Finish time: 14.30
Adventurous eaters will adore this Bangkok food tour which gets them well and truly off the beaten track!
The day begins with a klong boat ride from Siam Pier. This will take you to an old town district which is generally left off of the tourist itineraries. Meander through this neighbourhood on a walking tour and take in the authentic sights of how the people here live. You are unlikely to see another backpacker as your tour the peaceful old town.
You will visit a century-old food market which has been a favourite amongst locals since 1899. The food here is not to be missed during a visit to the Thai capital and you will have the opportunity to try udon noodles in rich beef stew, Thai sausage, freshwater fish curry served in banana leaves and a whole myriad of other mouthwatering dishes. There will be a total 14-15 tastings throughout the course of the tour.
Bangkok represents a clash of cultures as traditional Thai customs meet modern changes. The area that you will visit on this food tour is the only place where women are still trained in traditional Thai dance and you will also see the remnants of Bangkok’s oldest and silent cinema. As well as tasting the best food that Bangkok has to offer, you will also learn about the creation of these dishes and how everything fits together in the tapestry of life for people in this city.
