Overview

Calling all foodies. Want to discover what real Northern Thai cuisine is all about? Forget the tourist markets and hop onboard our daily small-group adventure limited to just 8 exclusive guests. Over 4 hours you'll ride around Chiang Mai in a classic rod daeng truck in search of the best hidden eats in the city from small hole-in-the-wall joints to bustling indoor food markets. While sampling over 15 different tastes of Northern Thai food, your guide will help you understand the region's flavors and the history which has impacted on its dishes. Get stuck into the best sai oua sausage in town, slurp on delicious 'nam ngiaw' noodles and gobble up refreshing tea and tamarind leaf salads not found anywhere else in Chiang Mai.

Stop At: Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai

Don’t follow the herd. Forget green curry and pad Thai, that's central Thai fare. Hop on board our private songthaew truck for four hours of feasting. Hit up the street eats and fresh markets across the city gorging on 15+ Northern Thai tastings. Many are unaware that this used to be the Lanna Kingdom well before it was part of Thailand and its food influences come from neighbouring Myanmar, China and beyond. We don't want to spoil the surprise, but some drool-worthy highlights include the zingy nam ngiaw noodles, the meaty larb salads, the sizzling lemongrass sai oua sausages and piquant nam prik relishes among many more lip-smackingly good tastings at places you'd struggle to find alone.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai

The tour concludes at the local Wararot Market along the Ping River. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Thailand.

Amazing tour— all the stops were top notch, and they were local-filled places that we would likely not have gone to on our own. Our guide Kung was awesome. Highly recommended.

Nothing is more enjoyable than a great food tour. We just returned from a six week Southeast Asia journey and enjoyed several food tours. A Chef’s Tour in Chiangmai Mai did not disappoint and perhaps one of the best we experienced. No I was a wonderful guide and should be commended. She walked us through a “local” food market explaining Thai fruits, vegetables, meats and baked goods. Meanwhile, she collected items along the way for our dining pleasure. We passed on the crunchy bugs! Haha We loved the transportation aboard a red truck “songthaew” from restaurant stop to stop. We dined on multiple dishes explained by Noi at every location. Northern Thai cuisine was on full display during this four hour tour. Advise: Arrive Hungry!

We had an awesome tome with our guide, Tree, who introduced us to over 20 specialties from Northern Thailand. He really brought us to unique locations, including the local food market, and went out of his way to make our experience as great as possible!

Excellent food tour. Sooo much food!! You have to be careful early on about not eating too much or you'll fill up. Lots of unique foods that I wouldn't have tried otherwise. As you get a small portion of each you're able to try a lot.

Probably the best food tour we have been on!! And we have been on a lot!! Moui our guide was wonderful. She provided much information about the foods, the history, the ingredients. So much food to sample. We couldn't believe the amount and the variety. And everything very flavorful and delicious. Moui also guided us through a market, purchased various foods and fruits and drinks, them we gathered around a table at the market and sampled everything. I truly feel like we were exposed to the many flavors of Chiang Mai and Thailand. Fantastic Food Tour and Moui was the best!!
