Food in Chiang Mai
A variety of establishments in the city of Chiang Mai can surprise even real gourmets. It seems that there can only be more restaurants in Bangkok. In Chiang Mai, you can try many traditional dishes popular in northern Thailand.
It is worth paying attention to yellow wheat noodles, which are cooked exclusively in curry broth. Such a dish received an interesting name Khao Soi. A decoction for it is made in the classic version on beef or chicken. If you don’t like such options for the broth, then the locals are always ready to offer a dish made for vegetarians or, for example, seafood.
Another pride of the local cuisine is Hang Lei - fragrant pork, also with curry sauce. If you are tired of rice, classic noodles in all dishes, then go to some restaurant with international cuisine. Fortunately, there are enough of them in Chiang Mai.
You can grab a bite of burgers, Italian specialties or even pies at an affordable price. In restaurants located in Chiang Mai, you will find dishes from almost all nations. In the city, thanks to expatriates, other people's traditions are honored along with their own.
Here Western cuisine exists alongside Thai cuisine. You can easily find Italian, British, Australian and German establishments. It is safe to say that Chiang Mai is the only place of its kind in Thailand where foreign and traditional cuisines coexist perfectly.
