What it is: Thung Chiangmai has, for a long time, brought the best of Northern food to mouths across Chiang Mai – mainly from their A-frame restaurant Han Teung Chiangmai, just off Suthep road. Earning countless accolades over the last few years, they eventually spread wings and brought their flavours south to Bangkok.
Why we love it: With their unapologetic approach to Northern Thai cuisine, you can now get your most exotic fixes right here in Bangkok. Dine on the finest ant egg omelettes, gorge on rich and creamy hung-le curries and sample spicy sai-oua at four locations across the capital – Central Dusit Park, Suan Luang, Phaya Thai and lakeside at Saphan Sung. For bigger meals, head east out of the city for grand sit-down meals in restaurants that set the scene perfectly. For quick craving fixes, head to Central Dusit Park with the smaller, but equally exciting food-court corner that goes heavy on the khao soi.
Time Out tip: Thung Chiangmai is one of the few spots in Bangkok that does the soupy, tomato-rich broth of nam-ngiew the right way. A great midday filler poured over fresh vermicelli noodles.
‘Arrive’ at Chiang Mai by visiting Central Dusit Park, Pattanagarn 38 (Suan Luang), Phahon Yothin 7 (Phaya Thai) and lakeside on Soi Mu Ban Sammakon (Saphan Sung). 11am-10pm (opens 10am at Dusit Park).
