A Street Food Journey Through the City

Patongo Ko Neng

Just a short stroll from the hotel, Patongo Ko Neng is a cheerful local favourite for freshly fried patongo. Golden, crisp, and wonderfully fluffy, these Thai doughnuts are best enjoyed straight from the wok, dipped into pandan custard or a swirl of condensed milk. Simple, sweet, and a little bit addictive, it’s the perfect treat to start your day the Chiang Mai way.

Lung Khajohn Wat Ket

Just a five-minute stroll from the hotel, Lung Khajohn Wat Ket is a beloved Michelin Bib Gourmand street food stall set opposite Wat Ket Karam. A long-standing local favourite, it is known for its delicately crafted steamed rice dumplings and tapioca parcels, filled with sweet and savoury pork or peanuts and finished with a light coconut dressing. Modest in appearance yet rich in flavour and heritage, it offers a glimpse into Chiang Mai’s enduring culinary traditions and everyday local life.

Khaosoi Mae Manee

Khao Soi Mae Manee is a much-loved local institution, consistently recognised by the Michelin Guide for its exceptional khao soi. This Northern Thai classic is beautifully prepared, with tender egg noodles in a rich, fragrant coconut curry broth, finished with a topping of crisp noodles for a pleasing contrast in texture. Accompanied by pickled mustard greens, shallots, lime, and a touch of chilli oil, each bowl is well-balanced, gently spiced, and deeply comforting—an elegant reflection of Chiang Mai’s culinary heritage.

Nam Ngaiw Loong Pong

Nam Ngiaw Loong Pong is a quietly cherished local spot, known for its soulful take on nam ngiaw. The broth is rich and gently spiced, layered with tomato, tender pork, and soft rice noodles, creating a depth of flavour that is both comforting and distinctive. Finished with fresh herbs and a hint of tang, each bowl feels warm, familiar, and deeply rooted in Northern Thai tradition.
