What To Expect
This tour is designed for adventurous eaters with an interest in discovering the food locals eat. It's a walking tour, but the pace is gentle, the terrain flat and there are plenty of rest (eating) stops along the way.

Don't leave the fate of your taste buds to chance… go straight for Bangkok's culinary jugular. Join Chef Nutth on his epic nightly food feast around the city's maze of alleys to taste hidden street eats you'd never find alone. Trust us, the Pad Thai on Khao San Road is nothing to write home about. Gorge on lemongrass infused mussels, rich peanut satay with grilled coconut chicken and ajat relish, the best Thai curry in Bangkok, and over a dozen more lip-smackingly good things.

Kicking off as the afternoon cools, eat your way through the labyrinth of backstreets, ending on a sugary high along the main strip of Yaowarat Road in all its neon glory.
*Sorry veggies, this one isn't for you.
*Street food vendors take time off too, so we can't promise every tour will be the same, but fear not, the night will always be packed with good stuff.

Sample menu

- Old style steamed shrimp noodles topped with tender pork, squid, and black bean sauce.
- Pan fried parcels stuffed with Chinese green chives covered in nam jim sauce.
- Grilled Coconut chicken skewers served with rich peanut satay sauce and tangy ajat cucumber relish.
- Pennywort juice - an herbal drink that's great for digestion.
- Seasonal Asian fruit like rambutans, mangosteens, and longan.
- 'Workers' noodles. Quite possibly the simplest and best noodle soup you'll ever eat.
