A Journey Trough Thailand Part 4, Chiang Mai Food

A blog from Thailand without food, is not blog at all. It’s almost impossible not too talk about food in Thailand. Everywhere you walk there is fragrant food stalls of yummy street food. And there are many day markets, night markets and restaurants. So this blog cannot be any different. At the bottom I will list my favorite food related locations in Chiang Mai.

Siri-wattana Market (Tha-nin Market):

Every color of fruit and deserts you can imagine

Pork Rinds anyone?

Yumm, deep fried larvae and crickets

Now this where i draw the line of experimenting haha.

Street Food and local restaurants
Some of these are mobile snaps, but had to include them (I need a better phone)

Spicy pork rinds and beef :)

Who Loves crab?

This ended up being my favorite quick market snack. Quail eggs sprinkled with some salty fish sauce. Yum

Spicy Pad Kraphao with duck egg from the Langmor night market. One of my favorites

Spicy green papaya salad and crispy pork, can it get any better?

Thai red curry fish cakes.

Crispy pork and morning glory stir fry

Spicy northern thai Sausage (Sai oua) , one of my absolute favorites.

Love these egg wrapped salad rolls with the spicy green sauce.

Proper fried chicken. No thick KFC batter here :)

My favorite places:

Night Markets (street food)

Langmor Night market. - My absolute favorite night market. Its a bit outside the old city, but worth the trip. Also cheap, they cater mainly to students.
Chang Phuak Market - Small night market next to Chang Phuak Gate. Famous for the cowgirl Stewed pork leg (Which is also yummy). Also a lady there that has very nice curries.
There is also the Saturday and Sunday walking streets. Very tourist oriented, but worth at least one visit.

Day/Morning Markets

Siri-wattana Market (Tha-nin Market), just ouside the city center. (See images above). Great market for fresh fruits, vegetables and snack. There is also a small food court next to it.
Mae Hia Fresh Market, A bit furrther from the city center. 10-15 minutes with car. Known for having very good Northern Thai Sausage (Sai Oua), highly recommend the trip there.

Restaurants
Hoi Khaa Rim Ping noodles, one of my favorite lunch spots
Guay Jub Chang Moi Tat Mai Best soup in town (Only Lunch)

ราชประสงค์ Classic and spicy Thai food where locals eat

Sorn Chan Tiny family resturant, small selection of delicious food. Best Northern Thai Sausage I’ve had.

ร้านตำยำช้างเผือก Very good green Papaya Salad. Spicyyyyyy
