Chiang Mai · Nimmanhaemin · Restaurant
Northern clay pots. Local crowd. Real Chiang Mai.
About
The Nimman neighbourhood's beloved northern Thai kitchen — generous clay pot curries, grilled meats, and northern-style sausages in a warm, crowded room that feels more like eating at a family home than a restaurant. The antidote to tourist-facing Thai food: cheap, deeply flavoured, and packed with Chiang Mai regulars.
XRED EYEZ Guide Note
Tong Tem Toh is what Chiang Mai regulars eat. No English menu, but staff are patient — point at neighbours' tables. The northern sausage and bamboo shoot curry are non-negotiable.
The resort that launched Aman Hotels in 1988 — Thai pavilion architecture on a private hillside above Pansea Beach, a spa of global reputation, private longtail boat service, and an atmosphere of deep quiet luxury that has never been replicated. The most iconic resort in Thailand.
Gaggan Anand's 25-course emoji menu — progressive Indian cuisine that consistently ranks among Asia's and the world's best restaurants. Theatrical, emotional, technically extraordinary. Pre-booking essential months ahead.

Bangkok's most legendary hotel — operating since 1876 on the Chao Phraya river. Authors Suite where Conrad, Maugham, and Coward wrote. Le Normandie (Michelin), Bamboo Bar, and river terrace. Irreplaceable.
