Overview

This Southern Flavors Food Tour in Phuket lasts about four hours and takes place mainly in Old Phuket Town, known for its mix of Thai, Chinese, Malay, and Burmese culinary influences. The tour is limited to eight guests to keep the group size small. It begins in the backstreets of Old Phuket Town, where guests taste more than 15 different local dishes over the first three hours. Tastings include Burmese curries served with wood-fired naan, Hokkien noodles, crispy roti with massaman curry, and other Southern Thai specialties unique to the island. The guide explains the origins and influences of the food throughout the tour and offers tips for exploring street food in Thailand. The final hour returns to the Ranong Main Market on Ranong Road, where guests can enjoy local hospitality and meet others before the tour ends. Bottled water and local soft drinks are included. Alcoholic beverages, hotel pickup, and drop-off are not included. The tour can accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians, though they may have two to three fewer tastings. It is not suitable for people with severe shellfish or peanut allergies due to possible cross-contamination. The tour operates in all weather conditions and is recommended for guests above the minimum age accompanied by an adult.
