Answer
Chiang Mai is full of unique dining spots where you can enjoy authentic local flavors. One standout is the Night Bazaar, where you can sample street food like grilled meats, sticky rice, and fresh fruit shakes.
• For something different, try a traditional Khantoke dinner, where you can enjoy northern Thai dishes served on a low table while watching cultural performances.
• If you're feeling adventurous, look for restaurants offering cooking classes, combining a meal with a fun experience of learning to make your own Thai dishes.
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.
