There are many restaurants and good street food sellers in Mae Sot. Somtam on the street heading east from Tesco towards the temple, Pad Thai on the left just before the traffic lights on the road towards Mae Sot villas, fish on the right also on the road to Mae Sot villas, (just before the Giggahertz shop, Vietnamese on the left heading towards the bus station, fish opposite the junction to Casa Mia, Burmese chicken curry at Mandalay second turning left after Mae Sot general hospital, a lovely atmospheric Thai diner just off the main road to Tak turn right at the top of the first mountain and the up market place a couple of kilometres on the left on the road north towards Mae Ramat. However, really good Vegetarian food is limited: there is one good restaurant on the left hand side of the road heading out towards Mae Sot villas just before the traffic lights and close to the Pad Thai place and a small, very reasonably priced cafe off the main road leading towards Mae Sot general hospital. Incidentally, the turning left to this place is just after a good curry cafe opposite the main town mosque.
a bit past the mosque, the road splits. Left takes you to the hospital, but on the right fork, at the end of the 1st block is a wonderful fried chicken take away.
2 steak houses are along Asia Highway. One is named "Cowboy & Indian" ? the other is a bit further east and has a bright yellow sign.
