Found the best coffee spot in Chiang Mai and it is not in the old city. Best Coffee has four different roasters on the menu. You pick the bean, they pull the shot. Single origin pours, a beautiful interior, and zero tourist energy. We have been here more than once and it keeps getting better. If you are looking for specialty coffee in Chiang Mai, this is the place locals actually go. Full Chiang Mai food map dropping soon, save this video so you don't lose it. 📍 Montrio Reflow Cnx

A mountain of gold? Not quite, but the obsession is real. At the Wua Lai Saturday Market, there’s a spot where time stops. From a distance, it looks like a shimmering pile of gold, but as you get closer, you realize it’s a sea of hand-cast bronze. There is something deeply primal about sitting on a tiny stool, digging through thousands of metallic artifacts to find your match. It’s a lesson in patience and the beauty of raw materials in the heart of Chiang Mai’s silver district. This exact spot and my other secret finds are included in my upcoming "Live Full Eat Slow" guide to Chiang Mai. Stay tuned! 📍Location: Wua Lai Walking Street (Saturday Market), Chiang Mai

I thought tea belonged in a cup. Then I found a night market in Chiang Mai serving a salad made from fermented tea leaves. The dish is called laphet thoke and comes from Myanmar, where fermented tea leaves have been eaten for centuries and traditionally shared with guests as a sign of hospitality. Next to it was banana flower salad a dish popular across Southeast Asia. The banana blossom is sliced into thin strips and mixed with herbs, lime, chili and peanuts, giving it a crunchy texture somewhere between cabbage and artichoke. Salty, bitter, sour, crunchy, floral nothing tasted the way I expected. This is what I love about night markets in Asia. Not the “top 10 foods”. The feeling that there are still things in the world you’ve never even imagined eating. 📍I’ve been collecting places like this all over Chiang Mai. The guide is almost ready follow if you want the first drop.
