This little blue truck "song teaw" is a way of travel for many locals here in Chiang Rai. It's bigger than a tuktuk but smaller than bus or van. And its all part of the experience you will have at Akha Kitchen. We come to your hotel, pick you up, then travel to the market to shop for ingredients. After shopping and tasting our way through the market, our driver of the "song teaw" (meaning 2 rows) meets us at the end of the market. Then its to on to Akha Kitchen to get cooki

We organized a special class of Akha Food for Chef Cameron Stauch @globalkitchen. We had a great time sharing love of Akha food and culture with him. He specializes in Vegetarian cuisine so we cooked up some delicious Akha vegetarian food. He's what we cooked: Sapi Tong: Akha dip with vegetables Sha Byeh: Akha pork meatloaf loaded with herbs and cooked in a banana leaf A Lu Tung: Akha style mashed potatoes Whoa Ba So: Stir fried Chinese flowering cabbage with peanut Sa Ku

'Sai oau' or Northern Thai Sausage is a local specialty that you get to taste while shopping in Chiang Rai's central market. It can be spicy or mild but it's always full of fresh herbs and zesty lemongrass. You want to try it?
