Restaurants and Dining in Chiang Mai - Thailand Travel Guide

Restaurants and Dining in Chiang Mai

One of the highlights of your stay in Thailand will be the excellent and delicious food.

Thai cuisine is increasingly regarded as one of the best and healthiest in the world, and rightly so.

Since literally everything can be grown in Thailand, a country that stretches almost two thousand kilometers from north to south and thus provides some variation in climate, ingredients of incredible variety have been introduced into Thai cooking over the centuries

While plants that prefer colder weather like strawberries, apples and carrots grow in the Himalayan foothills of Northern Thailand, the whole variety of true tropical fruits are cultivated at lower altitudes all over the country. The tropical sea of Thailand is home to delectable and healthy fish and seafood while all kinds of meat and poultry are available.

Chiang Mai is a true heaven for gourmets. Not only is the food superb and cheap, many restaurants also offer a unique banyaagaat (atmosphere) in elegant and tranquil settings, something that Thai patrons cherish almost as much as the cooking.

Some eateries are in fact wooden teak villas which may be situated by the banks of the Ping River or in a shady grove in tropical vegetation.
