Who We Are

Welcome to Ever Open Door – Chiang Mai's most trusted guide to the city's vibrant food scene, started 10 years ago with a simple mission: to celebrate and share the best of Chiang Mai's restaurants. What began as a passion project has now blossomed into a thriving online platform with over 1 million dedicated readers from around the globe, drawn to our in-depth reviews, insider tips, and the spirit of discovery we bring to every post. At the heart of Ever Open Door is the Chiang Mai Chef Circle (CCC), a community spotlighting the city's most talented and promising chefs. This section features profiles and updates on up-and-coming culinary artists, giving you a sneak peek into the kitchens shaping the future of Chiang Mai's cuisine. Our readers enjoy exclusive insights into the chefs' unique journeys, innovative creations, and the influences driving their menus. Our commitment to recognizing culinary excellence also extends to our Annual Restaurant Awards, where we celebrate the top 175 establishments across various categories. These awards are coveted by local restaurateurs and highly anticipated by our readers, showcasing the best Chiang Mai has to offer each year. In recent years, we’ve expanded our reach with Suuai News – a monthly digital magazine that covers a rich mix of news, events, and food stories from across Thailand. Suuai News offers a visual feast for readers, with photo-heavy content that captures the essence of Thai culture, lifestyle, and, of course, cuisine. Ever Open Door is your gateway to discovering Chiang Mai and Thailand’s food culture, keeping you informed on the best places to eat, drink, and enjoy life. Thank you for joining us on this journey – we can’t wait to share more with you.
