Why go, and how to do it well

The Good Days Cafe is a well-regarded café and eatery located on Pajaksinlapacom Road in the Mak Khaeng area of Udon Thani, drawing a consistently positive response from locals and visitors alike. Its welcoming atmosphere and reliable food make it a popular spot for those looking to slow down and enjoy a comfortable meal or coffee away from the bustle of the city center.

Guests can expect a relaxed, café-style setting suited to casual dining throughout the day. Whether stopping in for breakfast, a midday meal, or an afternoon coffee, the café caters to a broad range of tastes and occasions. The consistent crowd of returning customers speaks to the quality of both the food and the overall experience on offer.

On the practical side, The Good Days Cafe is open seven days a week, with hours running from 07:30 to 18:00 most days — though on Wednesdays the café closes slightly earlier at 17:00.

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.
