The 13 best spots for dumplings in Mae Rim

A very pleasant place to visit with children. You can learn how paper is made from fiber — in this case, fiber sourced from animal droppings. Everything is clean and properly washed, and it highlights an alternative, eco-friendly raw material. The guides are great at explaining the process, and at the end, there’s a chance to take part in hands-on activities using the handmade paper. The kids absolutely loved that part!

I had an amazing experience at Tiger Kingdom Chiang Mai! The staff were outstanding—very friendly, professional, and spoke excellent English, which made everything smooth and comfortable. They explained clearly how to interact with the tigers and were always nearby to ensure safety. Their care and attention really made me feel at ease. The tigers were calm, gentle, and well-cared for, and the trainers did a fantastic job guiding us. I felt safe the whole time thanks to their support. I especially recommend visiting the big tigers and the smallest ones—they were both calm, cute, and unforgettable. Highly recommended, and huge thanks to the amazing staff for making it such a special experience!

We came here without knowing that it was a Michelin star restaurant. But it was a great surprise. It had a very good atmosphere with excellent decor. The food is great. We had the le crispy pork with Thai basil and the khao soi with braised beef. Both very good. The appetizer mix is also very good for the price. The waiters are very efficient and friendly.

This restaurant, right in the heart of Chiang Mai, offers absolutely amazing food. The interior is beautifully designed, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The menu is inspired by the northern region of Thailand, and everything we tried was outstanding. We had several dishes, probably ten or more, and they were all delicious. I highly recommend the mixed platters, where you can try a variety of different items. The service is top-notch – the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, and they speak excellent English. I highly recommend visiting this place for anyone looking for great food in a beautiful setting. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place is special!”

A Hidden Gem by the River – A Perfect Evening Experience This beautiful riverside restaurant truly exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the charming atmosphere and attention to detail. Nestled right by the water, the setting is nothing short of idyllic — especially in the evening, when the outdoor area is gently illuminated and the reflections on the river create a magical ambiance. Both the interior and exterior spaces are thoughtfully designed, offering comfort and elegance whether you choose to dine indoors or out. The terrace is particularly stunning at night, perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed evening with friends. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was prepared with clear attention to quality and flavor, showcasing fresh ingredients and a refined touch. It’s rare to find such consistency in both presentation and taste — this place delivers on both fronts. What truly set the experience apart, however, was the warm and welcoming team. The staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive without ever being intrusive. You can feel that they genuinely care about their guests’ experience, and it made a lasting impression. One highlight not to miss: the foamed beer. It’s a unique specialty of the house and adds an unexpectedly delightful twist to the usual beverage experience — creamy, smooth, and perfectly chilled. Definitely something to try, even if you’re not typically a beer drinker. In short, this restaurant is a rare find — a perfect combination of stunning location, excellent cuisine, and outstanding service. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

This restaurant is a hidden gem, beautifully located on a lush green hillside. It’s like a paradise with lots of good parking spaces, though you might not spot it easily from the outside. There’s a charming roofed outdoor seating area by a small stream, adding to the serene vibe. The food is fantastic; I particularly enjoyed the German sausages and the Pad Krapao, both were excellent. Many dishes are organic, which I really appreciate. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Outside, there’s a small gelateria with amazing handmade ice cream that’s definitely worth trying. Though it’s a bit pricier, it’s absolutely worth it.

In surprising delicacies in the historical building The service staff enthusiastically recommends dishes that hit the taste buds 👍 The delicious dinner is accompanied by the service staff's flower-like smiles 😋😉🌻❤️ It is so satisfying 😇 It is worth coming here to taste the food 👍

I heard that there are many customers, so I made a reservation by phone in advance and visited. I visited at 12 p.m. on weekdays, and there were many customers in the restaurant. But it wasn't busy or noisy. The cute staff who welcomed me with a shy smile were so kind. My husband and I ordered dim sum, Xiaolongbao, and duck dishes. The food shown in the first picture was really delicious(soy sauce served with together was really delicious), but I couldn't eat it well because it contained coriander. If you don't like coriander, be careful. I don't know if you can take out the coriander. Shrimp dim sum and chives shrimp dim sum were also so delicious. I can pay with a credit card, and thanks to my kind employees, I had a good meal.

Well-cooked and seasoned fish. Sauces were bright, flavorful, and addicting. Very pleasing dining expereience, made even exceptional with refreshing whites on the side. Would like to try more of the honey wines and different menus next time.

Very homey place. Drinks are self service. Food is quite fast, but maybe cuz we went nearly their closing time so not many tables left. The food we ordered were tasty. Stir fried soft-shell crab was exceptionally delicious. Really recommend. Apparently the place is famous among Korean tourists also.

Tonight was our second visit during our stay in Chiang Mai, and once again, it was excellent. The service from the staff is exceptional. Attentive but not intrusive. A good level of spoken English was appreciated as we British are notorious for only knowing one language. The quality of the ingredients enhances the overall dining experience. Prices are slightly higher than your average local Pad Thai, but good value for the quality of food in such a clean and spacious environment. There are a few tables downstairs where you can clearly see everything being prepared and cooked. More seating is provided upstairs, which means that even when busy, it doesn't feel crowded. If you find you ordered too much because it was so difficult to choose, no problem, you can take it away for later.

Just across the street of our fine hotel (with also a Michelin recommendation) we found this traditional Khao Soi restaurant. We were treated so nicely and with a minimum of English we got what was suggested: chicken Khao Soi with fish balls that were also excellent! It is also a shop, but we took a table and ate there. The ambiance is of a real popular Thai restaurant for the Thai themselves, so nothing too fancy or pretentious! We loved it and we recommend the Thai ice tea (indeed with ice, but everything went great).

Yes! Yes! Yes, yes yes! This is definitely worth stopping at. They offer some thing we had never had or seen anywhere else. It describes it as dessert, but it was subtle enough to be enjoyed for breakfast. We of course tried both types. And we thought they were equally as good. And the cool thing is you walk up and they are making them right in front of you and preparing bags. And it was ridiculously cheap. You must go here if you’re in the area! It is worth trying for sure.
