Take a seat at the table and get stuck into this global gathering of flavour as Old Chiangmai Cultural Centre gets transformed into a foodie festival heaven. With almost every type of cuisine on offer, it’s a real showcase of the exceptional culinary skills the city has to offer, however the real showstopper must be those connected to this year’s theme – tracing Lanna roots back and reviving forgotten flavours through what they coin ‘Glocalisation’. So aside from all your usual faves, the festival also brings together local ingredients, international ideas and stories from chefs, creatives and ethnic communities in a bid to explore how tradition and innovation collide on the plate. Not to mention a good helping of live music, alcoholic drinks and fun activities to keep everyone merry. Go hungry, there’s lots to try.
Jan 17-18. Free. Old Chiangmai Cultural Centre. 10am-8pm
