Amid rising temperatures in Phitsanulok province, nothing soothes the body better than the dish "mango sticky rice." Again, but to truly enjoy premium-level flavor, head straight to Ekathat Road near Ban Kaek intersection, where Charoenporn 2 is located.This is a standout sticky rice shopgaining popularity by preserving deliciousness passed down through generations.
The shop's appeal began with an unusual transformation; it was once a famous eyeglasses store, but with the masterful sweet-making skills of the owner’s mother, who opened a sticky rice shop alongside it, the fragrant richness of the coconut milk won the hearts of the entire town and remains beloved today. Best Theerawut Phatipipat, a 28-year-old heir, has fully taken on the role of continuing this legacy of deliciousness.
The key that sets Charoenporn 2’s sticky rice apart is the use of coconut milk from Thap Sakae, Thailand’s premier source of cashew nuts and coconuts, which is freshly pressed and used to cook the high-quality sticky rice, creating a perfectly balanced "sweet meets salty" flavor. The sticky rice has a soft, chewy texture without being soggy and a glossy, appetizing appearance.
Even more exceptional when paired with Phitsanulok’s Golden Nam Dok Mai mango, a product registered as a geographical indication (GI) since 2023, offering an unparalleled eating experience. This mango variety is uniquely characterized by its dense, deep yellow flesh, fiber-free texture, thin seed, and rich sweet aroma. Typically reserved for premium export grades, Charoenporn 2 serves it fresh year-round to delight locals.
Despite using export-quality ingredients and specially selected coconut milk, prices remain surprisingly affordable. Sticky rice is sold at just 180 baht per kilogram (or 20 baht per 100 grams for sampling).
The championship-grade Golden Nam Dok Mai mango is priced at only 120 baht per kilogram. Combined, the mango sticky rice set costs 120 baht, ready to enjoy immediately.
Additionally, classic menu options are available for those who prefer traditional Thai flavors, such as sticky rice topped with dried fish, shrimp, or custard, each priced affordably at 30 baht per box.
