What To Expect
Pattaya
Lunchtime in Pattaya is the culinary boiler room of the Chonburi coastline, and Naklua is the place where the region’s flavours are forged every morning. Our feasting tour of 14+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Pattaya, led by our team of professional foodie guides. 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: ✖️Vegetarians have 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️Unsuitable for severe allergies, due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
Kick things off with tom yum noodle soup, spiked with toasted chilli and lime, where the crunch of roasted peanuts meets the silky snap of hand-pulled noodles. Taste jaeng-lon fish-cake skewers, releasing a fragrant core of red curry paste and kaffir lime.

Food glorious food 😋

5.00I wanted to do something different in Pattaya, so I decided to participate in this food experience on Viatour. Just a few minutes taxi ride from my hotel , the meeting point was easy to find. I was met by the tour leader and proceeded to the busy market with all the wonderful sights of the freshly caught seafood, some of which would be part of the wonderful dishes we would consume later. I did note some of the dishes on offer during the tour, this included tom yum pork noodle soup, grilled fish skewers, stir fried tofu with salt and chilli, Issan lamb salad, pork bun, roselle hibiscus tea and braised pork soup. Thankfully they were small portions so I managed to eat all the food on offer. The guide knew a lot about all the dishes and the history of the local area. I hope more people do this and other tours in the area to show that Pattaya has more to offer than bars and nightclubs.
Best Food Tour EVER!

5.00I’m a huge foodie, and a cook, so I’ve been on A LOT of food tours. So far, this was hands down the best. JT was very personable and knowledgeable about the food we tried. He had history and stories of the area. The foods we tried were OUTSTANDING, and included a lot of places I wouldn’t have thought to try. He was also very helpful and informative about Thai culture and living in Thailand which was above and beyond just guiding a tour. I highly recommend this tour in general and JT specifically.
Fantastic Foodie Fun!

5.00I highly recommend this tour especially if you’re a foodie like myself! JT my guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about not only the food but the history of the local chefs and the area we walked through. Every tastebud was touched, from savory noodle dishes to exotic seafood to sweet bites, and the biggest surprise in my humble opinion was the tastiest vegan larb and pork belly! I had the absolute best time! 10 out of 10!!
