Chiang Mai resident (4)
I believe the answer is:
thai
'chiang mai resident' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for thai that I've seen before include "From Bangkok, for instance" , "Sort of eastern cooking" , "Citizen of the country once known as Siam" , "Native to Phuket, for example" , "SE Asian" .)
