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. More details here: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2014/04/khao-kham-moo-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 (ช้างเผือก), 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 (ช้างเผือก) 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 (ข้าวขาหมูช้างเผือก). 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 (ข้าวขาหมู), 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 (ข้าวขาหมู) that I’ve ever had – I would highly recommend it.
After completing my plate of khao kha moo (ข้าวขาหมู), I went next door to the next Chiang Mai street food stall known as Suki Koka (สุกี้โคคา). 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 (สุกี้แห้งหมู), 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 (สุกี้โคคา). 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 (ช้างเผือก).

When you’re looking for great street food in Chiang Mai, make sure you go to Chang Phueak (ช้างเผือก) in the evening and eat at these two stalls.

< theme song of Mark Wien > "Mmmmm ~~~, Oh~~~!!!! "
Mark your videos are great! I lived in Ratchaburi for a few years and even I learn a lot of new things from watching your videos. In Chiang Mai now. I live in the dead center of Madrid Spain and can host if you ever wanna make a Madrid video!
Just went for supper! Both places were excellent!!! Thanks for the recommendation!! ?
You are sick?
Here you look like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber but Smarter
Obviously no one will see this on a 4 year old video but I just wanted to say I'm in Chiang Mai at the moment and went and had the pork with rice from the cowboy hat lady just hours ago and it was life changing. I know that might sound melodramatic but it was seriously that good!!
Mark bows to his right if the food taste good and bow to his left of the food taste no so good.
The stewed pork with lashings of raw garlic and chilli is extremely nice. I ate there four times, one time I ate 2 servings mmmmmmm and only 50 baht.
thai street food is tasty but not the healthiest option
What were the prices of these in USD? Do you remember?
That pork looks amazing!!!!!!!!
That variety of garlic is ok to eat raw? Can you taste the garlic for hours after eating it???
Chang Puek street food stalls are for tourists. It actually is just average. I've eaten better food elsewhere
Mark , when eating at these different outside little food stalls , there's no flies , how is that ?
His reaction when he eats made me subscribe
Awesome
I've rewatched your videos so many times and will never get sick of them. I am finally travelling to Chiang Mai for the first time soon and can't wait to try out these places!! Love your videos and thanks for sharing your food adventures!
Did you just go crossed eyes on your first bite? ?
Very nice mark like watching your videos
peel the garlic first dude.
test so so so good
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.
Mr. Mark Weins i like your videos..and i watch it most of my time..
Did you eat the garlic with the outside still on?
Mark don't go to china for the street food.you can get sick.Google gutter oil.i go minimun ten time, by ship.
love ur reactions man lololol my girlfriend and i watch your videos and we laugh a lot, and also learn a lot from them as well.
this sauce was so addictive – do you know what else was in it?
The eyes wide open, body rocking from side to side, titled head.. are over kill. Do not want to watch your food show no more. Too much body expression. No need to repeatedly again and again and again.
Hey Mark! Awesome channel! We're in Chiang Mai now! What would you recommend!? We plan on uploading some videos too, any tips? Keep Posting!
Most of the times you dont need to go to posh restaurants to be blown away sometimes you find the best food at a simple street food place.
4:30…lol…
That face bro lol 😀
The cowboy hat lady does such amazing food. If you intend to sit down and eat, not take away. Don't stand in the queue at the front of the stall, just take a seat and somebody will come to you.
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.
He looks like a baby dinosaur after taking a bite…
Love these videos though!!
