Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Chiang Mai, built around Warorot Market and Flower Market Road. It is run by TripGuru Thailand, 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.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers tour guide, Coffee or tea at Brewginning Coffee, Food tastings at 6 local stops: Hakka noodles, Guided walk through Ton Lamyai Flower Market and Warorot and Insurance. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Personal expenses, 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.

Brewginning Coffee. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TripGuru Thailand before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Our tour guide was wonderful! We were lucky enough to be the only two on the tour so she took us through a couple of the local markets. It was a treat to have information from a local guide, and her being bilingual was icing on top.

Nice tour around the market. Plenty to see, taste and buy. Well timed food stops. Best ones were the first (dumplings) and last (noodle soup). Didnā€™t care much for the dough shape, but thatā€™s all part of the fun.

Go Hungry. It is filling and the stops were delicious. Watsana Chaiya was a great tour guide. This was outside the old city and we stopped at Michelin Star restaurants. A great first time experience of local delicacies.

The price does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off and personal expenses. 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.
