We didn't expect to cook breakfast in a hot spring. San Kamphaeng hot springs, just outside Chiang Mai. Locals come every weekend with their families, picnics and everyone waiting for their number at the egg station. Here's how it works: you buy a basket of raw eggs, a woven holder, and soy sauce. Find a free hook, every hook has a number so no one steals your eggs 😄, hang your basket in the bubbling water, check the chart for soft or hard, and wait. The water shoots 3 metres out of the ground. Natural. Powerful. Completely free to watch. We added salt instead of soy sauce. Old habits. Best eggs we've ever had. No kitchen required. This is one afternoon outside Chiang Mai. We found 40+ spots like this, the kind that don't appear on any list. Chiang Mai Like a Local · Live Full. Eat Slow. More at @sailingkanoa 🔖

We found a ghost spot. This legendary roti stall in Chiang Mai doesn't even exist on Google Maps. No pin, no reviews, just pure, buttery heaven. We’ve spent years traveling and tasting street food, but this specific roti in Chiang Mai just changed the game. Watching the rhythm of the dough, the sizzle of the pan, and that final, golden crunch... it’s not just street food; it’s a craft passed down through generations. Most people walk past these hidden gems, but the real soul of Thai flavors lives right here. Wait until the end to see the exact location so you don't miss it when you’re in the North. Would you try it with condensed milk or keep it classic? Let me know below! p.s. Because it’s a "hidden gem" in the truest sense, I’m pinning the exact coordinates in my upcoming "Live Full, Eat Slow" Chiang Mai Guide. Want early access to the map? Comment "SECRET" below and I’ll send you the waitlist link.

This might be the most unforgettable Khao Soi we’ve ever tried… A place built by 9 relatives - each of them a chef, each adding a piece of their soul here. But what stayed with me the most… was watching her. An elderly Thai woman, carefully making the crispy noodles - one of the most important parts of Khao Soi. Every portion - slow, intentional, full of respect. You can literally feel it in the taste. I even got to talk to her… and you just know this is more than food. If you’re in Chiang Mai - this place is a must. Trust me… you’ll want to come back again and again. 📍 If you’re planning a trip to Chiang Mai - save this spot. p.s.
