"Many Northern Thais don’t really leave their home region, which is why the Northern Thai food in Bangkok is usually abysmal. This open-air eatery in suburban Bangkok is a rare exception, thanks to its accurate renditions of regional favorites. Originally run by a family from Lampang, Maan Muang has since taken on new owners who stay faithful to the old recipes, including a great gang hang lay (Burmese-style pork belly stew), sai oua (Northern Thai sausages), and the best saa pak (a vegetable salad that has to be ordered ahead) south of Chiang Mai." - Chawadee Nualkhair, Austin Bush, Sirin Wongpanit
