The 14 Best Restaurants in Chiang Mai, Thailand - Eater

"If it’s good enough for crowds of rowdy locals on a nightly basis (or notable foreigners, including Andy Ricker and the late Anthony Bourdain), it’s good enough for you. This raucous open-air place is a safe bet for just about anything local. Just point at whatever happens to be on the grill, because it’s bound to be good; go for the fragrant northern Thai-style laap, a dish of finely minced meat, or impress your friends with tam som oh, a pounded salad of pomelo (a grapefruit-like citrus) and crab paste, a uniquely northern Thai condiment.
