Food forms a central part of any social occasion in Thailand. This is partly due to the friendly, social nature of Thai people, but also because of the way in which food is ordered and eaten in Thailand. In many Western countries, a normal restaurant meal consists of a starter followed by the main course and then a dessert, with each person ordering only for him or herself. In Thailand there is no such thing as a starter, neither is there any dish that belongs only to one person. All dishes are shared and enjoyed together. During this 2-hour tour you will learn more about all the food and snacks offered in Bangkok’s Chinatown, the world’s most renowned street food destination and one of the most popular dining neighborhoods. It is the biggest evening street food market in Bangkok, with too many things to see and to eat that even Thais find it difficult and overwhelming to navigate unless they are locals. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 10 PERSONS.

Good to know

  • Maximum number of participants per group is 10 persons.
  • Bangkok’s traffic is often heavily congested, so we kindly ask all guests to arrive on time. We recommend taking the MRT (metro) to metro station Wat Mangkon which is close to the meeting point. As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
  • Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
  • Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
  • This tour is not suitable for vegetarians.
