Tong Tem Toh

Tong Tem Toh is a Chiang Mai institution and probably the most famous spot in town for authentic Northern Thai food.

It’s always buzzing with both locals and visitors – especially visitors from Bangkok, so don’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a wait—it’s worth it. Their signature dishes, like the spicy larb kua and crispy pork belly, are packed with flavor and heat, perfect if you want to dive into the bold tastes of the region.

Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the lively atmosphere makes it a fun, must-try dining experience.
