Thai Food @ Huai Tueng Thao Lake

You won't find many tourists here: this artificial lake northwest of Chiang Mai is surrounded by restaurants, all following the same concept. There are wooden or bamboo huts on stilts with thatched roofs, feet in the water, where you order food that is brought from the kitchen. You do have to pay an entrance fee to enter the area, but it’s a fun spot for a long lunch. On the west side of the lake, there are some large straw sculptures: King Kong and such. Thai people love it, and it gets very busy on weekends.
