About this tour
Walk through Bangkok's neighbourhoods sampling street food and restaurant dishes across eight carefully chosen stops in three hours. Your guide—fluent in English and trained in Thai gastronomy—navigates you from the controlled chaos of Chinatown's wet markets through quieter sois where local cooks work their craft. You'll eat what Bangkokians actually eat: quick snacks, proper meals, sweets. Water's provided. Groups stay small at eight people maximum.

What to expect
Expect three hours on foot through dense neighbourhoods. You'll stop frequently—eight times—to eat proper portions of real food: curries, stir-fries, noodle dishes, desserts, snacks. Chinatown is loud, crowded, and filled with market smells; backstreet sections quieter but equally narrow. Your guide explains what you're eating, where it comes from, and how it fits into Bangkok's food culture. You're walking at a gentle pace, but the heat and crowds demand stamina. Bring comfortable shoes and cash for any items not included.
Good to know
Public transport stations nearby if you need to bail early. Not suitable if you have peanut, seafood, or gluten allergies—many dishes contain these. Avoid if you have heart or cardio concerns; the pace and heat matter. No alcohol included. Arrange your own way to the meeting point; hotel pickups aren't part of this.
