Chiang Mai food map เชียงใหม่
Chiang Mai is the capital of northern Thai (Lanna) food: khao soi curry noodles, spiced northern larb, sai oua sausage, nam prik ong and noodle soups you won’t find in Bangkok.
Our list starts with the khao soi shops and adds the city’s MICHELIN Bib Gourmand picks for good-value local cooking.
Each place opens in Google Maps; places with a KSR page link to it. Check opening hours before you go — many street-food stalls close one day a week or sell out early.
