About this activity

Explore Chiang Mai's nocturnal food scene on a guided 4-hour walking tour led by a local foodie, sampling authentic northern Thai street food across markets, alleyways, and famous food streets. This intimate experience reveals the culinary traditions and hidden gems that make Chiang Mai Thailand's gastronomic heartland.

The Private Chiang Mai Evening "Street Food" Walking Tour is an immersive culinary journey through the bustling streets of Chiang Mai. As the sun sets, you'll explore the vibrant night markets and discover the rich flavors of northern Thai cuisine. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll get to sample a wide variety of delicious street food.

Follow a route that will take you to two evening food markets, where you will try a wide variety of dishes, from kannon jin (Chinese noodles) to northern Thai speciliaities, coconut dumplings, stewed pork leg, and if you still some space, finishing with some of Thailand's distinctive desserts and sweets.

With a small group and an experienced guide, you'll have plenty of time to ask questions about unfamiliar foods, ingredients and how to eat some of Thailand's more exotic dishes as well as learn about the role of certain dishes in Thai culture.
