Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

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.
