We loved our tour with Nicha! She helped us order foods that were perfect for us as pescatarians, and showed us parts of Bang Rak that we never could have accessed without her guidance. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bangkok!
We absolutely loved our tour with Sarida!!! She was so so nice and clearly loves food and sharing about her culture. We had a blast with her exploring Bang Rak and the surrounding area and eating so much delicious food. It was super interesting learning about the different influences on Thai food in Bangkok and seeing the markets, food stalls, locals eating on the side of the road, and so much more. Plus the food was DELICIOUS! My favorite was the larb moo (ground pork salad) and getting to try things from drinks to snacks to main dishes to dessert. Such a great day and Sarida (Sally) was hysterical and wonderful and we truly enjoyed every minute. Thank you Sarida!!!!
My wife and I had a lovely time with our guide Sally who was very engaging, friendly, and fun. We walked briefly between stops and tried many different foods. It was a great evening.
This tour was just myself and my guide, Sally. She did a great job! I let her know that I had been on a different food tour earlier in the week and she made sure that I got to try different things from that one. The map with basic phrases was helpful to keep track of where we went so I can come back later. Highly recommended!
I booked a tour, followed all the instructions, and yet the guide never showed up. It was my last evening in Bangkok, and I wasted hour waiting for someone who never appeared. They offered was a refund—which doesn't help after losing an entire evening. This is a total scandal. My time was wasted, and my last night in Bangkok was ruined. I will never use their services again and warn everyone to stay away from this company Bangkok Food Tour of Bang Rak with Local Guide , Operated by: Taste of Thailand

An amazing day out in Thailand. The guide was very friendly a knowledgeable. A wide variety of interesting food. Come hungry there is a LOT
Awesome food tour with a great variety of authentic dishes that I wouldn’t have found or tried otherwise. Thank you!
Great way to experience the city and really taste the culture. Our guide even went out of her way to help once we got stuck in Bangkok traffic on the way to the meeting point.
Ohm was an excellent guide. His English was impeccable (he had a scholarship to study in USA for a year) and he patiently taught us a few words of Thai as we went along. He explained about the dishes, snacks, fruit and drinks that we tried (and sheltered us from the showers with his umbrella!) and told us about the Bang Rak area and something of the history and customs of eating and drinking Thai style. We had more than enough to eat and drink over the course of the tour, having skipped lunch. We certainly could not have finished all of each dish. I am vegetarian and he ensured appropriate dishes were served so that I felt I was still getting a full experience, not just ‘with the meat left out’. My only reason for not giving five stars is that in my communication with Taste of Thailand before booking I had said that we wanted a tour where were part of a small group rather than just a private tour for the two of us. Perhaps some people would feel that the fact there were only the two of us with our own guide was a ‘bonus’ but we like the opportunity to meet other people and not be the sole focus of attention. It would have been courteous, I think, to let us know in advance that there were no others booked on the tour, but of course this is a management issue, and in the end Ohm put us at our ease and ensured we had a pleasant and relaxed evening.
We had a great food tour with our guide Ohm. He was very knowledgeable and he explained a lot about local food. Our favorite was the roti with pandan with banana inside. Food was delicious, we were very happy with our experience.
