Additional Information
กินข้าวแล้วหรือยัง - It’s the Thai way to greet a friend - its literal translation is ‘Have you eaten rice yet?!’ There’s no better way to highlight the importance of eating in Thailand in this food obsessed city.
Our tour was carefully curated and will take you on a journey through the backstreets of Bangkok, mopping up a 15+ taster menu in street spots and eateries that have been serving locals for decades. We’ll meet at Yaowarat to discover the rich Thai-Chinese culinary marriage that make this district one of the city’s most buzzing street food spots. It’s not just about the food though. It’s about the people behind the plates who have dedicated their lives to cooking on the street.

Terrific Tour & INCREDIBLE PEOPLE - Our guide was great. Terrific and tasty food that include 3 Michelin rated food stops. I would never have found these places if it were not for this tour.
At the end, the guide helped us get a Grab ride back to the hotel & stayed with us until it came. INCREDIBLE PEOPLE!!!

A+ - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Johnny! He and his assistant provided us with a smoothly run, fun, informative, delicious experience. This was a great introduction to Bangkok and Thailand, a nice way to begin our trip. We learned so much. The portions of food were generous. Johnny is energetic and seems to love what he does, which made for a wonderful experience for us. We highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommended! - Great outing led by Montri, Annie, and Pae. Got to try lots of different food that I wouldn't have sampled on my own or necessarily found on common travel lists. Quality was high - lots of Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants and the like. Guides were good about sharing cultural and historical info, pacing us, supplying water, and generally keeping the atmosphere light. And other guests were a delight to spend time with.

Must-do tasting tour - Best activity I had in Bangkok. Aside from the amazing food, they really delivered with the amazing guides, Joni and Katie(maybe wrong spellings of their names). They were charming, informative and always smiling. Also, when they say 15+, they really mean it, we had unto 21 different things to taste. Honestly, great value for money.

A must try when in Bkk! - Johnny and Kathy were simply amazing! The tour is a must do in Bkk: 22 different dishes (insects, whisky and soia ice cream included!) in around four super-pleasant hours. Everything was well planned and organized. The best way to surf Bangkok Chinatown without getting lost, a way to enjoy all Michelin listed street food places without worrying about queueing or booking. Stress free and really tasty experience. Food exceptional. Small groups of eight people. English only. Higly raccomanded for people with strong food and cultural curiosity.

The joys of Michelin and Netflix Asia Eats food stops and bonus durian… Phon was an incredible guide! - Our small 6 person group had a wonderful time with Phon (she led the food tour) and Champ (he ran logistics getting our tables prepared as we food hopped). 15+ food items seems like a lot, and it is, but spreading it over 4 hours with walking in between made it more enjoyable. The variety of items spanned Thai and Chinese influences in Chinatown and Phon ably explained the background and practical considerations (how to enjoy the condiments) when eating the foods. Bonus durian stop made the trip even more fun. Highly recommend this tour, and request Phon if you want a similar experience.

Get ready to be amazed! - Loved this tour. I did it with the family, and we had over 20 dishes. From hearty to light to desert to fruit. The entire experience was well managed by the two gals who did led the tour. One went ahead of the group, making sure the food, tables, water, etc. were ready when we got there. The guide did a great job of explaining each food, the history and significance to Thai culture. Excellent tour!

A tour for foodies and travelers alike. - This tour was amazing, I absolutely recommend! Our guide Tao was so knowledgeable and very helpful. He gave a ton of historical information about Thailand and the area as well as showing us all of the delicious food. We had about 19 dishes total from about 10 different eateries - pace yourself as you don’t want to fill up before the end!
