Town market - if you wake up early enough, catch the early morning stalls selling Thai and Burmese breakfast snacks. At midday the market winds down but there are plenty of stalls selling cheap and tasty Thai food at the top of the hill, opposite the bus station, providing cheap food most days, but reportedly not open at weekends.
Burmese Inn - About 800m down the hill on the right-hand side down Soi 1. A simple menu with reasonable prices, but a good standard of Western, Thai and Burmese food.
Jimmy's House - Run by 'Big Jimmy' Opposite the temple on the Thai side of the bridge 50 metres further on than Burmese Inn. Good selection of delicious Western, Burmese & Thai food. Also sells & trades books. A good source of local information.
Baan Unrak Bakery - Also on the main guest house road, just after the temple, on the left. The bakery has some tasty cookies and also cakes and breads. The restaurant serves coffees, teas and some simple Thai and Western food and has free Wi-Fi. There's also a bookshop.
Wangka Village - there are countless cafes and restaurants in the Mon village. "Guuteeoh" noodle soup is a popular local dish.
P Guest House - good menu of local and foreign dishes, reasonably priced at 50-80 baht for main meals. Head south from Post Office past Temple and Baan Unrak Bakery. Exquisite view across lake to chedi. Recommended for a sunset dinner.
Toy's restuarant-affordable price for Thai food with a friendly owner "Aoom" (prices start from 25 baht)
