Answer

• Local dishes in Chiang Mai are generally very affordable.

• Street food can range from 30 to 100 Thai Baht per dish.

• Dining in a casual restaurant may cost between 100 to 300 Baht per person.

• More upscale dining experiences can go from 300 Baht and upwards.

• Always check the menu for prices before ordering to avoid surprises.

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.
