The short answer
Khao Soi Mae Manee: what visitors should know first
Choose it for a quieter khao soi lunch outside the old city, ideally by taxi. It is a meat and fish kitchen, so vegetarians should ask staff whether a meat-free bowl is possible.

Why it matters
Why Khao Soi Mae Manee is worth your time
For visitors with a day to spare, Khao Soi Mae Manee is a calmer alternative to the crowded old-city khao soi shops. Two guides name it, and the choice of four proteins makes it easy for mixed groups.
It also appeals to families with children because of the children's menu and the picture menu that removes the language barrier. The cost is distance: you need a taxi, and the shop is not on the usual temple route. Vegetarians and Jain travellers should choose one of the meat-free restaurants in this guide instead.

How to experience it
Khao Soi Mae Manee is named by Women's Weekly Singapore and Eating Thai Food. Women's Weekly gives the address as 18 Chotana Road in Chang Phueak and says you can choose chicken, fish, pork or beef, with nam ngiao (a northern noodle dish) also on the menu. Eating Thai Food places it slightly outside town on the way to Mae Rim and recommends the beef khao soi.
Take a taxi or a ride-hailing car, as it is not in the old city. Eating Thai Food says it is at the end of a long quiet street, so share the Thai address with your driver. Arrive for lunch and look at the picture menu, which makes ordering easy.
If anyone in your party avoids beef or pork, the chicken and fish options are listed, but ask about broth. This is not a vegetarian restaurant and we found no meat-free bowl, so the listing carries no diet tag.
