Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings
Overview
กินข้าวแล้วหรือยัง - It’s the Thai way to greet a friend, but its literal translation is ‘Have you eaten rice yet?’ There is no better way to highlight the importance of eating in Thailand.
Our tour was carefully curated and will take you on a journey through the backstreets of Old Bangkok mopping up a 15+ taster menu in street spots and eateries that have been serving locals for decades. 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.

Ohhh the food!!! Wow and YUM! And the guide!! Could not have had a better time. Very relaxed tour with PLENTY to eat and a variety to enjoy as well. COME HUNGRY. Our guide, Ai (EYE), was a master tour guide - very chill, very helpful and very informed. I always love a food tour when I travel and the hints and tips you learn along the way help you to feel confident in eating on the streets, small alley ways and off the beaten path. LOVED it and looking for the green curry restaurant before I leave! Thank you so much - would love to come again when I return to Bangkok! I did the tour on my own, was able to find the starting point easily and the time allowed for the tour was perfect.Z3493SWkristinm

So worth it! I’m so glad I did this tour. You try so many different things from different locations. The guides were so friendly and helpful. We went a lot of places I never would’ve found on my own. Some of the food is definitely spicy so I didn’t eat everything. But I had the best dumplings of my life and the desserts were amazing. Definitely a cool and unique experience in Bangkok!MichaelJ3900

The Night Food Tour of Chinatown was our second food tour with A Chef's Tour. Which means we were obviously pretty happy with the first! Our guide was Fon and she was just as great as our first good. She took us throughout Chinatown, giving us details about the area and its history. And of course, she told us a great deal about the food we were eating. The best part was being taken to places we never would've known about our own. Bangkok can be intimidating when it comes to the number of restaurants, food carts, and street vendors to choose from. So to have a tour of vetted establishments was simply wonderful. There was no pressure to choose where to eat or what to order. A Chef's Tour took care of that and did a fantastic job of doing so. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to doing more tours with them in other cities!
