Hop aboard our private songthaew truck and be whisked away to some of the city’s finest street eats and markets. Without giving too much away, anticipate savoring creamy khao soi curry with crispy noodles, chili jam, and pickled greens, spatchcocked chickens sizzling over hot charcoal paired with zesty som tum papaya salads and sticky rice, and lemongrass-stuffed sai oua sausages, among more than a dozen tastings you might not discover on your own.
- Chiang Mai - The tour wraps up in the fashionable Nimmanhaemin district, conveniently located near central hotels. Experience local hospitality and forge new friendships along the way. Conclude the tour equipped with the knowledge to continue enjoying street food throughout Thailand.

Chiang Mai - Personal, Historical, and Delicious in Every Bite - Genuinely my favorite part of my 2-week trip. Getting to see local spots that are hidden gems to the point where the restaurant names aren’t on the map. Getting to talk so in-depth about the history, culture, and ingredients of each food. Talking about the owners and their life stories about how they established their restaurants and their histories. Learning about the political history and what it means for that particular’s culture food and influence to be here and why. It was genuinely a surreal, beautiful, intimate, and delicious experience.

Highly recommend! - Food connects culture through the loving kindness of the guide and the people of the Chiang Mai food scene. We we're the only tourists in virtually every spot where we ate. Couldn't have asked for more!

Fantastic food tour! - Fantastic food tour! We visited 4 restaurants and a food market, and tasted at least 20 dishes & snacks. And they were all delicious! Our guide, Muay (I might be misspelling that), was great about explaining not just what we were eating, but the history behind the food. A great way to immerse yourself in the city and the culture. Definitely recommend!

⭐️ 10 Stars for this memory making food tour ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - If you want to get off the beaten path, book this unique experience as part of your visit to Chiang Mai! Every stop on this tour introduces you to authentic regional Thai foods using ingredients that you won't find in other parts of the country or world. Our guide (Moui) also provided valuable cultural context to understand the origins for the dishes we enjoyed. From unique cooking techniques, multi-generational restaurant spots and a delightful assortment of dishes, you will find lots to love about this food tour!

It was well organized and featured authentic, local, well established restaurants featuring foods unique to Northern Thailand. Our guide was helpful, informative and spoke fluent English. This is our second tour with this company and we greatly enjoyed them both.

Fantastic tour with Aim - so much amazing food! - We did the tour with Aim. She took us to so many amazing spots, there was so much food. Lots of different specialties that we haven’t had before. Going around in the red truck with a driver means you get to try loads of spots. Aim was really knowledgable and taught us about the history of the area and also lots about the food itself. We had some of the best food we’d had all trip! Highly recommend!
