Hotels and Restaurants

A traveller staying at a Chiang Mai hotel – the likes of Anantara Chiang Mai Resort – is invariably treated to the delights of the domestic cuisine; international cuisines are available too if you’d rather stick to what you are used to.

Street Food

Chiang Mai streets are lined with small stalls selling a variety of Thai food. If you’ve had your fill of refined dining, the roadside food vendors in the city will offer you just what you need – Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and Khai Jiao are a few dishes you can enjoy at the streets of Chiang Mai.
