Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a fantastic night with Naphat tasting the local food around Chiang Mai food markets. She even gave us great insight on Thai culture and the history of Chiang Mai. She answered all our general questions about Thailand. The food was better than any of the restaurants we had in Chiang Mai. Had very original Thai flavor. So flavorful and delicious! Trust her in the food she brings to you and you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much!!"
"The private food-tour with Sawitchaya in Chiang Mai exceeded my expectations by far. She picked the best local spots with authentic recipes, shared countless insights only a chef knows, was a wonderful host and such a great person. If you really wanna dive deep into the culinary scene of Chiang Mai like a local, this is your tour. Not just an activity, a true experience. 10/10"
"We had an incredible time with Naphat. We went to 2 markets and had 5 dishes between the two of us, all of them were incredible. She did an excellent job at explaining each dish to us, how to eat it the “Thai” way so we enjoy all the flavors, and even a bit about the history of Thailand and the people. We got to know her on a personal level which really elevated our experience. We’ve even texted after the food tour with recommendations. We feel like we now have a local friend in Chiang Mai that we can text/hang out with when we come back again! Would definitely recommend Naphat for your tour!!!"
"Wow, definitely recommend this tour if you are keen to discover the amazing variety of food on offer in Chiang Mai, warning … make sure to not eat anything before as you will try A LOT of food! We had discovered the city with May earlier and having chatted about the food we wished to try and some of the legendary food spots we had seen on social Media she had planned the perfect food tour, She expertly ferried us around in her car which also gave us a chance to see Chiang Mai at night. May took us to an amazing back street restaurant that specialises in Northern Thai dishes and showed us what to put with each dish and how to eat it. At my request we had stewed pork from the cowboy hat lady, clay pot cooked pork and chicken at Nengs and sweet treats at a night market of course finishing off with mango sticky rice. The most amazing evening. May was a delight to be with. If you love food and are adventurous definitely book this tour. "
"I had fun checking out the night markets with Naphat. She knows just the right spot to take you. The food was amazing and conversation stimulating!!! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!"
"Ann took us on a food market tour. She is highly knowledgable of the market area and gave us a spectacular tour savouring some of the BEST food Chiang Mai has to offer. There was so much food, we had to ask for smaller portions (we hate wasting food). The VALUE is exceptional. Remember to TIP generously, you are spending time with someone who is passionate about make your experience the BEST it can possibly be! She is very organized, shared history and was was professional, friendly and made the time together FUN! She should be considered an AMBASSADOR for Chiang Mai. She is available for several other tour options! She also drives which allows for tours beyond the city if that's on your agenda! If you want to enhance your Chiang Mai experience then, book Ann!! "
"Our street food tour with Purichat was amazing! She whisked us through the night markets like locals and made it so easy for us to try all of the hits. It was a highlight of our trip! "
"Our tour with Eddie was amazing! We went to a hidden gem of a market in a local location off the beaten path. The foods were all delicious and Eddie did a great job accommodating to our preferences (one vegetarian). Eddie was a great teacher and we learned so much from him. After so much food, we will be full for days!"
"Our family of 4 enjoyed a lot our tour with Purichat. She toured us around the local street food vendors & recommended some local places to us we would have never found ourselves and during our stay in Chiang Mai we went back to have dinner to one of the places (ซุปกระดูกแม่โจ้ สาขาประตูเชียงใหม่) to have the local Khao Soi and crispy pork. "
"The guide, Purichat who is also known as May, was a superb guide. She accommodated to our requests and ensured that the food was not overly spicy as we have children who is not able to take dishes that are too spicy. She shared Chiang Mai history and characteristic dishes found here."
