Phra Sing Chiang Mai Thailand - Food

Whether you prefer fresh local markets, convenience stores packed full of processed foods, food carts with affordable local dishes or restaurants - you can have it all.

A typical breakfast for me was at western places. There are hostels, guesthouses and hotels with restaurants. As well as people running diners out of their houses. For around 130 baht you can find "American breakfast" which includes eggs, bacon/sausage, bread, fruit and coffee. Different places will offer slight variations in the meals. There are other breakfast meals available both local and foreign. If you prefer, you can get fruit bowls with or without yogurt. Espresso drinks as well.

For lunch I would usually go to a locals restaurant. You can find fried rice for around 60 baht. If you want to have something more exotic then you can get a meat based dish for around 70 baht.  Most of them sell fruit smoothies as well. Fruit smoothies run for 25 to 40 baht - depending on the fruit and mixes you choose.

Dinner time was my favorite. There are affordable food stands everywhere! There are the classic local dishes you can find for 35 to 50 baht. There are some foreign food carts as well. I couldn't find much out there that was over 100 baht. Crepe carts, fruit carts and local desserts pop up as well. It is seriously hard to find food that doesn't suit your palette.

Here are some of my favorites -

Kaow soi

Pork Blood Stew

Grilled Chicken and Pork

(Tables at the food carts) 

Fruit Bowl

Some nights I would just create my own meal by browsing. You can pick up some meat from a grill. (Rice is also available for purchase). Then pick up some fresh fruit and other snacks at different vendors. The options are all out there and available for your desires.
