This small-group walking food tour threads through the narrow lanes of Chinatown, Hua Lamphong, and Talat Noi — three neighbourhoods packed with family-run stalls and decades-old shophouses. Guided by locals who know every back alley, you’ll enjoy more than 10 authentic tastings that showcase the city’s rich food culture. Savor spicy basil chicken over jasmine rice, Issan-style grilled pork with sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, steamed buns filled with red pork, papaya salad, pork knuckle with rice, pandan custard doughnuts, crispy Thai pancakes and much more. Along the way, discover family-run stalls and markets where recipes are passed down through generations, and end on a sweet note with black sesame dumplings in warm ginger tea. To make the experience even more memorable, you’ll also taste our exclusive secret dish. This is Bangkok the way locals eat, full of flavor, history and culture.
