Very fun way to see Chinatown and try some Chinese and Thai food. Jida was super good with my kids and even got my shy young one to jump in and help make the papaya salad that we ate! Be sure to not eat before as we were so full by the end. It was a lot of amazing food!
Knowing you had such a positive experience means a lot to our team. We're pleased the tour helped you discover a side of the city you may not have otherwise experienced. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again!
Dao was a fantastic guide and the food we had was all very tasty. She catered for different palates and allergies. By the end of the three hours we were all completely full. Would recommend this tour.
We are grateful for your review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed exploring the area from a local perspective while sampling some of its favorite flavors. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours, and we hope to see you again soon.
Five stars for Dao! She was an incredible guide on our Bangkok foodie tour. Not only did she take us to the best hidden gems we never would have found on our own, but her energy and knowledge made the night unforgettable. If you’re in Bangkok, you have to book a tour with her!
Thanks a ton for sharing this! It’s always great hearing that guests were able to just enjoy the experience and have fun with it from start to finish. Secret Food Tours would love to welcome you back anytime.
First and foremost, our tour guide Tem was excellent! She was so kind and knowledgeable about Thai history, culture, and food. She was always incredibly attentive to make sure we had the best time. Food overall was good! The portion sizes are smaller or meant to be shared, but this was totally not a problem by the end of 7th/8th course as we were all stuffed. Spice levels are adjustable for almost all dishes. I enjoyed the variety of meals, although I do wish there were more Thai dishes that are less known to Western audiences. I would say that this tour is EXCELLENT for Thai food newbies or beginners, but might be slightly more commonplace to more well-versed foodies. That being said, the majority of the food was excellent, standouts include the papaya salad, duck noodle soup, and coconut jelly ice cream. My only suggestion would be to skip the dim sum as this was a little mediocre, but perhaps could have been the quality of the food that day. Overall, it was a great experience! Great for couples or solo travelers to taste a variety of Thai foods and learn Thai history.
Thank you for leaving this review! It’s great to know the tour gave you a positive overall experience. We’d love to have you back with Secret Food Tours.
