Northern Thai food has a special place in the hearts of locals, but finding good food like this outside the region can be tough. So Huen Lamphun is a gem of a find, to such an extent that large groups from the neighbourhood return in droves. Every dish uses organic vegetables grown onsite. The grilled, fermented northern Thai pork in banana leaf explodes with chilli and garlic. Another favourite is Makwan-marinated grilled chicken with a peppery flavour and herbal aroma.
