Mr Goal was brilliant. He created a fun atmosphere at all the food stops. Yep the food choices were incredably tasty and he knows everything about food and Chiang Mai. I really had a great night and I was with good company as well. Must do this foodie tour with Mr Goal.

This experience was absolutely perfect for our first day in Thailand, but even if we had been here a week I still learned more from this tour than I ever would have on my own. Amazing food, host, and group made for an incredible time! Thank you, Jay!

Itinerary

Begin with pickup at your Chiang Mai accommodations, then meet a small group of fellow foodies—for a more personal experience, the group size is limited to eight people.

Follow a route that will take you to two evening markets, where you’ll try a wide variety of dishes, from kannom jin Chinese noodles to northern Thai specialties, coconut dumplings, stewed pork, and sweets. This is the perfect time to learn some basic phrases with help from a local, then practice ordering dishes in Thai. The tour includes a leaflet that explains the most popular street food dishes, so you can keep exploring Thai markets on your own.

With a small group and an experienced guide, you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions about unfamiliar foods, ingredients, and how to eat some of Thailand’s more exotic dishes. After you’ve tasted your way through both markets, you’ll hop a songthaew for the return trip to your accommodations, where this tour concludes.

We had such a great time on our food tour! I went with my husband and three kids. It ended up being just us, and our tour guide, Mr. Goal, did such a great job making sure there was something for all of us at each stop. The food was amazing, there was not a single thing I tried and didn't like. Plus there was so much of it! You definitely need to come hungry. The tour was great, and I would highly recommend.

What a great night in Chiang Mai!

Jennifer_F, Jan 2026

Jay did an excellent job guiding us through various street food markets. We tried multiple dishes that were all delicious. He also provided us with a handout containing key phrases and dishes that we could use during the tour but also on other days. So thoughtful and handy!

You won’t leave hungry!

Shelly_S, Jan 2026

We started the night trying food at a restaurant and our guide, Goal, taught us about the various regions of Thailand and how countries surrounding Thailand impacted the food styles. Then he took us around town to try street food and sample a huge variety of food. You won’t leave this tour hungry!!

Great food tour

Paul_K, Jan 2026

Really interesting food tour of Chiang Mai in the back of a local Song thrown (red pick-up taxi). Goal was an excellent guide taking us first to a local restaurant where a vast array of delicouos Northern food was laid out and then to a couple of night markets where we tried a variety of dishes from across Thailand. I lost track of the number of dishes we tried - Goal kept tempting us with another snack which was irresistible and we ended with a shot of the local fire water which to be honest was probably better resisted! A great introduction to real thai food and best done early in your trip

Great tour!

Audrey_G, Dec 2025

The guide went above and beyond to make us taste so many dishes. He explain everything that we ate. We didn't expect to try that much food. It was 20 dishes! Really great value. We felt safe with him to try all the food. You should come to that tour on an empty stomach and pace yourself during the tour. Don't eat to much rice if you want to try everything. So much good food!!! Thanks again!

Chaotic and unorganized experience but good food

Salvador_A, Dec 2025

This tour was nothing like advertised. For one, it was not organized at all. Completely chaotic. It felt like our tour guide didn’t have a plan for which spots we would be eating from. He would simply walk by food stands, grab and touch everything then continue walking to another vendor. No rhyme or reason for which food stand we would get food from. He would often take us to what he would say was his favorite food stand or favorite Thai dish, but then say “we don’t be eating here/or this”. He lacked focus of any kind. It was advertised in the description that we would be driven around in a traditional truck but instead he crammed us all into his SUV. The tour lasted way longer than advertised too, so much that one of the person in the tour decided to leave. Our tour guide also never really explained the dishes we were eating nor their history. The upside of this tour was that we did try really good food and one of the other couple with us enjoyed laughing with us about how comical the entire tour was. Two weeks later, we went for another food tour but in Bangkok this time. And it was vastly different. Very well organized. Our to our guide told us exactly at the start how many dishes we would be tasting, which type of dishes, would speak at length about the history of the dishes as well as the food stands we would go to. She would explain perfectly why she picked those in particular. The food was phenomenal and the experience showed us what a real food tour should be like. We later learned that this company also offers food tours in Chiang Mai. So I highly suggest you use them instead of this company. They are called A Chef’s Tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

To Mr. Salvador. First of all, Chiangmaistreetfoodtours sincerely thank you for your support. Our company is not new, we have been conducting food activities over ten years, welcoming many people around the world, Thank to good management and guide who are generally quality and hard working. However, we genuinely regret and must apologize that you did not have a good experience with our tour guide. This way entirely our shortcoming. We will promptly address the point of failure to ensure such an incident does not occur in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we once again extend our sincere apologies.

Alexander_N, Dec 2025

Loved this food tour. Our guide, Mr. Goal, was incredibly friendly and helped foster a great chemistry for our small group. We went to one restaurant and three separate markets and tasted maybe 20+ dishes plus some liquor at the end of the night and they were all delicious. Mr. Goal did a great job of picking food representing different regions of the country, explaining the history and preparation of the food, and providing valuable color that made our experience incredible. We definitely visited a number of places I don't think we would've found without this tour. Would absolutely recommend this.

Guide was great . Picked me up at my hotel on time. We went to 3 different places for food tasting . He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Posted lots of photos to WhatsApp. The group was small(6) so easy to get around and we got to enjoy each others company. I took a similiar experience in Bangkok for twice the price and there is no comparison. Highly recommend

Vast variety of food - mains, desserts & even a little drink at the end. Super-attentive, thoughtful & informative guide. Definitely broadened both the food we tried and where we ate - we wouldn’t have got round four night markets in one evening under our own steam. Good value for money.

Great tour with knowledgeable guide The.

Best Food Experience in Chiang Mai

Martin_H, Nov 2025

This is the 2nd time we have done this trip and it’s the only way to taste the different types of street food in Chaing Mai. The amount of different dishes you try is excellent and as you are in a small group the choice is endless. The guides and drivers are very helpful and informative throughout the trip. My advice is to don’t eat much before the trip, don’t fill your self up on the first few dishes as there will be so many to try and do the trip at the start of your visit to Chiang Mai as you will see so many different areas of the city which you can visit again.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Khun Martin. We are very happy and delighted that you have returned to use our tour service again. We thank you for your trust. And thank you for your kind support.

Street food tour

jon_h, Nov 2025

Well we visited a few different vendors and all the food was cooked fresh and very tasty. I would recommend not eating before you go as I had a late lunch and struggled a bit. Enjoyed the evening and the info given was interesting. Well worth it 😉

Angie_O, Nov 2025

Awesome way to discover the best Thai street food. Arriving with so many warnings from others before we travelled it was great to learn what to really be aware of and to try many different dishes to discover new favorites. Mr T was awesome, a great guide coping with crazy unexpectedly busy traffic calmly and carefully. Totally recommend... If you get Mr T even better!
