CHIANG MAI, THAILAND

I’ll just tell you straight up, Northern Thailand is known for its meat, and meat is a huge part of the local authentic food diet. So today I’m going to take you on a Northern Thai food meat tour – eat mostly amazing bbq meat and a dish called laap (ลาบ) – and show you some of the best restaurants in Chiang Mai, that I personally love.

Talad Mae Hia (ตลาดแม่เหี้ยะ) Market – We started off the morning at what is one of the best places in Chiang Mai for sai oua (ไส้อั่ว), or Northern Thai herb sausage. At the market, the stall is called Sai Oua Kao Bakam (ร้านไส้อั่วเก๊าบ่าขาม) and we ate their sai oua (ไส้อั่ว) and a brains packet (แอบอ๋องอ๋อ). The sausage was the highlight, a perfect balance of herbal and meatiness.
Price – 390 THB ($11.91) per kg.

Kum Sang Dao (คุ้มแสงดาวหมูย่าง) – Just outside of Chiang Mai, but well worth the effort to get there, is one of the most impressive, filled to the brim Northern Thai bbq meat grills. For any grillmaster, this will be a sight to behold. The northern Thai food grill is typically quite low heat so meat can just kind of hang around and smoke all day long as it’s eaten. We ordered the mixed grill (ย่างรวมมิตร), which included a mix of everything on the grill chopped up and served with sauce. Another highlight dish at Kum Sang Dao (คุ้มแสงดาวหมูย่าง) is theirsSoured pork, egg (จิ้นส้มหมกใส่ไข่). This is an amazing restaurant for Northern Thai meat dishes.
Total price – 390 THB ($11.91)

Laap Ton Koi Restaurant (ลาบต้นข่อย) – One of the best restaurants in Chiang Mai to eat at laap raw buffalo (ลาบควายดิบ), is Laap Ton Koi Restaurant (ลาบต้นข่อย), and I was very excited for this one. The minced buffalo was mixed with spices and bile, and herbs perfectly by the laap master. This is the best laap I have ever had in my life, it was absolutely incredible. We also ordered the Flash-cooked sliced meat (ส้าสะดุ้ง), and the pork herb curry (แกงอ่อมหมู).
Total price – 140 THB ($4.28)

Laap Ton Yang Restaurant (ร้านลาบต้นยาง) – Finally to end this Thai street food meat tour of Chiang Mai, we ate at one more of the best restaurants in Chiang Mai specializing in laap. Again the laap made with beef raw (ลาบเนื้อ ดิบ) was spectacular, but we also tried their laap pork cooked (ลาบหมู สุก), soured fried pork riblets (แหนมซี่โครงหมูทอด), steamed beef, chili dip (จิ้นนึ่ง นำ้พริกตาแดง), fish curry (แกงตูนป่า), and fried fish, herbs (ปลาทอดสมุนไพร). You don’t need to eat raw meat here, all the other Northern Thai food dishes are also spectacular. This is just a great restaurant in Chiang Mai.
Total price – 420 THB ($12.83)

Thank you for watching this Thai street food tour of Chiang Mai and hope you have an amazing time eating when you’re in Thailand!

Gotta say the thought of raw buffalo mixed with bile is perhaps not the tastiest sounding of Thai foods but it’s obviously popular!!

@jacqueschongue1482

Too much plastic used in Thailand and other country. Please Mark, try to sensibilize people for that.
Anyway I am a fan of your videos.

@carolinemah9972

I am learning more of Thai food each time I see your videos, and am learning to cook those delicious food too! Your family and Joel are a great team!

@sactyb

These are the only two people on earth that I trust to judge and critique food!! These guys would expose a lot of fake social media food content creators and put them to shame..especially in the likes and platforms of Andrew Zimmerman and others!! I always say that “if you don’t have a palate for blood and guts, you have no business telling the world about food!!!!” Not to mention, these guys love spicy foods with highest tolerance!!

@anonymous20237

A couple of things I've learned from Mark's channel and Sonny's channel is that every culture on earth has some sort of sausage, and the Asian cultures use kitchen shears a lot….

@reartrack

I have been observing your comments for a while. Throughout your videos, you never make any critical comments about what you ate. It is purely good positive comments and nothing on the flip side. How is it possible that whatever you eat is perfect? There is no genuine element to your content
