This place which is a short walk out of town used to be called Plernpai and I loved it. I was sad to see that they had rebranded themselves but was excited to try out the new style. It is under the same ownership but has now changed to only selling smoothie bowls and pancakes.
​
This might sound disappointing as their menu is obviously much more limited now with only six dishes on offer. However, these smoothie bowls literally are so damn good that you should prepare to be mind-blown. I'm a big smoothie bowl fan but nothing I have ever tried before compares to the Snickers Bowl that they serve here. It is a thick, creamy bowl with layers of dark chocolate, peanut butter, blended banana, sliced banana, museli, dried fruits and other lush things. It's sweet, gooey and heavenly. Just this dish alone makes the place awesome.
Other dishes include three more variations of smoothie bowls which are all equally delicious, filling, healthy and generous portions. They also offer two pancake dishes and a range of drinks such as teas and coffees, with non-dairy milk since they are completely vegan.
To find it, you should walk through the town towards the bridge and the temple going away from the main road and direction of Chiang Mai. After the bridge and Don’t Cry bar, you will see a left hand turn going up towards Pai Circus school. Take this left hand turning and Plernpai is just up on the left hand side. It is a short walk.
Becca and Om are very welcoming and are lovely people to talk to. The cafe is small but is very cosy and homely. They also have some cute, friendly dogs to play with who were also just as welcoming on my visit.

I shall be dreaming about coming back to Pai and eating the Snickers Bowl again....
