Make your way to the Hua Lamphong MRT station, where you’ll meet a local guide for your evening departure. Get an introduction to Chinatown cuisine as you walk into the bustling neighborhood, which was founded by Chinese merchants in the late 18th century.

You’ll visit a series of 12 street food stalls to taste some Chinatown specialties, exploring the way that local cooks blend Thai and Chinese flavors to create the neighborhood's characteristic cuisine. The menu will include some small-bites dim sum, peppery soup with crispy pork, seafood prepared with a Thai “killer sauce”, and bitter tea, which many locals drink for it’s healthful properties. Your guide will share stories about Chinatown history and culture along the way, and you’ll stop by some Chinatown landmarks, including Wat Tri Mitr, the Temple of the Golden Buddha.

At the end of the walking tour, walk back to the Hua Lamphong MRT station, where the evening concludes.

      Great food tour. We got some history of China town, walked all over to see the sights and night life, and got to try a good variety of Bangkok cuisine. Recommend if you want a Chinatown flare on Thailand.

      Alice was amazing. The tour was phenomenal - had a large selection of different and tasty food during our Chinatown food tour. I would do this tour again and would dive straight for the pepper soup
      The guide was enthusiastic...

      The guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very attentive. The food was great of course. Besides getting very full we got to experience foods we wouldn't have found on our own
      I tried to read a lot of reviews...

      I tried to read a lot of reviews about this trip and got a lot of mixed messages. Some of the reviews said that the trip picked up and dropped off at the hotel. This was not true. I took a cab to meet the group and showed up about 10 minutes before the scheduled tour. I had to ask the hotel and security outside if they knew anything about it at all, because there was no sign or anything. I finally saw a woman wearing a badge so I asked her if she was conducting the food tour. She looked at me like I had three heads, but then said Food Experience. Her English was horrendous, so to speak. She was really, really hard to understand, but she knew where she was going and took us to the places that were on the list. The second secret location was a drink shop and they served us the nastiest tasting drink I've ever had in my life. There was a man on the tour who actually left in between the first and second stop on the tour, because it was his last night in Bangkok and he said he'd rather be doing something more exciting. Overall, the places that we went to were good, the tour was okay, and the guide was pretty horrendous. The people on the tour made it more fun that it was, as I went alone looking for something exciting to do that night.
