From Pai to Chiang Rai with Love and Charin Pie

Previously:

Pai Night Market Part 2

Today's breakfast, we were asked to order in-room dining.  This was because there wasn't much guests in the hotel.  Their menu was pretty much the same with what we had yesterday, so I won't be talking much in details.  After breakfast, we got ready to drive long way from Pai to Chiang Rai, around 7 hours. 

 

An ultimate curve

Charin Pie in Charin Garden Resort is a-must visit place whenever driving from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai or vice versa.  It is located halfway between these two cities and this restaurant offers good food and they are famously known for their delicious pies as well.  It made a perfect stop for a short break.  

Look at how many types of pies they serve everyday.  The best one would definitely hands down to lemon meringue pie.  We had three pieces to share between the four of us.  We got chocolate pie, lemon meringue pie and also pecan pie.  We then brought another 3 pieces to take away which were pumpkin pie, lime key pie and the second piece of that scrumptious lemon meringue pie.  

Their lemon meringue is very fine like something you can get from any great patisserie.  The base was super thin, the curd was good sour then balanced with soft sweet meringue on top. 

Nothing much on this day, basically our day has nearly gone just on the road.  Wait until the next day, where we explored more of Chiang Rai city.
