Tae was a superb host and guide. He accommodated every request. We enjoyed the food at every stop and were stuffed by the end! Make sure you turn up hungry! Wonderful experience.
Sue was an incredible guide. Her knowledge was outstanding. The food is plentiful and delicious. A must do in Bangkok.
Tae was an exceptional guide—warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about Bangkok, Thai culture, local markets, and traditional food. His excellent guidance and assistance made the entire tour smooth, fascinating, and great fun. The visit to Pattana Property Market was a real highlight. This was a genuinely local market, far from the tourist crowds, where nothing had been altered or adapted for visitors. We enjoyed tasting authentic Thai food, fresh produce, snacks, and local products while experiencing the market exactly as Bangkok residents do. We then had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Yaowarat, with their incredible atmosphere and seemingly endless abundance of tasting opportunities. Tae knew the best places to stop and helped us discover one delicious surprise after another. This was far more than a food tour—it was a genuine, unforgettable introduction to the flavors, people, and everyday life of Bangkok. Tae made the experience truly special. Highly recommended!
It was great Tae was fantastic and Tuk Tuk driver as well
Amy was absolutely phenomenal! So hospitable and knowledgeable about Thailand and their culture. I actually got sick shortly into the trip (not from the food on the tour) and Amy made sure I was taken care of while still accommodating the others I was with. She made the tour so perfect!
My daughter and I took the tour we were the only two on the tour . Thet tour guide Tai was great it was like we were hanging out with a old friend. He made sure we tasted and saw everything at the market .Our dinner was one of the best meals we had in Bangkok it was delicious. The trip to China town was incredible..
Tae was a great food tour guide! He was thoughtful and took us to Michelin Guide spots like Andy Yang’s Pad Thai, the best mango sticky rice, Thai food at Krua Apsorn, and ended our tour at the Chinese donut at Patonggo. He helped take pictures and showed us around with a big smile. Totally recommend him for a food tour in Bangkok!
This food tour was outstanding for a few reasons. Our guide Sue was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food we had and the ingredients and cooking methods required.Sue spoke great English,and took us to a market where the locals were the main customers.we tried so many dishes and it was just wonderful. We then headed for a walk in a very interesting backpackers area.after that more food at an ex Michelin star rated cart that we would not have found in 100 years. Food again was outstanding. More food at another area again until our final stop in Chinatown also involved a Michelin star rated outlet for the best donuts.This really was the best food tour we have ever done and very unique due to the areas and outlets we visited.Thankyou Sue. By the way ,come hungry and I mean really really hungry.
Sue was the perfect guide. She loves what she does and it shows. She took us to some great street food spots, places we never would have found without her. Great food adventure.
Outstanding introduction to street food here in Bangkok thanks to our amazing guide Sue. So much fun riding around via Tuk Tuk
