Hop aboard one of Bangkok's water taxis for a short cruise along the klong canals to an old district of the city rooted in tradition, community and food. Get set for the best Bangkok food tour in town.
This Bangkok food tour has been voted the no.1 culinary experience in the city on Tripadvisor.
Wander through a peaceful neighbourhood where you're unlikely to cross paths with another traveller, and tackle a century-old food market that has been feeding hot lunches to locals in the know since 1899.
We won't spoil all 15+ palate-teasing tastings on this Bangkok food tour, but a sneak peek includes khanom buang yuan, crispy Asian mung-bean crepes stuffed with tofu, ginger and young coconut meat, finished with a pineapple-vinegar and coconut-sugar dressing.
Then there's miang kham, betel leaves wrapped around toasted coconut, peanuts, shallots, lime and sweet tamarind; na dpet grob roasted duck from a shophouse eatery that hasn't changed in generations; and kuay jab, a peppery broth with rolled rice noodles.
Not to mention the unforgettable sweet bites to come. Khanom tuay, steamed coconut pudding, and khanom mo kaeng, a mung-bean and coconut flan, are this district's specialities.
