Peeyai Restaurant — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

If you want to eat authentic thai food, you are at the right place.

Family-run small restaurant. They cook for you as they would be cooking for their own family. A lot's of ingredients that you have never seen before in bigger and more touristic restaurants. Not even at the local food markets (there, they use the absolute minimum of ingredients to spend less money and preparation time).

Extremely tasty. Twice as yummy as in other restaurants, and half of the price charged in more touristic places.

After living in Thailand for two years from 92-94 and coming back after that for holidays around twenty times, I don't get any more euphoric quickly about tasty thai food, as there are a lot of places where you get really nice food. But this place is an exception, I was feeling like when I ate for the first time this incredibly tasty food full of different flavors and notes.

This place is an absolute must in Chiang Mai for any gourmand, connoisseur in thai food.

Highly...

We chose this place because of the good reviews. Ordered a sweet and sour chicken, red curry chicken and a mango-yoghurt shake. Ingredients of sweet and sour were flooded with a ketchup based gravy, it felt like eating tomato taste chicken. It is just not how it's supposed to be. Red curry was the strangest variation we had at Chiang Mai. All the usual ingredients were taken out and added some asian plums or apples. The taste was odd... And finally, the shake. It was perfect. She made a big cup (0.5-0.6L) of a really nice drink, which was the best shake in the city we tried so far. I would return to Peeyai just for a shake. Guys, I believe you have this rating for a reason and you can...

We have eaten here 4 times in the last 10 days. I have tried a new dish every time and have yet to be disappointed. Everything is fresh and tastes like it was made with love. The service is incredible, friendly, and kind. The prices are wonderful. The smoothies are top-notch, too. Kiddo approves of the cheeseburger. The fries are hand cut and delicious. The fried cashew chicken, the fried noodles with chicken, the sweet and sour chicken, the tempura, and the fried calamari have each been...
