Detailed itinerary

Our evening feasting tour of 15+ tastings, invites guests on a culinary experience around Krabi Old Town. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides.

Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & 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 vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 4-5 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination.

If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Meet our food-obsessed host, as we deep dive into Southern Thai cuisine with 15+ tastings along the way. From turmeric-yellow curries with flaky roti and khanom jeen noodles, fresh seafood and crispy malindjo leaves, fried mussels on a banana leaf, and hot tapioca balls swimming in cold coconut milk, amongst many more delicious surprises.

On our moveable feast, we'll stop by generations-old local joints with warm Southern Thai hospitality - a far cry from the pizza and burger tourist menus of Ao Nang. We'll graze our way by food to street food vendors, family owned-restaurants, local favourites and night markets to uncover the real Krabi foodie scene.

Find out why a giant caveman guards the traffic lights in Krabi town, whose pre-historic roots date back thousands of years before tourists ever set food on the nearby sandy beaches.

As the sun sets, we'll end with a bellyful of memories (and new found friends), armed with the street food knowledge to continue eating your way around Thailand. A short taxi ride to Ao Nang is a world away from our discovery of the culinary underbelly of Krabi, going where the locals go.
