Food tips verified October 2026 (on-site observation).
Anusarn Market food street
Behind the main bazaar, Anusarn Market is the biggest food cluster: northern Thai BBQ, grilled seafood, mango sticky rice, fresh juice and coconut jelly. Stalls often let you taste before buying.
Must-try dishes
Try northern sausages (sai ua), khao soi nearby, mango sticky rice, grilled seafood, fresh sugarcane or fruit juice, and coconut jelly. Portions are shareable, so go with friends and sample widely.
Drinks & desserts
Fresh fruit shakes, Thai iced tea, and coconut-based sweets are cheap and refreshing after a hot day. Look for stalls with a steady local queue.
Eating on a budget
Food stalls are inexpensive; sit-down air-conditioned restaurants cost more. Compare a few stalls, watch portions, and keep cash handy — small stalls often do not take cards.
