Kuaytiaw 3 Baht
Why worth it
- A traditional kuaytiaw ruea (boat noodle) shop, named for the old custom of pricing each small bowl at just a few baht
- Rich, dark, herb-and-blood-enriched broth served in small portions meant to be ordered several at a time
- A nostalgic taste of old-school Thai canal-side noodle culture

Amazing value noodles, 3 baht for most small bowls. I was recommended the pork set (6 bowls of different pork noodles) which was a good choice. I later tried beef too which was also nice, but pork was better. Obviously nothing fancy but it was actually quite delicious! My favourites were the wide noodles in both clear and red broth. I also liked the Thai milk tea. They also serve whole coconut and fruit slushies. Great choice for a simple quick meal. The older male staff member I ordered from was so sweet and friendly as well! No AC but lots of fans so was comfortable enough. Saw some reviews mentioning utensils being dirty but they were fine when I visited. 100% recommend especially if you enjoy soup noodles:)
Im not a picky eater, just as long as it decent tasting. I was very surprised how good it was. We got the 3 baht bowl( 48 bowls total, 6 khao soi) for a grand total 304 baht. Keep in mind each 3 baht bowl is about a bite size with 2 small meat item. Truly a hidden gem.
The noodle soup is really only 3 baht. It's very simple, but very tasty for the price. You can eat your fill. It was originally made for students.
A normal adult can eat 8-10 bowls of rice noodle soup (kuaytiaw in Thai) with each bowl costing only $0.09?! Yes, you heard that right. This is a restaurant specializing in kuaytiaw in Chiang Mai, where each bowl costs 3 Thai Baht (equivalent to $0.09), which is why the restaurant is named "3 Baht Noodle Shop." The restaurant is quite spacious and airy. It is very clean. Most customers who come here are locals, with only a few being tourists, so the staff mainly communicates in Thai. However, they do have a small English menu for tourists. When placing an order, the staff will give you a piece of paper and a pen; you will write your order on the paper and hand it to the server. Tourists typically order a combo of 6 bowls with different flavors, such as beef noodle, pork noodle, etc. Since it only costs 3 Baht, the bowls are very small, so eating 8-10 bowls is completely normal. This is a unique and impressive way of selling, found only in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Really liked this place, very authentic and delicious small bowels. Packed full of families which is always a good sign. Definitely worth a return visit.
