Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย), Thailand – Welcome to Ban Rak Thai, a gorgeous village high in the mountains of Mae Hong Son (แม่ฮ่องสอน) province in Northern Thailand. The village has a lot of history where KMT fighters fled Yunnan, China and settled in this village. They brought with them their culture, Yunnanese tea, and Chinese food. Today, they village feels almost exactly like you’re in China, and in a spectacular location, it’s a popular place to visit. Today we’re going to explore Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย) and especially go on the ultimate Chinese food tour!
Kuay Teow Yunnan Pa Nuai (ร้านก๋วยเตี๋ยวยูนานป้านวย https://goo.gl/maps/qQj9rixfvKBbwfS39) – First thing to eat for breakfast is a bowl of Yunnanese yellow noodles. Aunty mixes them with sauces, chili oil, and garlic, gives them a hand toss. They are really tasted, highly recommended when you’re in Ban Rak Thai. Total price – 110 THB ($3.68)
LiXian Restaurant (https://goo.gl/maps/Zp6kkXsYh4xJTpfW8) – Next we headed to the small and friendly LiXian Restaurant where the owner makes a number of local Thai and Chinese dishes. One of the foods you have to eat when you’re in Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย) is fresh tea leaf salad. She chops up the tea leaves, mixes it with chicken and seasoning and stirs it up. The result is a flavorful, green tasting, herbal salad that has so many flavors going on. As I mentioned in the video, it was a little too sweet, so next time I’d ask for no sugar, but it was extremely delicious. Total price – 220 THB ($7.36)
Jee Lee Hot Pot (ร้านจี๋หลี้ https://goo.gl/maps/dZnQg32EvLu78pCb6) – This ancient looking family run hot pot restaurant is one of the best of the best restaurants in Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย). I would not go to Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย) without eating here, it’s a legendary culinary staple. They have a huge menu of all sorts of Yunnanese Chinese food, but one of their signature dishes is a hot pot that includes meat rolls, chicken, pork bones, taro, Yunnanese ham – basically any protein you name it, it’s in there. It was delicious, warming, and rich. Total price – 840 THB ($28.10)
Dew Drop meat – 200 THB ($6.69) – Finally to end this Chinese street food tour in Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย), I wasn’t going to leave without trying dew drop pork. The strips of pork literally hang and collect the morning dew for 30 days to age and preserve the meat. The result is a bacon / ham / dry aged taste that is spectacularly delicious. This small shop was right in the center square of Ban Rak Thai, and it’s more of a shop than a restaurant, but they will serve you if you show up and buy some dew drop!
We had a fantastic time in Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย). Again, it’s a beautiful place, and it really feels like you’ve left Thailand.
