Where to Eat Thai Desserts in Chiang Mai

Thai “Desserts” Let’s start this out by addressing a Thai culinary distinction from most Western cuisines. The line between dinner and dessert is a blurry one, namely in levels of sweetness. Thai food… most Thai food that is, encompasses the full scope of a flavor pallet. As such, sugar is less thought of here as… Read More

Kad Muang Mai (Muang Mai Market)

For better or worse Chiang Mai is changing with the times. There are hipster coffee shops around every corner. The shadows of malls cast over rice fields that were once their foundations. As the years roll on, the East is slowly starting to head west. However, Muang Mai Market seems be staying true, regardless of… Read More

Where to Eat the Best Khao Soi in Chiang Mai

Khao soi is by far and away the most well known dish in Chiang Mai. This old northern capitol is the only kind of place where something like this could be created. A dish shaped by different cultures, trade, wealth, and refinement. In Thai, khao soi translates to “cut rice”. This is in reference to… Read More

Warorot (Kad Luang) Night Market

Warorot Market or Gad Luang (Big Market is Northern Thai) is more than meets the eye. A place so large and diverse that it would take many hours if not days to fully explore. The area actually houses a few distinct markets, the main one being Warorot. Across the one way street filled with tuk… Read More

Best Snacks From A Thailand 7/11

There are few buildings more prevalent or iconic in Thailand than 7/11. We’ve all found ourselves desperate and hungry, roasting under the hot Thai sun, and in arms reach of a bountiful assortment of noodle stalls, sizzling street-side stir-fries, and pounded pots piled with som tam. And… we have all decided to pass up on… Read More

Siri Wattana (Tanin) Market

It was unfortunate that it took as long as it did for Siri Wattana (Tanin) Market to come come on my radar. I was still enthralled by the markets at Chang Phuak and Chiang Mai Gate the first time I made that left turn off the 107. Not to say these markets are bad, they are far from… Read More

Khao Soi Lam Duan Fa Ham

There is by no means a shortage of khao soi available in Chaing Mai, unfortunately not all of it’s good. This is a real shame on account of most of the khao soi sold outside the northern half of this great country is already “meh”. I’m not talking Seattle or London here, you’d be hard… Read More

Chang Phuak Gate Night Market

So, I know I recently wrote about how Chiang Mai Gate Night Market was the best place to experience Thai food for the out of towner, but Chang Phuak Gate Market gives it a run for its money. Not nearly as big and equal distance from Zoe or Spicy, this little market has some big… Read More

Super Soup

Ordering noodles in this country is easy to do but hard to do right. If you can’t speak Thai you’re either stuck with the “point and pray” method, or ordering off menus with pictures. Both acceptable choices but it limits the potential for your meal. You may not know what goodies are hidden amongst the… Read More

Lava Bread

Sometimes one culture sees what another is doing, takes note, and improves it. The Japanese and their Yōshoku come to mind, and being the burrito eating American I am so does Tex-Mex. While both of these are on offer in Chiang Mai, I want the Thai take on what things need improving. I want lava… Read More

Tom Yum Kung / Pork Bone Soup

There are very few meals in my life where I’ve immediately ordered a second serving after finishing my first. My introduction to Tom Yum Kung was one of those meals. Not just any Tom Yum Kung, but the Bangkok famous version they sell at P’Aoer. They do the more contemporary style of Tom Yum with… Read More

Khao Soi Mae Manee

Often overlooked, beef can be just as good as the ubiquitous chicken when accompanying the absurdly complex and delicious dish of khao soi. In my opinion, no place does it better than Khao Soi Mae Manee, expect maybe Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kaat Gorm. This is your classic Thai noodle spot. There isn’t much in… Read More
