Santitham
Breakfast.

A broad, budget-friendly Thai and Western breakfast restaurant with strong public review evidence, house-made sourdough repeatedly mentioned by customers and a separate pizza identity on selected evenings.

Daytime hours07:00 to 15:00

Tuesday to Sunday across the strongest corroborated sources. Monday is consistently listed as closed.

Best-supported useBreakfast

The daytime menu and review history are better evidenced than the changing evening pizza schedule.

Research verdict

A strong neighbourhood shortlist, with one important caveat.

Santitham Breakfast looks most convincing as an affordable, relaxed place where a group can choose across Thai breakfast, noodles, rice dishes and recognisable Western plates. The depth of review evidence is unusually strong for a neighbourhood restaurant, and positive themes recur across several platforms rather than appearing in one isolated review.

The caveat is consistency and changing service information. Some customers describe ordinary rather than exceptional individual dishes, and third-party listings disagree on which evenings the pizza oven operates. Go for the breadth, value and informal setting. If pizza is the purpose of the trip, confirm the same day through the business's Facebook profile.

Best forMixed breakfast preferences, a casual meal in Santitham and visitors assessing the neighbourhood at morning pace.

What the evidence says

Reasons to go, and reasons to keep expectations measured.

These are recurring themes from current public listings and recent customer accounts. They are not presented as first-hand tasting notes.

01 / Strength

Useful menu breadth

Rice porridge, rice soup, noodles, pad Thai, egg dishes, toast and Western breakfast plates appear repeatedly across menu photographs and customer accounts.

02 / Strength

Sourdough has a following

Recent reviews repeatedly single out the toast or house-made sourdough, making it a more defensible signature than a generic claim that everything is outstanding.

03 / Strength

Value and atmosphere

Reviewers commonly describe fair prices, friendly service and a casual open-sided dining space with enough tables for an ordinary weekday breakfast.

04 / Caveat

Dish execution varies

Specific criticism includes a bland salmon-and-eggs plate, watery porridge, hard rather than crisp pork and, in an older pizza review, uneven baking between two orders.

05 / Caveat

It is not a Northern Thai specialist

One recent reviewer explicitly noted the absence of Northern Thai dishes despite the Chiang Mai location. The menu is broad, but breadth is not the same as regional specialism.

06 / Caveat

Evening hours conflict

Sources variously show Saturday only, Friday and Saturday, or Thursday to Saturday for pizza. Treat every evening schedule as provisional until the restaurant confirms it.

What appears on the menu

Three reasons people use the restaurant.

Archived menus and customer evidence support these categories, but individual dishes and prices can change. Check the current menu on arrival.

01

Thai and Asian breakfast

Rice porridge and rice soup with selectable toppings, noodle soups, pork bone soup, fried rice, pad Thai, dumplings and simple rice dishes.

Good fit when one table wants something more local than eggs and toast.
02

Western breakfast

Full breakfast combinations, omelettes, poached or scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, hash browns, toast, French toast, fruit and coffee.

The range is a recurring strength; customer comments on individual execution are mixed.
03

Pizza evenings

Wood-fired or charcoal-oven pizza is a distinct evening offer, with sourdough and Neapolitan-style characteristics mentioned by customers. Gnocchi has also appeared in recent accounts.

A February 2026 review reported THB 330 for a whole pizza. Treat that as dated evidence, not a guaranteed current price.

The rating in context

High average, useful distribution.

A current mirror of the Google listing showed 972 ratings: 718 five-star, 187 four-star, 53 three-star, 8 two-star and 6 one-star. That produces the displayed 4.6 average, but it does not prove every dish or visit will match the majority view.

Location

Daytime opening

Tuesday to Sunday

07:00 to 15:00 is the most consistently corroborated schedule. Monday is listed as closed. Public-holiday hours may differ.

Check the official profile ↗
Evening pizza

Confirm before travelling

Current sources conflict. Saturday evening appears on the latest Google-derived listing, while other recent sources mention Friday and Saturday or Thursday to Saturday, usually around 16:30 to 21:00.

Phone numbers

Listings disagree

Current public directories show +66 80 968 0716, +66 64 423 5199 and +66 80 493 5157. Because no single number could be confirmed through the official profile, use Maps or Facebook first.

Payment and price

Take cash

Several listings report cash-only payment and budget pricing. Restaurant Guru currently shows THB 1 to 200 per person, while pizza is priced separately and can exceed that band.

Facilities and access

Ask if access is essential

Third-party listings mention Wi-Fi, takeaway, delivery and booking, but one also marks the venue as not wheelchair accessible. None of these details was independently confirmed with the business.

For a relocation-scouting trip

Use breakfast to test Santitham at its normal pace.

The restaurant's breadth makes it useful when comparing how easily different food preferences can coexist in the neighbourhood. Visit on an ordinary weekday, then walk the surrounding streets and test the route to a possible home, coworking space, hospital or supermarket.

Do not infer the whole Chiang Mai dining scene from one popular restaurant. Santitham Breakfast is evidence that the area supports an inexpensive mix of Thai and familiar international food. It is not evidence that every cuisine, dietary requirement or late-evening routine will be equally easy.
