Answer

Absolutely! Kids often enjoy Bua Loy, colourful rice balls served in sweet coconut milk. The vibrant colors and fun textures make it a hit.

• Another favourite is Khanom Chan, which is a layered coconut jelly. The layers are not only visually appealing but also fun to eat, making it a perfect treat for children.

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.
