The whole experience was fantastic- while the food was the best travelling on boats tuk tuks and local bus, going off the beaten track and meeting locals was equally as good. Fon was a great guide and ambassador, we met some great fellow travelers too. Would 110% recommend

Enjoyed explopring old Bangkok and the restaurants that have been in families for generations. Very interesting, and even though we didn’t eat everything, it gave us a peek into traditional Thai cooking. I would only suggest that since everyone in the group was new to Thailand, that the guide would spend a little more time explaining and describing the different ingredients that go into the dish. Having said that, our guide did a great job.

This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We did it the first morning in Bangkok and it was truly the perfect way to get to know the city. Our guide Fon was knowledgeable and enthusiastic in explaining all the neighborhoods and types of food we tried. In the end, we had 23 samples of Thai food, took a bus ride, a tuk tuk ride, and a klong boat ride, with the tour centered around the amazing Nang Loeng market. Come hungry and expect to leave very full! Absolutely would recommend.

While the tour guide Vanna was excellent, the tour was unnecessary long. Could have been condensed to a 2- hour tour. There isn’t a need to go all over town without any historical or culture references. While the food /dishes are good, there weren’t outstanding. Some of the restaurants were in way out locations that were in no relation to the type of food served. There were just one-of restaurants that the tour had ‘arrangement’ with.
On the other hand auntie Vanna was excellent in getting us to all the places and making sure we got our ride back at the end of the tour.
This tour is for those who have never tried any asian food, and who are nervous going to local places to eat on their own. But in Bangkok, you’re never too far away from any eating places and most are accustomed to tourists and foreigners.

Wow, what an experience. Didn’t know what to expect going into this, but it did not disappoint. Our guide Tom (and Mikey) [apologize if I spelled their names incorrectly] were awesome, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, organized, and explained everything in English so we could understand. We had two kids (10-yo and 12-yo) so they made sure the kids were accommodated and needs met.
The amount of food was a LOT (even for me who loves to eat and has a huge appetite). Do not eat breakfast and make sure to wear your stretchy pants (haha!).
It was also nice to get to experience a river canal boat ride, tuk tuk, and city bus. I would recommend to do this tour early on in your trip to Bangkok so you can get a lay of the land. It will make the rest of your trip a little easier.
Thank you!!

We had a wonderful experience with this tour; Tom was not only knowledgeable, but also very friendly, and full of energy! He shared so much information about Thai cuisine but also about how the food is made, as well as Thai culture and language. Paeng, who was working with him and making sure everything was ready when we arrived was also a bit help. They both were super smiling, kind and spoke great English.
Regarding the food it was super tasty and definitely different than what we had tried before. We had already been in Bangkok for a few days and still we only tasted new things.
Finally, the group was small (only 5 guest) and all the other people were really nice.
To sum up; this experience is highly recommended 🙂 thanks again!

This is an excellent tour of parts of Bangkok that the tourists do not visit – pretty much solely locals. Food aside (and there was lots we had never tried on numerous visits to Bangkok) – we also encountered the water taxi on a klong (city canal) which we didn’t know even existed – again on countless visits to Bangkok.
Our guide Ant – was fabulous as well Arm who got the tables set up etc.
Food wise – so much that you would never get to sample unless a local is with you.

Ani and Tom took us on an amazing walk around places to eat the usual tourist would walk right by. Lovely, family owed and run Thai and Chinese eateries. Each dish of the 21 (!!) separate delights were named, explained and put in cultural context. A boat ride, Tuk Tuk and local bus took us around and Ani and Tom kept us entertained and informed the whole time. Didn’t feel hungry for the rest of the day (yay).

I’ve been to Bangkok a couple of time previously, so was looking for a food tour that would provide new dishes for me to try and this was perfect.
The two guides looked after me perfectly and I can’t speak highly enough about them. Very friendly and professional. I had a personal tour as I was the only person signed up for that morning,
The tour started off with a boat ride to the first area and sampling some wonderful dishes, before a tuk tuk ride to the next area and more food to try. It ended with a local bus ride to a market and more food to try.
It all the food was fantastic, you certainly need to go hungry. It was great to experience eating in local environments that catered for locals rather than tourists. It was also wonderful to discover a number of new dishes to try that I had not encountered before on previous visits to the country.
I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone with a passion of Thai food.
