At Chiangmai Thai Restaurant

The northern city of Chiang Mai is considered Thailand's cultural capital, while also sitting near some of the country's top natural attractions, most within an hour or two's drive of the Old Town.

But everyone knows that. Less celebrated are all those Chiang Mai street stalls and shophouses hawking incredible northern Thai cuisine and snacks, delicious enough to lure Bangkokians 700 kilometers north for a bite.
