A fun, educational and delicious food experience! - We spent 3 hours with Mae (Purichat). Initially I thought we’d be walking the whole time, but thankfully she drives a nice air conditioned vehicle. We’ve always liked Thai Food but this was a next level experience. She took us to small local eateries and we sampled just the most amazing food at each stop. Her personality is very pleasant and her English was excellent. One of the highlights was going to a very large local “Farmers Market” l called “Tanin Market”. She bought many unusual, interesting and delicious items and then prepared a wonderful lunch to end the day.

Outstanding Thai cuisine and VIP experience - I had a great time with May and our food tour is a favorite! We completely avoided any tourist traps and are at authentic Thai restaurants and markets (no tourists, and nothing in English).
The food was sooo good, and May taught me a lot about Thai cuisine. She was also quick to adjust our plans based on what I’ve already tried or had interest in trying. She shows real energy and desire to make sure I had a great experience.
Thank you May!

Fantastic tour with Ae - We absolutely loved our evening with Ae. We got to try sooooo many different types of food and loved how it varied from street food to restaurants and walking to tuk Tuks throughout the evening. We were definitely full after the trip and got to take plenty of snacks home with us. She was really accommodating to being vegan and other dietary requirements

Ask for Tanya - Tanya was a fun guide and brought us to great food experiences. She knew her way around the market and other areas of Chiang Mai. She has cultivated a fabulous network of food vendors and was able to bring us to some amazing out of the way places.

Chiang Mai Food Tour with Aei - Our spontaneous decision to book the 10 tastings of Chiang Mai food tour with Aei turned out to be an excellent choice. Despite our last-minute booking, Aei was accommodating and took us on a delightful culinary adventure through her favorite spots in Chiang Mai. Her friendliness, knowledge, and consideration for our family made the experience unforgettable. Not only did we savor delicious street food, but we also gained insights into the history and culture of old town Chiang Mai. Aei's exceptional hosting made our evening truly memorable, and we wholeheartedly recommend her tour to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent tour with May - We spent a marvelous few hours with May. She took us all over, finding the best of everything, and she was able to customize the tour to accommodate both a vegetarian (me) and a carnivore (my husband). The food was fresh and amazing. It was definitely a highlight of our visit to Chiang Mai, and we would highly recommend it!

Delicious fun! - This tour really exceeded my expectations! We went on it with May/Purichat, and she was so accommodating to us as vegetarians. The small (and rather obscure) place she introduced to us had seriously great food, from a vegan Khao Soi to really delicious tea leaf salad I've never had before.
She also took us through the pretty overwhelming Sunday walking market as well as to Chinatown and a hidden riverside bar, and it was a lot of fun seeing all the snacks avaliable. I thought it would mostly be an eating tour, but we actually toured a lot of the city and saw much more than I thought!
Definitely come with empty stomachs if you do this, though - we did and got completely stuffed regardless.
