About the city of Chiang Mai: Your comprehensive guide

Nestled in the heart of northern Thailand, this city is a captivating blend of ancient history and modern charm.

Here, culture and nature merge seamlessly, offering lush landscapes and vibrant street markets. As you explore, the scent of local delicacies fills the air, inviting you to indulge in the rich flavors of traditional northern Thai cuisine. A visit here promises an unforgettable journey through a land of timeless beauty and culinary delights.

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Chiang Mai, known as the culinary capital of northern Thailand, offers a plethora of dishes that are a must-try for any food enthusiast.

Khao Soi is the signature dish of the region, a creamy coconut curry noodle soup, traditionally served with chicken or beef. It's a delightful blend of spices and textures, with soft noodles submerged in the curry and crispy noodles on top.

Sai Oua is a spicy and aromatic grilled sausage, packed with herbs and spices unique to northern Thailand. It's often served with sticky rice and fresh vegetables.

Som Tam Thai, while originally from the northeast of Thailand, this spicy papaya salad has found a unique twist in Chiang Mai. It's a perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, with crunchy peanuts adding texture.

Chiang Mai Noodles, also known as Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao, is a noodle soup with a tangy tomato and pork broth, spiced with local herbs. It's served with rice noodles and often accompanied by a variety of fresh condiments.

For dessert, don't miss Mango Sticky Rice, made with ripe mangoes, sticky rice, and drizzled with coconut milk. A perfect way to end a meal.

To quench your thirst, try the Thai Iced Tea, a sweet and creamy beverage, made from strongly-brewed tea, sugar, and condensed milk, served over ice.

Also, Chiang Mai has a budding craft beer scene. Look out for locally brewed beers that incorporate Thai ingredients and flavors.

Remember, Chiang Mai's food scene is best experienced through exploration and adventure. In each spot of our audio guide, we'll provide you with the nearest recommended restaurants according to Google's user opinions, ensuring you get to taste the best of what Chiang Mai has to offer.

Transportation and getting around the city

When you land at Chiang Mai Airport, you have several options for getting into the city. The most convenient way is to grab a taxi; there's a taxi counter inside the terminal where you can get a fixed-price fare. Alternatively, you could opt for a shared minivan, which is more budget-friendly.

Once you're in the city, you'll find that Chiang Mai's public transport mainly consists of songthaews (red trucks) and tuk-tuks. Songthaews are great for short distances and are quite affordable. Just flag one down, tell the driver your destination, and hop on. Tuk-tuks are more flexible but slightly more expensive. It's always a good idea to agree on the fare before starting your journey.

For exploring the old city, walking is your best bet. The area is quite compact and pedestrian-friendly, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere at your own pace. Renting a bicycle is another great way to explore, especially the quieter, more scenic areas.

If you're looking to cover more ground, consider the hop-on hop-off tour buses. Tickets can be purchased at major tourist spots or online. These buses are a convenient way to see the main attractions without the hassle of navigating public transport.

Practical travel tips: The local currency is the Thai Baht. It's always useful to have cash, especially for small purchases like street food or fares in songthaews and tuk-tuks, as not all vendors accept cards. ATMs are widely available for cash withdrawals. As for electricity, Thailand uses the A and C type sockets, and the standard voltage is 220V. It's a good idea to carry a universal adapter to keep your devices charged and ready for your adventures in Chiang Mai.
