Experience Food Tours in Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"We had such a lovely day with May! She was warm and welcoming right from the start of our tour. I’m vegan so she made sure that I got to experience incredible traditional foods, but without meat, dairy or eggs. My friend isn’t vegan and was totally catered to as well! We visited popular restaurants, traditional places, a massive market and even had time for a temple!! We talked like old friends and learned so much about the food, history and culture of Chiang Mai and Thailand as a whole. We did this tour on our first full day in Chiang Mai and it was a huge help with allowing us to get our bearings for the town, and know what (and how) to order during the rest of our stay. Do not hesitate to book this experience (and May)! It was indeed one of the major highlights of our holiday! Thank you, May!!! 🙏🏻"

"Eddie went to great lengths to make our experience local, unique, and special. This tour went way beyond our expectations- we had delicious authentic food exactly where the locals were eating, saw historical landmarks, and participated in a traditional lantern hanging cultural activity. Thanks again Eddie!"

"Sawitchaya (“May”) was a pleasure full of enthusiasm and smiles. She showed us some of her favorite places in obscure locations that we would never have found. The variety and quality of food was excellent. We can highly recommend this tour. "

"May (Purichat) gave us a diverse tasting of different traditional meals. Without her, we would have been too shy to try some dishes. She arranges the dishes to you tasting palette. It's also fun that she tells some things about the city and costums. We absolutely had a lovely evening with May! She has a lot of knowledge, shows the more tradional markets and restaurants, and has a great sense of humour. Tip: go with an empty belly because there is so much good food! Thank you so much May! 🙏🍀"

"Ann offered us a great tour on our first night in Chiang Mai. She took us around the city both to established local restaurants and markets to try the best of Northern Thai cuisine. She always made sure we were hydrated, taught us how to order and local etiquette, and made sure we tried things outside our comfort zone. Everything was great! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to sample all the hits of Chiang Mai."

"We had the most incredible food tour in Chiang Mai with May exploring off-the-beaten-path gems — small, family-owned establishments and lively local markets that we never would have found on our own. The variety was outstanding, the food plentiful and every bite was absolutely delicious. Our guide, May, was simply wonderful. She’s genuine, warm, funny, accommodating, and so sweet. Her passion for the food and the Thai culture made the whole experience feel so personal and welcoming. We loved how she introduced us not just to flavors, but also to the stories behind the dishes, vendors and the families who make them. If you’re visiting Chiang Mai and want an authentic, flavorful adventure, this tour with May is a must!"

"Uthaiwan was a great guide, she knew the area extremely well. She was knowledgeable and introduced us to some interesting culinary experiences plus gave us facts on a variety of topics ranging from history, to religion and of course food. She tailored our experience to cater for dietary requirements and our specific food preferences. We had loads of fun and really enjoyed our tour with her. Highly, highly recommended "
