About this experience
Wake up hungry and step into Chiang Mai’s food scene on a Michelin Guide street food adventure. You will meet your expert guide at Wat Saen Fang and ease into a brunch flow for 10:00 AM.
Start with Warorot Market and Old City lanes to understand how food, family, and culture shape Chiang Mai’s daily rhythm. Your guide handles ordering and timing, while sharing the stories, neighborhoods, and local ways behind each dish.
Along the way, enjoy 3 rare Michelin Bib Gourmand–selected dishes, each chosen for its signature flavors and deep local roots. You’ll visit family-run eateries that have earned Michelin recognition not for fancy decor, but for recipes perfected over generations. Silky hand-steamed dumplings, bold pink Hakka noodles, and Pa Thong Ko Ko Neng that locals happily queue for.
Expect an easy small group walk and local insight into the people behind the food. By the end, you will have tasted Chiang Mai like an insider and carried home a full belly and morning memory.
