Hey there, fellow travelers!

This is Mini, sharing another adventure from my vacation!

After a fantastic shopping spree at Chiang Mai's famous Sunday Market,

I was pondering where to grab a bite when I stumbled upon

Ran Tub Nhoi (ร้าน ตูบน้อย).

It was perfectly situated for a meal right after exploring the market,

and its high Google ratings at the time sealed the deal. I'm so glad I went in!

Not only was the food delicious, but the service was incredibly friendly too.

Join me as I review this Chiang Mai Old Town eatery, where you can enjoy a satisfying meal at an affordable price, even in a bustling area.

Ran Tub Nhoi is nestled right in Chiang Mai's Old Town,

directly in front of the Wat Phra Singh temple.

The menu here is super traveler-friendly, featuring English names and clear photos alongside the Thai.

Whether you're craving noodles, rice dishes, or soups, you can easily browse and pick your perfect meal.

Note that **prices might vary slightly depending on your choice of ingredients**.

I ordered the Pad Krapow Moo Sap, which is a classic Thai dish.

It's essentially a delicious rice bowl featuring stir-fried minced pork with fragrant basil.

The dish arrived with a generous portion of rice and the flavorful pork stir-fry,

topped with a perfectly cooked fried egg that I added on.

For me, it had a pleasant kick of spice, but when eaten with the fried egg and rice,

the flavors balanced out beautifully, making each bite wonderfully moist and delicious.

Spice tolerance varies, of course, so if you're not a fan of heat,

it's always a good idea to **ask if they can make it less spicy** when you order.

Beyond the food, the friendly service truly stood out. When I asked for directions to the restroom,

the staff kindly guided me, making the whole experience even better.

Ran Tub Nhoi is perfectly located to combine with a visit to Wat Phra Singh and the Sunday Market.

Wat Phra Singh

This stunning temple is very close to the restaurant, making it easy to incorporate into your meal plans.

If you plan to explore the temple, be sure to visit during its opening hours!

Sunday Market

After browsing the vibrant market, stopping at a nearby restaurant like Ran Tub Nhoi saves you the hassle of traveling elsewhere for food.

Just because the market is open late doesn't mean the restaurants are. If you're planning a dinner,

always confirm their operating hours and last order times.

Adding the cost of a fried egg or a drink to your main dish price helps you easily budget for your meal.

Breaking the yolk and mixing it with the rice and meat was a fantastic combination for me.

If you order a spicy rice bowl, give this tip a try!

Ran Tub Nhoi was an unexpected find after shopping at the Sunday Market, but it turned out to be a truly satisfying dining experience.

I enjoyed the delicious food, the affordable prices, and the memorable friendly service.

If you're looking for a convenient and tasty meal near Wat Phra Singh or the Sunday Market, without having to travel far,

I highly recommend adding **Ran Tub Nhoi** to your list of Chiang Mai Old Town eateries.
