Chiang Mai is a city in the northern Thailand and it has a rich history, like the temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, which offers incredible views from its mountaintop. But is also has regular Night Bazaar and Sunday Night Street, where you can enjoy …
While in Thailand I visited two places, Phuket and Chiang Mai. At Phuket we had some wonderful seafood and in Chiang Mai we tried different dishes at the night market. I would recommend to visit the night markets, also in Phuket, since they have enough …
I stayed around the Patong beach area and luckily I was able to find some halal places -which also had enough seafood options- and some vegetarian dishes were also on the menu.
~SIAM Phuket – Seafood Restaurant During our stay, we visited this place two times. That can only mean that we were really satisfied with the food.

Price: $-$$ Suitable: for dessert, as far as I know nothing odd in terms of ingredients
