• Most local cafés offer meals ranging from 50 to 150 Thai Baht.

• Street food options can be even cheaper, often around 30 to 50 Baht.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues. Prices and fares change, so request the current amount before committing.
