Itinerary
Tom Yum Wontons Chinese immigrants have significantly influenced Thai cuisine for generations, and these traditions are still popular today. This dish blends flavorful tom yum ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime with crispy fried wontons. Served alongside a bowl of tom yum noodles, this perfect marriage of cuisine is the perfect way to start!
Discover Hidden Alleyways with Sunset Views This traditional area of Bangkok is made up of a maze of alleys that can only be explored by foot. We’ll walk through this hip neighborhood, dotted with street art and centuries-old temples, and find our way to Bangkok’s riverside with sunset pagoda views.
Street Food at a Local Market Stroll through one of Bangkok’s oldest markets for an authentic glimpse into local street food culture. Discover popular central and southern Thai dishes like fried plantains, handmade lemongrass sausage, seasonal fruits, and more! Then visit a beloved auntie for her charcoal grilled satay skewers marinated in coconut milk, turmeric, and aromatic spices, then dipped in her homemade peanut sauce.
See the City by Tuktuk Fly through the city’s alleys (known locally as soi’s) and the historic neighborhoods of Bangkok by tuktuk as we navigate our way past iconic landmarks and to hidden gems. Introduced to the city in the 1960’s, these vehicles have become a symbol of Thai culture.
Northeastern Thai Dishes Isan cuisine is celebrated for its robust flavors combining spicy, sour, and umami. At this long-standing restaurant, we’ll try minced pork with aromatic herbs (Laab), fresh papaya salad (Som Tum), fragrant sticky rice, and meatballs fried with lime leaves for a perfect blend of these traditional flavors.
Dessert Bangkok’s favorite sweet treat is a sight to behold. Allow your guide to choose the best combination of seasonal fruit and popular add-ons, all swimming in fresh coconut milk.
