Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Bangkok. It is run by Secret Food Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.

The price covers 8+ Tastings during the tour, Guided food tour of the Chinatown area with 6 stops, local guide and Small group with a maximum of 10 people. It does not cover Transportation and Gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Secret Food Tours sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Secret Food Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

An excellent food tour with additional information about Chinatown and the local history and customs. Jan our guide was excellent and brought the tour to life with her enthusiasm for the food and the local area. All the food was really delicious and our group was friendly and great company. A fantastic way to spend a few hours exploring Chinatown and eating food we might not have had the confidence to try. Highly recommend!

Loved our guide Jan. She did a great job explaining Thai food culture and took us to spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend!

The tour was amazing. All of the food stops were great - there were 9 total and the food and drink was plentiful! The guide had a relationship with each vendor and we received top notch service at each location. Not only did we get to taste delicious food, but we learned alot of about the thai culture.

Good tour, mainly China Town, knowledgable guide, but more than a taster. A more direct route to finding things if short on time. Mona was a good guide

Wir hatten eine fantastische Street-Food-Tour in Chinatown Bangkok bei Jan! Von der ersten Minute an war sie sehr herzlich und kompetent und voller Begeisterung. Jan kennt Chinatown wie ihre Westentasche und hat uns zu authentischen Ständen geführt, die man als Tourist alleine niemals finden würde. Jedes Gericht war ein Highlight: perfekt ausgewählt, spannend erklärt und geschmacklich einfach sensationell. Dabei ging es nicht nur ums Essen – Jan hat uns auch viel über die Geschichte von Chinatown, die Kultur, die Menschen und die Traditionen erzählt. Diese Street-Food-Tour war eines der absolu

Ausreichend viele Stationen in Bangkok‘s Chinatown (Kombination aus Garküchen und Restaurants). Guten Hunger mitbringen! Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt für Thailand nicht so ganz…

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover transportation and gratuities. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Two to four kilometres at a slow pace with plenty of stops; flat, but hot and humid, so bring water and light shoes. The stalls a guide takes you to are the ones with a queue and a fast turnover, which is the real food-safety test in Thailand. Say 'mai phet' if you want it not spicy.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
