Street food - fried pancake
Tucked along Ratchapakhinai Road on the edge of Chiang Mai's old city, this small street stall has earned a loyal following among locals and travellers alike for its freshly prepared roti and fried pancakes. The vendor, known affectionately as PhetPhet, brings a warm and cheerful presence to every order, and the aroma of the cooking draws in passersby before they even spot the stall itself.
The menu keeps things simple and satisfying. Popular choices include banana roti and chocolate wraps, with prices starting as low as 15 baht per piece, making it one of the more affordable snack stops in the area. A handful of chairs are available on the side for those who want to sit and eat on the spot. The combination of generous flavours, friendly service, and low prices has made this a go-to roti stop for repeat visitors to Chiang Mai.
The stall operates Tuesday through Saturday, opening each evening from 18:00 to 22:00, so it fits naturally into a night-time wander around the old city. Wednesday and Sunday are closed, so it is worth planning around those days. No booking is required, and the stall typically does not have a long queue, making it an easy and unhurried stop during an evening out.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
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.
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.
