Best Things To Do in Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 Food, Markets & Local Experiences

Chiang Mai is one of our favourite cities in Thailand, and in this video we explore some of the best things to do, see, and eat while visiting. From taking a Thai cooking class and learning about northern Thai food, to wandering through local markets, eating our way through street food stalls, and trying iconic dishes like Khao Soi, Chiang Mai really surprised us. We visit popular markets like Chiang Mai Gate Market, Jing Jai Market, and Khlong Mae Kha Market, relax in some of the city’s chill cafes, and head slightly out of town for one of the best meals of the trip at Neng’s Clay Oven Roasted Pork. We also finish with a riverfront dinner at Samsen Villa, complete with live Thai music — and a reminder that in Thailand, spending more money doesn’t always mean better food. If you’re planning a trip to northern Thailand, we hope this video helps you build your Chiang Mai itinerary. 👍 If you enjoyed the video, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let us know your favourite Chiang Mai food in the comments! 0:00 – Intro: Arriving in Chiang Mai & episode overview 0:20 – Thai cooking class & market visit 0:55 – Cooking, woks & eating what we made 1:39 – Mango sticky rice & Thai milk tea 2:18 – Markets of Chiang Mai (Nimman, Coconut Market), 2:55 – Jing Jai Market and Khlong Mae Kha 3:48 – Chiang Mai Gate Market: street food must-do 5:00 – Iconic Chiang Mai dishes (chicken rice, fish ball noodles) 6:20 – Khao Soi & northern Thai food highlights 7:40 – Fresh coconuts & getting around by scooter 8:18 – Neng’s Clay Oven Roasted Pork 9:05 – Chill café vibes around Chiang Mai 9:33 – Samsen Villa riverfront dinner & honest take 10:45 – Final thoughts on Chiang Mai 10:56 – Outro & heading to Pai Follow us: Facebook:   / 1ckm2cqmmt   Instagram:   / travels_with_trouble
