Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well
If you've been trailing round Chiang Mai's night markets wondering why the vegetarian options are always one sad plate of fried rice, this is the one to head for. Several stalls do vegan food here, and at least one keeps going late, which matters on Ratvithi Road when the rest of the street has shut its kitchens. The rest is standard food court fare done tidily, like pad see ew, sticky rice and fruit smoothies. People rave about the mango smoothie and they're right to.
It's a communal setup, long tables, live music, plenty of young travelers playing cards and talking over each other. Not the most authentically Thai evening you'll have in this city, and nobody's pretending otherwise. But the stalls are clean, the presentation is a cut above, prices are fair, and it's an easy place to eat alone without feeling odd about it. Regulars warn you to bring repellent, because the mosquitoes find you sitting still.

Reviews from Google
Yes it's not the real Thailand but you are in Chiang Mai city:-) I actually liked the diversity of different types of foods, presentation and cleanliness of this night market compared to many others. Lot's of young folks from all over the world chatting different languages and playing cards. Peaceful atmosphere and good vibes. Cherry on cake, they propose recycling trash and this owes a 5 stars (at least for the education effort) as rarely seen in South East Asia.
Cute, lovely ambiance! There is a variety of food to choose from and drinks/smoothies! Try the Mango smoothie and sticky rice, as they are the best! 🥭❤️ Best recommended to go after 7pm!
In a busy nightlife area, this market actually has a vegan spot that is open late! The food is ok, a little bland, but definitely hit the spot when I was looking to get some food and everything else was closed. There were a couple other stands at the same market offering vegan options as well.

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.
