Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Bangkok. It is run by CanalTour x ExploreSiam, 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 Tastings featuring over 8 varieties of food, Explore food stalls on the streets of Bangkok's Chinatown, Bottled water, drinks and guide. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

CanalTour x ExploreSiam 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 CanalTour x ExploreSiam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Anna was.our guide and she was delightful. She took us to all the hidden gems we would never have found on our own and had good knowledge of the Chinese/Thai culture. 2 hours was plenty of time and plenty of eating. You will be lucky if you have Anna as your guide. she is relaxed and playful and easy to chat to.

Frequently Asked Questions

CanalTour x ExploreSiam sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
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.
