Eating Umphang Rice Porridge at Kamsing Homestay: A homely breakfast you must try when visiting Tak

When talking about traveling to the northernmost part of Tak province, Umphang, many people think of the pristine nature, the famous Thi Lo Su Waterfall, or the simple homestay atmosphere surrounded by mountains and forests. But for mr.hotsia, the experience worth sharing is tasting the special recipe rice porridge atKamsing Homestayone of the must-stop places to rest and enjoy breakfast on this route.

Traveling from Tak city to Umphang, mr.hotsia had the chance to experience winding roads full of curves but with very good road surface quality, making the drive to Umphang not too tiring (which is great for those who love driving like me). Along the way, you will pass Mae Sot, a border trade center city.

Kamsing Homestay with its simple and charming atmosphere

Upon arriving at Kamsing Homestay, the first thing mr.hotsia felt was the warmth and friendliness of the owners. The green mountain views surrounding the place make it not just an ordinary accommodation but a great starting point for exploring Umphang's nature.

But what impressed me the most was the breakfast menu called “Rice Porridge” — a simple dish that seems ordinary but is full of attention to detail. The broth is simmered to a rich and mellow flavor, fresh shrimp sourced from nearby waters, and traditional Thai side dishes that perfectly complement the taste.

The rice porridge in Umphang differs from other places by using fresh ingredients from the local community. Sometimes mr.hotsia even got to taste slightly crispy dried tiny shrimp, a local specialty of Tak province, similar to what you see inDried Squid and Salted Squid from Koh Phanganbut here the focus is more on tiny shrimp, giving the rice porridge a unique flavor.
