กินข้าวแล้วหรือยัง - It’s the Thai way to greet a friend - its literal translation is ‘Have you eaten rice yet?!’ There's no better way to highlight the importance of eating in Thailand in this food obsessed city.

Our tour was carefully curated and will take you on a journey through the backstreets of Bangkok, mopping up a 15+ taster menu in street spots and eateries that have been serving locals for decades. We'll meet at Yaowarat to discover the rich Thai-Chinese culinary marriage that make this district one of the city's most buzzing street food spots. It's not just about the food though. It's about the people behind the plates who have dedicated their lives to cooking on the street.

Additional Info

Not recommended for pregnant travelers

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

Public transportation options are available nearby

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Sorry, this tour is not suitable for vegetarians, pescatarians or no pork diets due to street vendors' limited menus. Other dietary restrictions may require some dishes to be missed.

We recommend comfortable shoes. Bring rain gear/umbrella, if rain looks likely. There's lot of tastings to try, come hungry!

*Note: Our morning departure times have the same great food and majority of the same stops as our evening tours. Due to the operating hours we use a couple of alternate stops that open during the daytime*

The tour isn't suitable for shellfish, peanut or severe allergies due to the nature of street food. Other allergies may require some dishes to be missed.

What To Expect

1

Chinatown / Yaowarat

Our feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary adventure around the backstreets of Bangkok. We're Bangkok's #1 food tour on TripAdvisor. Over 20,000 guests can't be wrong. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for strict vegetarians, pescatarians and no-pork diets, due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✘ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal & celiac disease, due to risk of traces & cross-contamination. ✔ Suitable for lactose intolerances. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Chinatown - Bangkok

Many are unaware of China's centuries-long influence on Thailand that has permeated much of Thai cuisine. From noodles to stir-fry, it's time to feast on the history of this culinary marriage. 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. 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 chicken, work chopsticks over slow-braised pork, and delve into fragrant steamy bowls of shrimp dumplings and poh taek seafood soup, along with a dozen more lip-smackingly good tastings at places you'd struggle to find alone.

    Amazing. Do come VERY hungry as we had I think 16 different dishes, all of which were delicious! Johnny was a brilliant guide. Very funny, hugely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our group was only four which meant a very personal experience. Don’t think about it, just book it, you won’t regret it. For me the undisputed highlight of our 3 days in Bangkok. Thanks Johnny!!!!

  • A must during your stay in Bangkok

    This was an incredible food tour of Chinatown. I only had one day to explore Bangkok and this tour was perfect with over 15 tastings. The stops are close together and many of them are inside so we didn’t overheat. The food was delicious, but the staff was also super accommodating. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the cuisine and the history and was also the sweetest person. Highly recommend anyone do this tour.

  • Amazing Tour! Great way to jump into street food.

    Ant and Arm were amazing guides! We could not believe how large the portions were, we left completely full! Very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Chinatown. Would have never tried some of the dishes or vendors without Ant & Arm’s guidance. Do not miss this tour!!

    The unsanitary food tour. Takes you to the back alleys to eat places you would never eat on your own, because who in their right mind would eat in these most unsanitary of places. Just a step up from the filth of India. Yuck.
