Led by our expert local guides, you’ll dive into Chiang Mai’s food scene like never before.
Start your morning like a local with a classic Thai breakfast—sticky rice, expertly grilled in a fragrant banana leaf.
Then, prepare to savor the flavors of authentic Chicken Satay paired with its iconic, creamy peanut sauce. Try it and tell us if it rivals Bangkok’s version!
Next dive into the bold and vibrant world of Northern Thai cuisine! Relish a richly spiced Larb Moo (a zesty pork salad) and Sai Ua, the famous Northern Thai sausage—each bite a powerful explosion of flavor that will elevate your experience. In the meantime refresh with a natural Lemongrass Juice.
Savor Chiang Mai’s signature dish, Khao Soi—silky coconut curry noodles, served in an unforgettable setting. Pair it with stir-fried Morning Glory and a Chilled Thai Tea.
Cool off with a vegan butterfly pea ice cream paired with delicate rice balls floating in creamy coconut milk.
Oh, and don’t forget our Secret Dish!

Interesting and fun!

5.00We were met on time at the stated meeting point by our guide Nicha, and enjoyed a really interesting tour with lots of different types of food and drink, with not too much walking (which was appreciated as we were not used to lots of walking in the heat, coming from the UK!). We learned a lot about other parts of Thai culture too. Fantastic and highly recommended!
Great food tour!

5.00We had an incredible time - we had the opportunity to try some amazingly delicious food and our guide Warat was really information and sooo friendly! There was only my husband and I on the tour and Warat answered all our questions about the food and Chiang Mai - this was our first time to Chiang Mai but it certainly won't be out last. Oh, and this was our 3rd Secret Food tour (the others were in Melbourne and KL) - I would highly recommend them!
Great food tour!

5.00The tour was great - A large selection of foods and generous portions! Nicha was an excellent guide. She knows Chiang Mai well and had lots of great suggestions for sites to see, best places to get Khao Soi, places to shop and a spa recommendation! I would definitely recommend this tour. No need to book in advance…it doesn’t seem to fill up and there is a no refund policy.
Brilliant food and amazing guide!

5.00Absolutely wonderful! Our guide Varisa was so friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us little places along the way (pointing out temples and museums to visit later) and explained all the dishes so well. The food was fantastic and it was so nice to try Chiang Mai and northern Thai specialties. Would absolutely recommend!
Disappointing

2.00We only went to five stops, not ten. Guide did not tell us about culture, history, locations. Only really spoke when answering our questions.

5.00Our guide was very lovely and friendly and knowledgeable. She adjusted well to having just two of us on the tour. She shared lots of information about the area, Northern Food, and living in Chiang Mai. We tasted many delicious local dishes in 5 different venues. Highly recommended.
Worth every penny😁

5.00This is a fantastic tour and great way to try a wide variety of delicious food! Varisa is a wonderful guide - friendly, helpful and a lot of fun! As a bonus, she offered suggestions on other things I should do/places to shop while in Chiang Mai. This was much appreciated. This was my 3rd time going on a Secret Food tour (also did them in Tokyo and Hanoi) and I will continue to seek them out on my travels. They are consistently a great company to work with and offer a well thought out and yummy tour!
