Thai Iced Tea in Chiang Mai costs THB 20–35 where residents buy it, and THB 40–70 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 100% more at the top end, or about THB 50 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in August 2026.
The gap here is a location gap, not a quality gap. Kitchens in Chiang Mai buy from the same suppliers; what changes is whether you are sitting somewhere with foot traffic worth paying for.
Treat THB 35 as the ceiling for a fair price in Chiang Mai, with THB 28 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at THB 70 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
None of this is unique to Chiang Mai — it is how pricing works across most of Thailand — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
