What to expect
Expect a full day of eating punctuated by walking and floating. You'll start early with a substantial breakfast, then move through neighbourhoods on foot, stopping at markets and vendors to taste regional specialities. A long-tail boat ride breaks up the day, offering views of stilt houses and quieter waterways. By lunch you'll have sampled several dishes; dessert rounds things out. The pace is leisurely but involves a moderate amount of standing and walking in humid conditions. Tasting menus and locations shift based on what's available that day.
