Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked into the historic Phra Singh district on Moon Muang Road, Another World is an evening restaurant that has built a strong reputation among visitors to Chiang Mai's Old City. Its consistent and highly favorable ratings across a substantial number of reviews point to a place that delivers reliably on both food and service, making it a worthwhile consideration for travelers planning a dinner during their time in the city.

The setting sits in contrast to the ancient temples and traditional markets that characterize this part of Chiang Mai, offering a contemporary dining atmosphere in an area more commonly associated with heritage sightseeing. The restaurant suits a range of occasions, from a relaxed solo dinner to an evening out with a group, and its location makes it easy to fold into a broader evening exploring the Old City.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
