Kosher Food in Chiang Mai — Every Option Mapped

Finding kosher food in Thailand might sound challenging, but Chiang Mai actually has more options than you'd expect. Here's your complete guide.

Chabad Restaurant

The primary kosher dining option. Serves lunch and dinner daily, with expanded Shabbat meals.

• Certified kosher under Chabad supervision
• Israeli and Thai fusion menu
• Advance booking essential for Shabbat

Israeli-Run Restaurants

Several restaurants cater to Israeli travelers with familiar flavors. While not all have formal kosher certification, many use kosher ingredients and accommodate requests.

Supermarket Shopping

Stock up on kosher-friendly items:

• Rimping Supermarket: Best selection of imported foods, including some Israeli products
