After Dark Activities and Fun

Chiang Mai dining is one of the major attractions to this
unique and fascinating city. The distinct taste of northern
Thai cuisine draws heavily on influences from Burma and China
resulting in many fantastic flavours sure to satisfy the most
refined palate.
Some of the best food around can be found right on the street
from one of the innumerable stalls and carts that the Thai
people are so enamoured of. Once you’ve eaten your fill
you can head out to one of the many bars and clubs of Chiang
Mai. Chiang Mai pubs are populated by a mix of travellers,
university students, businessmen and expats that makes for
a wonderfully mixed scene. |

China is evident in northern cuisine, resulting in milder curries
and the heavier use of ginger and turmeric. (Read

Everywhere you go in Thailand you'll see the street vendors,
preparing and serving a cornucopia of dishes from their simple
carts and stalls.

usually clump together, providing excellent selection. Noodles,
barbeque, curries and desserts, Thai street food is a pocket
change smorgasbord. (Read More...). |
