Here’s something a bit different that’s trending up north in Chiang Mai.
From a gorgeous, antique-filled house with lush green garden,
Bombay Hut (090-252-0563,
www.fb.com/BombayHutByChefChang) offers multi-course meals that chart home-style yet complex Thai and Indian flavors.
The restaurant is reservation-only, with lunch starting at B280/person and dinner at B550/person. When you call to book you can request popular dishes like a zesty raw mango salad, liver pate or chicken curry roti; otherwise you’re leaving it up to chef Kroongtana "Chang" Nimnu to craft your menu, which could feature anything from a chicken green korma to wild rice pudding.
Finish off with a heady masala chai tea.
