Full description

Explore why Phuket is considered one of Thailand's top foodie hotspots on a walking and tasting tour in the Old Town. Treat yourself to more than 14 different dishes as you make your way through the Central Market. Enjoy spiced rice cooked in banana leaves and traditional rotis.

Meet your guide in outside the famous Central Market and begin your walking tour. Weave through the streets and admire a Chinese temple from the outside. Start off with trying a Phuketian classic snack of spiced rice cooked in banana leaves. Back at the market, your guide will take you to a hidden little teashop which serves the local Burmese working community. Here, you'll try Burmese curries, crispy samosas, and other delights accompanied by naans freshly cooked in their wood-fired oven and washed down with sweet tea.

Go down the road to find an outdoor fresh fruit and vegetable market where your guide will explain the ingredients that go into Thai cuisine. Sample exotic fruits, juices, and other tasty morsels like deep-fried coconut balls and prawns cooked in banana leaves. Continue your culinary adventure with a bowl of rich Hokkien noodles from a little restaurant. Discover an indoor market famed for its fresh spring rolls filled with cured pork and topped with sweet sauce. Try their coconut pork skewers served with rich peanut satay and zingy ajat cucumber relish. Take a sweet twist as you help yourself to a particularly special Phuket-style crepe cooked over fiery coals. Cool down with a refreshing iced dessert and a sweet milky tea as you indulge on flaky rotis.

Return back to the Central Market with a full stomach. Your guide will help direct you back to your accommdations.

Had a great time trying out some very unique food around the old town of Phuket. Our tour guide, Lucky was very accommodating of everyone's needs within the group. Lucky was also well known in the area which made us feel all the more welcome at every restaurant/food stall we went to. This tour is quite the experience and was well worth our money!

I highly recommend this tour. I had such a great time! Nam was an absolute sweetheart and went out of her way to make sure I would participate of the tour even though my ride was delayed. The first dish blew my mind, it’s absolutely delicious and you must try it. Every dish was unique and so different. Nam will make sure that you are comfortable and will make you feel as if you are with friends, even though I was solo. Nam will tell you about the buildings history as you walk by, and explain the dishes very well. It was raining a little bit, but Nam provided us with rain ponchos, and it was so nice to walk around the locals and experience all of that. It’s a very complete tour and you definitely need to make sure not to eat anything before hand, because you will eat a lot! It’s a great food coma hehehe Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

What a fabulous culinary adventure! A definite highlight of our two week holiday. Lucky was a fabulous guide full of local knowledge & history that was delivered with an awesome sense of humour - she made the day. My partner and our two travelling companions equally loved the day experiencing some incredible dishes in a character laden environment. Thank you Lucky & to all the local chefs for having us. Magic 👌
