Thailand Contour Map

Spend the day with Chef Andy Ricker, the James Beard award-winning chef and restaurateur, and discover the city’s best eats with insider tips you won’t find in any guidebook. As an expert in Thai street food, Ricker was featured in celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s culinary travel series. Now you, too, can follow in Bourdain’s footsteps!

Background
Since his first visit to Thailand, Chef Ricker began a long-lasting love affair with northern Thai food that saw him open his first restaurant, Pok Pok, in Portland, Oregon, serving just eight simple dishes from his travels in Chiang Mai. His small eatery quickly expanded to New York and LA and became the talk of the town and was dubbed by Anthony Bourdain as “the most authentic Thai food outside of Thailand.” As an expert in Thai street food, Ricker was featured in celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s culinary travel series, showing Bourdain around to his favorite places in Chiang Mai. Now, you can do the same on a private foodie adventure, exploring Ricker’s favorite eats and meeting local food producers, from breakfast at the morning market to visiting artisanal coffee and khanom jeen noodle makers, and snacks at the night market. You can also opt for a private Thai cooking session with Andy at his home test kitchen in the Chiang Mai countryside.
