I can’t even express how amazing and filling this tour was. I know we wouldn’t have been able to taste such authentic and varied dishes on our own as we got priority seating at places with very long lines. Some were tucked away and that was very cool. We were so happy we booked with them and both of our hides were absolutely amazing and helpful.

Full description

Enjoy a feasting tour of 15+ tastings that invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Bangkok, with 8-9 stops over 4 hours, including 2 Michelin-listed street food venues. In small groups of up to 8 exclusive guests, our passionate foodie guides take you on a journey around the alleyways of Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown - the mecca of street food in the city. Many are unaware of China's centuries-long influence on Thailand that has permeated much of Thai cuisine. From noodles to stir fries, it's time to feast on the history of this culinary marriage. We don't want to spoil the surprises, but prepare to drool over crispy chive dumplings with nam jim jaew sauce, mop up rich satay with charcoal-grilled meat, work chopsticks over slow-braised pork, and delve into fragrant steamy bowls of shrimp dumplings and poh taek seafood soup. The tour concludes back at the start point along Yaowarat Road in all its neon glory. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Thailand.

Important information

What to bring

  • Comfortable shoes
  • Umbrella
  • Weather-appropriate clothing

Know before you go

  • Unsuitable for strict vegetarians or vegans (Sorry! most Thai cuisine has meat or seafood-based ingredients that we can't avoid).
  • Pescatarians won't go hungry, but they would have 2-3 less tastings (out of 15 total) as some vendors do not have alternatives available.
  • Unsuitable for severe allergies due to risk of traces and cross-contamination.
  • Suitable for mild gluten intolerances, but we advise against celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten in unavoidable soy sauce.
  • Other dietary restrictions may affect a couple of dishes, but we will certainly make sure you won't go hungry!
  • Our tour goes to local backstreets where tuk-tuks cannot go, we are food-obsessed and avoid the tourist traps!
