    Great experience

    We had Ae for our private food tour, and she was very kind, patient and friendly! The food was generous and delicious. Going with her first gave us the confidence to later go out and explore more on our own. She was also very flexible, accommodating and easy going. She was open to any requests. We also happened to pass by an event and she encouraged us to stop and check it out and even waited while a girl showed me how to craft a flower with bamboo. Thank you for a great experience Ae!

    Great evening trying lots of authentic dishes.

    Had a fabulous food experience with Eddie. We were very lucky and didn’t have to wait for the food at any of the stalls. Some can be busy but due to the rain beforehand, stalls were quiet. He was interested in what we wanted to try and spice levels. We tried everything. Great food and pleasant conversation. He took lots of great photos. Would definitely recommend.

    Fantastic food tour

    Naphat our Guide was so friendly and welcoming we just knew from meeting her that we were going to have a great time. The food tour was amazing, time went so quickly as we moved amongst stalls in two different markets tasting dishes as we went experiencing authentic Thai cuisine from stalls we would not have gone to on our own. We were told about each dish we had with Naphat pointing out foods on the stalls and what it was, she was happy to answer all our questions. Not only did we talk about food but Naphat gave us a real insight into Thailand, its history and people as we went. The tour ended with a walk through the flower market to the river with stunning nightime views. Highly recommend Naphat as your guide and this food tour.

    Naphat is a wonderful guide! She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate about sharing her culture. The food choices were also quite generalizable and tourist friendly imo while also being culturally significant. Highly recommend!

    The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

    How much does The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.

    Is The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 223 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?

    +

    Around 78 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?

    +

    Included: 10 Food & Drinks Tastings; Vegetarian alternatives; Private Tour; and Local Guide. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop off is not provided; and Extra food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?

    +

    Outside the guesthouse entrance Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Thai and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to The 10 Tastings of Chiang Mai With Locals: Private Street Food Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
