Just arrived in Chiang Mai on our five week food safari of Chiang Mai and Surat Thani, chasing down authentic local food. Stuff you can't get at home. Feel free to follow me to see where the best authentic food is.

Chiang Mai is very touristy these days so be prepared to ask for proper Thai food, not tourist or "farang" food. There is a huge difference. It's not just about how much chili is in it.

Phloen Ruedee is an excellent place for food Thai food and drink in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We came here on a Friday night and enjoyed a few drinks, and salted BBQ tilapia. We also had a green mango salad , but that was very ordinary.

It’s a cleaner night market for food and beverages than the surrounding ones. Most the food stalls are comparable to typical offerings in a Thai food market.

Just leaving this review to warn against the stall selling only coconut beverages – the stall holders were sulky and the “coconut smoothie” (฿50) was such a scam; consisting of 2 spoonfuls of coconut water, syrup, condensed milk & sugar, plus a ton of ice. I had to stop the lady from adding more sugar to my drink and she looked pissed. Just stick to buying the actual real coconut or a beer, from other stalls.

The fried chicken stall near the entrance was really good value – got 5 large pieces of chicken tenders for ฿100 only.

The atmosphere was quite laid-back but if you’re looking for good food, you’re better off with the many restaurant offerings...
