There's a lot of delicious Chiang Mai street food to eat when you visit, and one of my favorite places in the city, during the evening is Chang Phueak. If you love to eat Thai street food, you'll have no problem discovering the full range, more like a plethora of food available at your fingertips when you're in Chiang Mai. From the morning until the evening you'll find street food vendors scattered throughout the city, and tucked into shopping markets. While there are many places to eat Chiang Mai street food in the evening, one place that I really like is called Pratu Chang Phueak, which literally translates to the sacred white elephant gate. It's located right across the street from the north side of the Chiang Mai wall, so the area is easily accessible central Chiang Mai. During the daytime, Chang Phueak ) is more of just an empty sidewalk, with some stores, but not too much going on. In the evening is when the Chiang Mai street food stall begin to set up their shops and open for business. My wife told me there were two main stall we needed to eat at, one for the stewed pork leg, known in Thai as kha moo, and one for the suki, the Thai style of sukiyaki. We first started with a stall known as Khao Kha Moo Chang Phueak. You'll know you're in the right spot because of the owner, who is the vendor, who sells her stewed pork leg while wearing a cowboy hat - you can also call her stall, the Cowboy lady street food stall in Chiang Mai, and everyone will know who you're talking about. She serves a Thai dish known as khao kha moo, which is pork leg or knuckle, served with rice. I ordered just a normal plate, so it came with rice on the bottom and a good handful of tender pork on top. Along with the pork, I got a hard boiled egg and then garnished my entire dish with vinegar, raw garlic, and raw chilies. I would have to say it was one of the better plates of khao kha moo ) that I've ever had - I would highly recommend it. After completing my plate of khao kha moo, I went next door to the next Chiang Mai street food stall known as Suki Koka. They are equally as famous as the pork leg stall, but for the Thai dish of suki. You can either order the dry stir fried version, or the soup version of Thai suki: I got the suki haeng moo, the dry version with pork. It was a mixture of mostly napa cabbage, pork, and mung bean noodles, all served with a sauce that was tangy and had a wonderful aroma of sesame oil to it. I absolutely loved the suki at Suki Koka. It was different from other Thai versions that I've had before, and it was so fresh and there was so much flavor packed into it - excellent. There are a few other street food stalls to choose from, but these two are the most popular, and I think they serve the best food. Here are the two street food stalls I ate at Chang Phueak. Khao Kha Moo Chang Phueak ): Suki Koka ): When you're looking for great street food in Chiang Mai, make sure you go to Chang Phueak ) in the evening and eat at these two stalls

Hi Mark, I love your videos - I really do - but PLEASE stop doing that thing with your head (opening your eyes wide, swaying your head left or right) every single first bite you take Doing it once in a while as a form of expression no problem, but every single time you take a first bite is seriously annoying. This expression appears in virtually every video of yours I've watched. It makes you look very scripted and simultaneously retarded. Thanks for your consideration.

Loved this as well as all your other videos. Apart from one time, a while back, when you showed how to make Som Tam Thai, you never explain HOW the food is made. I LOVE Thai street food (I have even eaten at some of the places you recommended, but I don't always have access to it. I am not in Thailand that regularly. I would really like to make some of the things at home and would love it if you could show how the food is made. Thanks, David

Hi Mark. Nearly 40 episodes in and I have been so distracted by the head sway for so long I just now noticed the ring of gold on your finger. Is your wife the one filming and are there others in your crew. Another quick question, I am deathly allergic to eggs and every time I say mai khai here in the states I normally get a confused look, then have to describe my plight. Am I saying it wrong?

I think you already been in Thailand for so long. hahaha i know when you start eating pure chili and put the vinegar to mix with sweet pork. i am Thai people but living in Tokyo. so i envy you so much now. i like Khao Ka Moo so much. if you have chance to go to MBK. try the one on the food court on the top floor. Kamoo Trok soong. i think they still sell it. i like that branch most.

Just back from eating at the cowboy lady. I didn't enjoy the food because it was served quite cold. You know how food with fatty elements taste when it's cold. Not good. Only the rice was slightly warm. Nevertheless, it is very crowded there because of all the social media hype. It's overrated in my opinion. No regrets though. You have to try everything at least once.

oye Mark I noticed the spoon fork combo as well as the chop sticks in your videos. is there a rule as what to use and when? In the Caribbean we do (well in my time on the islands as a kid) spoon. moving to north america I had to quickly get comfortable with the knife and fork or stand out. 20 years later and a spoon (other than eating soup) feels weird.

Amazing stuff Mr Mark. Watched few of your videos. I was thinking of doing the same. Travelling in Asia and introducing food and destinations of Asia to the World. Especially BBQ culture of AsiaI see you visited London as well. Let me know when u r next around in town as I am based in London. Kind Regards, Sean KwonA. k. a. Sean Kwonnery

Another great video. A couple of months ago I saw the pics and write-up on your blog and hoped a video would be forthcoming. A visit to the lady in the cowboy hat is on my list when I finally make it to Thailand. BTW, your wife did a nice job with Cowboy Hat Lady over your left shoulder and the egg peelers on your right.

These are great ideas for restaurants for regular meals but for those of you that are couples or lucky enough to meet someone and want to go somewhere special for date night check out the vid I did on the restaurant they have by the water (that is also on a nearby mountain in a flower garden.

The lady still had the cowboy hat on when we ate her excellent pork knuckle with rice and egg December '14. What a fantastic dish, and we loved the casual location. In some kind of broken Thai to English conversation we had, its clear this video has made her famous to visitors. Bravo
