STREET FOOD · CHIANG MAI STREET FOOD TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 street food tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you turn up hungry.
Start with hotel pickup, then follow a guide such as Goal, Jay, Chai, or Mr T through Chiang Mai restaurants and two evening markets. You’ll sample roughly 18 to 20 dishes, learn food phrases in Thai, and ride a shared songthaew. The group is limited to eight, but vegetarian choices are limited.
“Amazing time with our guide! Knowledgeable, efficient and very personable! We tried so many new foods!”
Meet your Thai-English guide, often Jay, Goal, or Chai, at your Chiang Mai hotel and visit two or more evening markets. Learn to order in Thai while tasting noodles, northern dishes, stewed pork leg, coconut dumplings, sweets, and plenty more in a small group of up to 10.
“This tour is a food adventure. Jay looked after us very well. Lots of food to eat, a great variety including desserts, we tasted well over 10 different dishes. Highly recommended”
Spend about three hours eating your way through Chiang Mai with a private local host. Expect 10 food and drink tastings, temple stops, city sights, and a route shaped around your tastes. Guides such as May, Tanya, Eddie, and Mae have tailored dishes for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
“It was great! I am gluten free and the guide Mai helped me make adjustments to the menu. We got to ask all of our questions and tried some amazing food! Great experience for our first day in Chiang Mai”
Follow an English or Thai-speaking TripGuru guide through Chiang Mai’s food markets, sampling steamed dumplings, pa thong ko, mango sticky rice, and Hakka noodles. Guides such as Koi, Nom, Patty, and Banana are praised for helpful explanations, though afternoon departures may require alternate food stops.
“Tour guide was fantastic and the food spots were epic...a lunchtime/afternoon well spent!”
Join Natt or another local English-speaking guide for three Michelin Guide selected dishes in Chiang Mai. The lunch route visits Warorot Market and includes Hakka pink noodles, fried dough, and steamed rice skin dumplings. Dinner offers khao soi, roast chicken, and papaya salad.
“Superb guide (the owner of the company), has a Master's Degree & has in depth knowledge of Thailand's history & food culture. He comes from a famous restaurant family in Bangkok & attended graduate school in CHiang Mai. Special experience. Don't miss it.”
Meet at the Three Kings Monument at 9am or Warorot Market at 4pm for a four-hour food walk with local guides such as PT, Sky, or Pondtip. Expect Kao Man Gai, Khao Soi, Northern Thai sausage, mango sticky rice, market snacks, temples, and private transport between stops.
“Excellent tour! Our guide, PT, was friendly and fun. We ate so much delicious food and enjoyed learning more about the Northern Thai culture. Highly recommend this tour!”
