Experience food tours in
Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"As a former full time traveller and travel writer, I’ve done a LOT of tours and met many guides. Ae, however, is in another league to most. We booked the tour last minute and yet it was so well organised, catered perfectly to our very difficult group of people (oldest 80, youngest 2!) and was so seamless! The foods were adjusted to our needs, and it was the perfect mix of authentic with still making us feel comfortable. Honestly can’t say enough positive things about Ae and about this tours "

"Tanya was great and did everything to make us feel welcome and we had some great food. A perfect day ❤️❤️"

"We did two tours with Ae. The first one was a food tour around Chiang Mai and we had a ball. Ae is so knowledgeable and personable at the same time. She makes everything fun and we ate so much! The next tour we did with her was a bike ride through the countryside and we actually went through her hometown and because she knew I love coffee so much, she took us to her favorite coffee shop and then we went to the roaster to see how the coffee was roasted. she’s great at tailoring things and finding cool things for one to look at. And she always make sure we have enough to eat and drink! On the bike ride through the country, I was bitten by a dog which is a real fluke and she was quick to take out her first aid kit and put iodine on it and then we all went to the emergency room which was a great experience and she took care of everything. We can’t wait to return to Chiang Mai and when we do we will definitely use her again for any tour. "

"Kamutnadda (“Eddie”) took my best friend and I on a fantastic food tour in Chiang Mai! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great historical context while making it feel like a local experience and skillfully avoiding tourist crowds/traps. The timing was well thought out; allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. He was also super flexible regarding food allergy accommodations and provided creative alternatives so we could each experience the best of Chiang Mai’s cuisine. I highly recommend booking with Eddie for anyone looking for an authentic and well-curated food tour - including the best fried chicken you’ll ever have!"

"We did the private Night Market and Street Food tour with Purichat during our visit to Chiang Mai and it was a truly fascinating introduction to Northern Thai food! We had a larger group of seven people with varying degrees of adventurousness when it came to food and Purichat did a great job balancing all of the food selections taking us to taste more familiar dishes like Pad Thai as well as new dishes like Khanom chin nam ngiao ( a noodle soup made from fermented bean paste and chicken blood). We also had requests from a couple people in the group to do some shopping which she made sure to include in the tour, taking us to a local market to pick up some things and also sample a few Thai snacks. If you have a free evening in Chiang Mai I would highly recommend this tour with Purichat!"

"Tanya took me to some great spots based on my tastes that I would not have found otherwise. I enjoyed all of the tastings and the market tour at the end was a lot of fun. All in all, it was a great introduction to the food of Chiang Mai."

"Purichat was a fabulous guide teaching us so much about Thailand and its history Her food choices were outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together She was THE BEST "

"Purichat (May) was such a friendly host and genuinely seemed passionate about the tour. She drove us around in her own very nice car (Ford Ranger) and had such a sweet personality."

"We have booked the Street Food Tour with May on the evening ans every second was worth it! May is very passionated about food and super funny. There was never a weird atmosphere and she showed us a lot of dishes apart from Pad Thai we would never have tried as a tourist. We would recommend this tour 100%! Thank you again May for this special evening ☺️ Pro tip: Don't eat anything else this day and also don't plan for breakfast the next morning. Thank you!! "

"This was our favorite tour that we’ve done. We’re both foodies and we would have NEVER in a million years found the places we ate, or tried the foods that we tried without May. She’s a true professional and very fun to be around. If you are an adventurous eater and want to experience truly what the locals eat, book this trip. Thanks May! We’ll keep spreading the love all the way from Reno NV. "
