Sawitchaya was very welcoming and a font of knowledge. We began and ended the tour at a restaurant and tried specialties such as Koh Soi, massaman Curry and Tom Yum soup. At the first restaurant where we had Koh Soi, it was accompanied by tea salad which was one of the highlights of the day. We spent the middle part of the tour at a local market that was for "locals". The market was clean, well organized and huge. There were an amazing array of produce as well as semi prepared and ready to go foods. Our guide, Sawitchaya, did a terrific job of explaining all the spices, produce and other assorted ingredients and how they were used to create an amazing array of prepared and semi-prepared foods for sale. Wonderful Experience

We have booked the Street Food Tour with May on the evening ans every second was worth it! May is very passionated about food and super funny. There was never a weird atmosphere and she showed us a lot of dishes apart from Pad Thai we would never have tried as a tourist. We would recommend this tour 100%! Thank you again May for this special evening ☺️ Pro tip: Don't eat anything else this day and also don't plan for breakfast the next morning. Thank you!! LET'S EAT!

We had such an amazing tour with May. She knows everything about food. We visited great places and had amazing food. We had things that we never tried before even after several years of visiting Thailand. May is a great host and tells about the food and how to prepare it. On the local market she shows you all the ingredients. A great tour if you like Thai culture and food. And if you are a real foodie. Supee tour with super guide

May was exceptional as she navigated our dietary restrictions on this tour. She took us to a cool market where we tasted unique appetizers, fruits and drinks. This was followed by going 2 restaurants where she ordered unique Chiang Mai dishes and explained their ingredients and what made each of those unique. We ended our tour with desserts. May is warm, friendly and very personable. I was unsure on what to expect given we are vegan (my husband is vegetarian) and she made the whole tour very special.Great vegan /vegetarian tasting tour

May was a fantastic guide to the best plant-based dishes in Chiangmai! She's very easy to talk to, fun, and has a great sense of humour. You can tell she enjoys doing the tour. A real highlight was a trip to the local market where we tried some of the best fruit, pastries, teas, and snacks that we never would have discovered on our own. The best were the coconut pancakes - so delicious! We'd definitely recommend May - if you book a food tour with her, make sure to show up very hungry! Fun veggie/vegan experience in Chiangmai

I’m so happy i decided to book the 10 Tastings food tour with May. She is an absolute gem! She’s super sweet and fun! It was just her and I and she took me to all the best local spots to try out local Northern cuisine and street food in Chiang Mai. Also loved that it wasn’t rushed and she knew exactly what order to try out the food. There is so much food to try out so I recommend going with a big appetite. Highly recommend this food tour with May. It was an unforgettable and amazing experience! 😍Super Fun Food Tour With May (Sawitchaya)

We can't thank May enough for a wonderful food experience. We ate some dishes that we are familiar with but the places May brought us to try them were out of this world! It's exactly what we wanted - where locals eat! She also came with alot of knowledge about the ingredients and the difference in Northern cuisine from the rest of Thailand. She was also amazing with my 3-year old and gave us respite by entertaining her while we ate our food! Thank you May!What an amazing food tour!
