So you finished dinner and you wanted dessert well here’s a teenee tip for you!! A lot of the baked goods here in Thailand aren’t the best, I’ll be honest with you.

Additional Information

This is one of those local favourites that is absolutely worth a visit while you are in Chiang Mai. It’s located in the Suthep neighborhood right across from one of the city’s most popular night markets. It’s super popular amongst the Thai university students that go to school at Chiang Mai University. The prices are cheap, and the flavours will blow your mind. Many of the desserts are coconut based and are a perfect way to wash down whatever you may have had for dinner at the night market across the street. If I was to ever live in Chiang Mai, this district (Suthep) is probably the area that I would choose to be. The location is perfect, the restaurant scene is ridiculous, and you can find really cool condos and houses here.
