This is a four-hour walking food tour through the backstreets of Bangkok, focused on local street food in the Chinatown area known as Yaowarat. The tour includes over 15 food tastings at 8 to 9 stops, which feature two Michelin-listed street food vendors. A professional foodie guide and an assistant lead the group, which is limited to eight guests, allowing access to narrow streets where tuk-tuks cannot go. Bottled water is provided. The tour begins with an introduction to the local cuisine and dietary restrictions at the meeting point near Shanghai Mansion hotel on Yaowarat Road. Most of the time is spent exploring alleyways in Chinatown to sample dishes such as crispy chive dumplings with nam jim jaew sauce, charcoal-grilled chicken satay, slow-braised pork, shrimp dumplings, and poh taek seafood soup. The route highlights the centuries-old Chinese influence on Thai street food. The tour concludes back at the starting location, where guests can discuss what they have learned and meet others. This tour is not suitable for vegetarians, pescatarians, or those avoiding pork due to limited options. It is also not recommended for people with severe allergies, halal diet requirements, or celiac disease because of possible cross-contamination. Alcoholic drinks and hotel transfers are not included. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for possible rain. Morning departures have mostly the same stops and food as evening tours but use some alternate vendors due to opening hours.
