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

Larb Duang Dee Mee Sook is a roadside northern Thai restaurant on Soi Ban Huai Sai in Su Thep, on the southwest edge of town, and it's listed in the MICHELIN Guide's northern Thai selection. This is larb the way the north eats it, including raw buffalo larb with sticky rice, alongside spicy soups and a grill of offal, which Time Out recommends to anyone curious about real Lanna food.

It's inexpensive, under ฿200 a person on Google's listing, and open every day from 11:00 to 22:00. It's a Grab ride from the Old City or Nimman, and the setting is plain and local rather than a tourist restaurant.

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.
