Eat Thonglor Roast Duck Chiang Rai: A flavor mr.hotsia must share

When it comes to food that mr.hotsia highly recommends when visiting Chiang Rai, besides Khao Soi and Hang Lay curry, one thing I never miss is “Thonglor Roast Duck,” a long-established roast duck shop recommended by locals through word of mouth. On my latest trip to Chiang Rai, I had to stop by to try this roast duck because I had heard its reputation for a long time, and this time it truly did not disappoint.

Thonglor Roast Duck is located in downtown Chiang Rai, not far from the clock tower where I stayed atSuknirand HotelThe location of this shop is easy to reach and has convenient parking. The shop looks simple like a warm local eatery, not fancy decorated, but the aroma of roast duck wafting from afar made me walk in without hesitation.

Melt-in-your-mouth roast duck flavor

Thonglor Roast Duck is special because the duck skin is crispy but not too hard, the meat is tender and juicy, and it has the fragrant aroma of well-marinated spices. The flavor is balanced, neither too salty nor too sweet. Paired with their special duck dipping sauce that is perfectly spicy, sweet, and sour, it amazingly enhances this meal. I ordered a whole plate of roast duck with a bowl of hot steamed rice. From the first bite, I knew this was not an ordinary roast duck I had ever eaten.

Additionally, the shop offers other interesting dishes such as duck noodles and pork blood soup, which I also tried following the regular customers’ orders. I can say that each dish is just as flavorful as the roast duck. For anyone visiting Chiang Rai and wanting to experience authentic local flavors fully, this shop is highly recommended by mr.hotsia.

Atmosphere and traveling in Chiang Rai

After enjoying the delicious Thonglor roast duck, I usually take a walk around downtown Chiang Rai, which has many charms and interesting lifestyles. If you want to experience the old town atmosphere, don’t forget to visitSaturday Walking Street “Kad Chiang Rai Ram Luek”which is not far from the roast duck shop. Or if you like beauty and uniqueness, visitingWat Rong Khunis an experience not to be missed because it is a temple with outstanding architecture and deep cultural stories.

For accommodation, mr.hotsia recommends staying in downtown Chiang Rai for convenience and to save travel time, such as Suknirand Hotel where I stayed, near the clock tower and morning-evening markets, including the walking street. It’s perfect for those who want to truly explore local lifestyles. If you prefer mid-range to luxury accommodations, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Additional recommendations for travelers

Chiang Rai is not only about the city and food. mr.hotsia suggests driving to Doi Chang, a famous coffee-growing area with fresh natural surroundings. There are also other attractions like Phan District, where you can experience hill tribe culture and beautiful nature. For more details, you can read atDrive to Doi ChangandEnjoy Phan District

Finally, if you are looking for a sweet treat to cool down after eating roast duck, tryChiang Rai Mango Sticky Rice Ice Creamwhich mr.hotsia assures is extraordinary in taste—another memorable eating experience for me.
