Street Food Festival 2025-2026

This open-air street food festival brings together a rotating collection of food stalls, live music, and carnival-style games in the Mae Hi area of Pai, creating a festive, communal atmosphere that draws both travellers and locals. The setting feels more like a lively food garden than a traditional restaurant, with vendors serving everything from native Thai dishes to international options, and a strong selection of vegan and vegetarian choices alongside meat-based dishes. Standout stalls include one serving Chicken Katsu Curry that has earned repeat visits from guests, while okonomiyaki is another crowd favourite worth seeking out. Beyond the food, the festival adds entertainment to the mix, with activities such as duck shooting and ring toss games, and Saturday evenings feature Muay Thai bouts for 100 baht, giving the night a distinctly local, celebratory feel. The music contributes to the relaxed but energetic vibe, making it a comfortable spot to spend a few hours rather than just a quick meal stop. Good to know: the festival runs evenings from 17:00 daily, though Thursdays open earlier at 11:00. Visitors planning to attend on a Saturday should arrive with time to catch the Muay Thai, which adds a unique dimension to the evening.
