May Kaidee is famous in Thailand for her vegetarian restaurants and cooking schools in the country. I have been to the Bangkok branch near Khao Sahn Road several times, the food there is amazing. She also used to have a branch near the Reggae area in Chiang Mai; I used to frequent it regularly until they unfortunately closed down a few years ago.

I was thrilled when I discovered that she opened a new branch in the old city! The café is well signposted but it is a tiny place, on the side road between Tapae Road and Chiang Moi. The food is as excellent as always. It’s all Thai food but there are some interesting options and spicy salads that you don’t see on a standard Thai menu. Tastes great and is cheap.

I haven’t taken the cooking course myself but I have heard very good reports on it and if you’re looking for a place to take one I’d say this would be good bet. You can also buy a copy of her excellent cookery book so you can make any of her recipes at home!

This place is seriously good and we are lucky to have another branch back in Chiang Mai.
