Mueang Road in Phra Sing, which puts you inside the old city and within walking distance of the temples most people are heading for after they eat. Prices sit in the middle bracket. Not the cheapest breakfast in Chiang Mai, and you'd pay less at a market stall, but you're paying for choice and a place to sit properly.
My advice is to go early. Somewhere this popular with both residents and visitors fills up, and weekend mid-mornings are the crunch point. If you turn up at half seven you'll have the run of the place.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
