The AGS Executive Summary
Wander the immense Sunday Walking Street in Chiang Mai alongside a local culinary expert, decoding the rich, complex flavors of Northern Thai (Lanna) cuisine.
The Operator & Origin Story
Northern Thai food is distinct—it lacks the coconut milk sweetness of the south and relies heavily on complex, earthy spice pastes, bitter herbs, and sticky rice. The Sunday market is the ultimate showcase of this regional identity.
The Itinerary & Deep Dive
Meet your guide at the Tha Phae Gate as the sun sets. As you enter the walled city, your guide directs you past the standard tourist souvenirs straight to the heritage food stalls.
You will taste Khao Soi (curry noodle soup), Sai Oua (spicy herbaceous sausage), and Nam Prik Num (roasted green chili dip). The experience is a masterclass in regional flavor profiles.
