Chiang Mai Food Tour

Chiang Mai is a city with a rich culinary heritage. From its bustling food markets to its unique northern Thai cuisine, Chiang Mai has something to offer for everyone. Our friends Tean and Chanda signed us up for a food walking tour - What a perfect way to explore the city’s unique flavors and aromas. On the walking and tasting tour, we had fun sampling some of Chiang Mai’s most beloved dishes.

1st stop: a shredded coconut like taco with a sweet marshmallow cream filling. Pretty tasty.

2nd stop: Craig and Chanda ordered pork rice noodle soups. The two bowls were quite large and enough for the four of us to share. The broth was rich and full of pork and citrus flavors. The fresh rich noodles were perfectly chewy and tender, and of course their was some heat from chilis!

3rd stop: We enjoyed some tasty garden rolls with prawns and crunchy veggies. The wrappers were more roti like vs rice paper in Vietnamese rolls. They were similar but different in use of herbs and the wrapper.

4th stop: In the center of a food market we sampled some excellent coconut crepes. The assembly line was cool! And I love all things coconuts!

5th stop: A colorful coconut and rice sweet snack wrapped in banana leaves. We were instructed to choose from three of the different colored snacks: green, white, and blue. We tried them all and they were delicious!!!

The food tour was an awesome way to try different things, eat with locals, and explore the different food markets in Chiang Mai!Read more
