- Savor Chiang Mai’s signature dish, Khao Soi—silky coconut curry noodles, served in an unforgettable setting.
- Pair it with stir-fried Pak Boong (Morning Glory), some Khanom Krok: sweet and savoury Coconut-rice mini pancakes, and a chilled Thai tea for the perfect balance of spice and refreshment.
- Cool off with a vegan butterfly pea ice cream, and end on a sweet note with Bua Loi, warm and delicate rice balls floating in creamy coconut milk.
- Finally, we’ll wrap up this flavorful journey at Wat Lok Moli, one of Chiang Mai’s most charming temples.
