UNFORGETTABLE Food Tour!!! Book this now! - THE BEST FREAKING FOOD TOUR! My husband and I booked this tour and learned so much! If you're someone who loves to cook or learn about influences on Thai culture/food, this IS the tour for you. Seriously! We tried things we wouldn't have known to try and learned about new dishes we now call our favorites. We live in SoCal and while there's great Thai food here, the spots they took us to were unmatched! Our tour guide Muay (sp?) was incredible. So knowledgeable, funny, and answered all our annoying questions. This was our favorite tour we did AND while we booked a completely separate Michelin walking tour, we ended up canceling that one because we had already tried the same dishes from this tour!
If you have limited time in Thailand, this is the tour to book if you're a foodie. You won't regret it! Thank you for making this an unforgettable experience for me and my husband! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Book this food tour! - We had a wonderful noon food tour with Moui who was very knowledgeable about the regional cuisine and how it was influenced by adjacent countries. She was also very sweet and thoughtful, just a really nice person.
We traveled from one stop to another by a songthaew which was great fun and tried at least 15 different dishes. We loved almost all of them! Our last stop was a local market where we were able to try unusual fruits and homemade snacks and sweets. One of the best food tours we have ever done!

Thoughtful, well paced tour - We had a great morning tour, thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried. We met our lovely guide at Wat Lok Moli then travelled by small red bus/taxi to each of our food destinations. We loved trying all of the Northern Thai and Shan dishes, from water buffalo laab to tea leaf salad, everything we tried was great. Lots of things to try and plentiful; so go with an empty stomach! Our guide was thoughtful, caring and had some great facts and stories to share. We really enjoyed her company and that of the other travellers on the tour (a lovely small group).
The highlight for us was the walk through the market, picking up tasty treats and having a picnic at the end trying everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour.

Perfect for foodies who want an authentic Thai food experience - Probably the best food tour I’ve ever been on. Amazing experience for those who are serious foodies that want to try authentic Thai food at places outside the old town that you’d never know about!! Not for picky eaters, and come HUNGRY! Muay was so lovely. We had a really awesome time! I will def be recommending to my friends

A Great introduction to northern Thai food - The tour was terrific and so was our guide, Moui. We had our own ‘red bus’ to drive us from place to place and we were told about local northern (Lanna) customs and lifestyle along the way, as well as the history of Thai food evolution (eg. frying was introduced by the Chinese). The food was great, especially the khoa soi(!), and I really liked that whatever we didn’t finish at each stop was given to our driver to take home (very responsible & thoughtful!). A wonderful experience!

Educational and yummy - Great education on the tour in Chiang Mai. Didn’t like all the foods but that’s my issue; and some of it was awesome. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
