A classic - Edit
Renowned for their popular cooking class, May Kaidee is located just outside the Old Town walls and offers simple, tasty Thai classics. Be sure to ask for your dish to be spicy if you like it that way, as they tend to cater more toward a Western palate. I always request their homemade herby chilli sauce with my pad thai and it never disappoints. A friend of mine says May Kaidee’s pad thai is his favourite in all of Thailand!
Read moreThis place can get very busy during certain hours, sometimes there’s even a queue for seats. There seems to be a fair number of regular customers and a cool social atmosphere, with strangers sharing tables and making friends. Really nice vibes.
Because the restaurant is open front it gets hot during the daytime and there can be quite a few mosquitoes at dusk. Another thing to watch out for is insects in the food—my partner said he has picked out at least one bug from his dish every time we’ve eaten here. On top of that, they also serve egg and honey.
Beyond the pad thai, I recommend the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce and their multicoloured mango sticky rice. If you’re lucky, you’ll even catch the owner gently singing to himself as you eat.

Homemade authentic Thai food - Edit
Tasty home made food, good service, in a traditional restaurant. I had the massaman curry 🍛 and the tofu flower blossom bites. Tasty and flavoursome.

Most authentic Thai food in Chiangmai - Edit
Make it a point to dine here every time we visit Chiangmai. The food is fantastic as always, made fresh and made to order. All curry pastes and made ingredients are made from scratch using their family recipes passed down from generations. The most authentic Thai food you can ever taste in town. Highly recommended
Read morePros: Peanut sauce

Good vegan food - Edit
We really liked the food here. It’s a very chilled out vibe with nice service. We had a red curry & a panang curry which were both lovely, but there was no spice at all, they were very mild. If you like spice make sure you ask for spicy otherwise you’re not getting any chillies. The banana blossom fritters were good too!
Read morePros: Great flavours in the curries
Cons: Not spicy at all

Brilliant and informative cooking class - Edit
We did an afternoon cooking class with Diana. She was brilliant - friendly, fun and she taught us so much about Thai cooking - creating different bases and pastes for all sorts of dishes. We ended up making 11 different dishes (this includes 5 variations of Tom yum). It was also quite professional - she gave us a little recipe booklet for us to take notes on and take home. I can’t wait to try these dishes out when I get home! 100% recommend if you really want to understand how to cook Thai dishes.

The place has a weird vibe. Silent, fluorescent lights and stark walls.

Favorite dish in Chiang Mai so far - Edit
I love the May Kaidee in NYC so I was super excited to stop by here. I got the Pad Kee Mao and requested very spicy and they truly accommodated my request. I really enjoyed the dish. I also liked the papaya salad and the Paneang curry. I did find the smoothie a little disappointing though. The Thai tea is good but sweet. I would definitely come back

Good food, weird atmosphere - Edit
The food was good, I really enjoyed the fried spring rolls, and the pad Thai was good, although there was barely any peanut sauce! The fish cakes definitely weren’t what I was expecting, they were very thin and didn’t taste like fish at all.
Read moreI did find the atmosphere in there a bit weird, it was absolutely empty, and the server was singing and drumming his fingers waiting for us to order, which was a bit off putting when trying to have a conversation. I also found him a bit rude as he cut me off when I was trying to order multiple items, and didn’t give any acknowledgement when I asked for no egg in the pad Thai.

Tasty - Edit
Good quality food, very tasty. Portions a little small for me personally. A very small restaurant, only a handful of tables, sometimes you might have to wait to be seated.

Awesome vegan food & cooking class - Edit
I ate there before to decide if I should book the vegan thai cooking class. Turned out I liked the food very much, so I booked the cooking class (for 1500 Baht) and it was a great experience.

Nice little restaurant not far from old town - Edit
I think the food is geared towards tourists as it was very mild on spice.
Read moreWe asked for added chilli/spice and even using it all the food was still not spicy. That's a good thing if Thai spicy food is a bit much for you.
The flavours were great, service was excellent.

Pros: Location , Service , Fresh spring rolls (Poh Pia Sod)
Cons: Not spicy as other Thai versions of these dishes

Great food but small portions - Edit
I would normally order only two dishes but this time I really couldn't choose because everything on the menu looked good. I'm glad I decided to order three dishes instead of two because three was just enough for my partner and I. They all tasted great!

Still worth it for a meal.
Can't beat the red or brown rice.

Restaurant and Class Review - Edit
We had our favorite Khao Soi and mango sticky rice at May Kaidee! The food was absolutely delicious and a short walk from our hotel, Away-Vegan Resort.
Read moreWe also enrolled in the 4 hour Thai cooking class and had the best time with Diana teaching us the ropes. She was a hoot and we learned so much about the basics of Thai cooking. We got a recipe booklet to take home and we had plenty of leftovers. It was such a great activity and would highly recommend taking a class!
Pros: Delicious, Fun activity
