I hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready for an amazing day here in Chiang Mai. Before we head out, I recommend starting with breakfast at KHAO by Four Seasons, a relaxed and elegant space that brings regional Thai flavours to the forefront.\n\nIf you're after something savoury and satisfying, the Thai Crab Omelette is a standout. Crispy on the outside and filled with generous crabmeat, it's a local favourite and a great way to start the day. For something to drink, go with one of their antioxidant juices like beetroot and ginger or a chilled coconut water. Both are light, hydrating, and ideal for a warm morning.\n\nTake your time, enjoy the setting, and once you’re fuelled and ready, we’ll get moving and make the most of what’s ahead.\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FomF6PDr1221LAwtEYegD%2Ftts_0.mp3?alt=media&token=5721a0a4-a412-4773-8fe7-48a0286cb23e"},{"address":"Warorot Market (Kad Luang)","location":{"longitude":99.00099639999999,"longitudeDelta":0.07621855349905388,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":18.7898494},"placeId":"ChIJUXF8Lzo72jARQGy1_Bh_wCQ","media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJUXF8Lzo72jARQGy1_Bh_wCQ"},"type":"place"},{"content":"Welcome to Warorot Market, affectionately known as Kad Luang, the beating heart of local life in Chiang Mai.
