Krua Phet Doi Ngam — The Must-Visit Northern Thai Restaurant in Chiang Mai

Located along the Super Highway north of Chiang Mai city, Krua Phet Doi Ngam was featured as the very first restaurant in the 2006 guidebook "Chiang Mai Manpuku Shokudo" — described as the #1 restaurant you must visit in Chiang Mai.

The Must-Try Dish: Yam Samunprai

The one dish you absolutely cannot miss is Yam Samunprai (Fresh Herb Salad). Made with freshly picked medicinal herbs — raw white turmeric, lemongrass, cilantro, shallots, and lime juice — combined with nuts, sesame, dried shrimp, and fried onions. Sweet, spicy, and sour flavors dance together in perfect harmony.

  • Tom Saep Moo — Isaan-style sour and spicy pork offal soup
