Rediscover lost Northern Thai recipes in a historic house

Travel through Chiang Mai’s culinary past in a 150-year-old wooden Lanna house. I’ll introduce you to rare recipes known to only a few Chiang Saen descendants, including Hang Lay, a unique variation distinct from the Burmese-influenced version, and Kaeng Khai, a simple dish once popular in old Chiang Mai. • Learn the history behind Chiang Saen cuisine and how authentic Northern Thai recipes are disappearing. We’ll explore the cultural roots of dishes like Hang Lay and Kaeng Khai, tracing their journey through generations. • Get hands-on with the ingredients and techniques that define Chiang Saen’s flavors. You’ll prepare and cook traditional dishes, uncovering the secrets behind their unique tastes and variations. • Savor your creations as we sit down to enjoy the food we’ve made together. This is a chance to ask questions, hear more stories, and connect through cooking and sharing a meal. Together, we’ll rediscover the flavors of the past and explore Northern Thailand’s rich culinary heritage.

Northern Flavours Chiang Mai Food Tour

Get your taste buds ready because there is nothing quite like Northern Thai cuisine. We limit our daily small-group street food tour to only 8 exclusive guests. We’ll bounce between 5-6 different spots using our own private songthaew red truck, gorging on 15+ different tastings from street food joints to local eateries. No other food tour has this many variety of tastings as us! We’ll delve into the history and food cultures of the North of the country. Try braised pork in five spices at a vendor once visited by Anthony Bourdain, visiting my favourite local spots, and we'll explore one of the best food markets in the city. You simply can’t visit Northern Thailand without trying the herby larb, sticky gaeng hang lay curry and legendary lemongrass sai oua sausage. Nor can you skip the tangy tea leaf salads, brought in during the two centuries of Burmese rule. Sold out? Ask us about our lunchtime 'Lanna Kingdom' tour also! **Special Diets: this tour is not suitable for vegetarians and pescatarians (sorry!), as you'll have to miss several dishes, with few alternatives available. If you don't eat pork, there will be 3-4 less tastings (out of 15 total). Gluten intolerances are ok but only if soy sauce can be consumed. Shrimp paste makes its way into many dishes, so severe shellfish allergies are not recommended. For any food allergies, please message us before booking**
