Answer

• Yes, there are gluten-free traditional desserts available in Chiang Mai.

• Khao Niew Mamuang (sticky rice with mango) is a popular gluten-free option.

• Kanom Krok, made from rice flour and coconut milk, is also gluten-free.

• Bua Loy, which consists of rice balls in sweet coconut milk, is suitable for those avoiding gluten.

• Always check with vendors to confirm ingredients, as recipes can vary.

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.
