We took a 3 hour, 5 tastings food tour and Jojo is everything you would want in a tour guide! She was very accommodating to our limited time schedule (even picked us up in our hotel), selected places and food items that matched our dietary needs and gave us the opportunity to try things we would not have known to eat on our own. We went to Chinatown and experienced local Thai and Chinese influenced street foods, beverages and sweets. We walked through many small neighborhoods and she explained the history and culture. It was a very active and delicious afternoon. Jojo is friendly and knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. We would definitely recommend her!!Perfect Bangkok Food Tour with Jojo

Wir hatten das große Glück, an der fantastischen Foodtour teilzunehmen, und was soll ich sagen? Es war einfach unglaublich!Araya war einfach perfekt – mit so viel Leidenschaft, Wissen und Charme hat sie uns nicht nur durch die kulinarische Welt Bangkoks geführt, sondern uns auch tief in die Geschichte des Viertels und der einzelnen Food-Spots eintauchen lassen. Obwohl wir schon oft in Bangkok waren, haben wir durch diese Tour völlig neue Einblicke und Perspektiven gewonnen – Eindrücke, die wir gerne schon früher gehabt hätten! Jede Station war sorgfältig ausgewählt, jedes Gericht ein Highlight, und die Erklärungen dazu waren so spannend, dass wir an ihren Lippen hingen. Besonders toll war, dass sie uns nicht nur durch die Tour geführt hat, sondern auch wertvolle Tipps für weitere Erlebnisse in Bangkok gegeben hat. Man merkt einfach, dass sie ihre Arbeit mit Herzblut macht! Wir können Araya von ganzem Herzen empfehlen – wer die Chance hat, eine Tour mit ihr zu machen, sollte sie unbedingt nutzen! Wir sind dankbar, eine so inspirierende und herzliche Person kennengelernt zu haben. Ganz klare 10/10 – einfach fantastisch! DANKE Araya💚 Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis

Apicha took us on a food tasting tour of the Chinatown market and was an excellent guide! He not only guided us to safe vendors, he also explained a lot about the Thai culture. We finished with a dinner in a very local restaurant which was amazing and definitely not something we could have found on our own. I only wish I had a bigger stomach!!Amazing night!

We had the good fortune of choosing Jojo as our street food guide. What a wonderfully kind, funny and easy going person she is. We tried things we would not have thought to try, tried things we never would have tried, and left feeling full, happy and even wiser for the experience. Thank you Jojo!! My family and I will remember our night fondly. Marc and LisaWE LOVE JOJO!!!

I've had great experiences with WithLocals before. This particular tour guide was a fail. He did not take us on any kind of tour. He shared no knowledge, and had nothing to say. It was incredibly weird. We quit the tour after less than an hour.Not good.

She showed us plenty of great streetfood places that we would have never dare without her. She also explained us so many other things as it was our first day in Thailand. We warmly recommend her!The best way to start our journey

This tour was much more than a street food tour. I was expecting tasting the foods available in the many larfe street markets of Bangkok. Araya took us to local family owned restaurants and local markets. We tried a large variety of food we had never had, all of them delicious. She included historical and cultural information about each food and neighborhood. Araya was well informed, smart and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. More Than a Street Food Tour

Kim (Apicha) really gave us an unforgettable experience in Bangkok! As Thailand lovers, we thought we had seen a lot, but Kim surprised us with unique dishes and hidden gems in the student district of Wang Mai. His knowledge and passion for the city made the tour not only informative but also incredibly fun. We enjoyed the authentic flavors and vibrant atmosphere of the neighborhood. Thank you, Kim, for showing us a new side of Bangkok

Araya was a wonderful guide. We were a bit late because of traffic and she didn’t give us a hard time over it, as others might have. She brought us to plenty of different restaurants and food stalls while giving us local history facts. She also gave the leftover food we didn’t want to homeless folks nearby. Araya is an incredibly sweet person and a great embodiment of the ‘Land of Smiles.’ 10/10 experience, would highly recommend. Wonderful!

I had a wonderful experience with Kim. He was personable and you could tell he had trusting relationships with the vendors he worked with. The experience was more than just about food but of history and culture. We walked, took the local bus and a tuk-tuk to go enjoy different flavors and drink around the area. Not only did he talk about the history of the foods but also the historical significance of the locations of the vendors. As a single female client, he made me feel safe and welcomed. I strongly recommend his service.Food and cultural...a taste of Thailand

She took us to some fabulous street food carts and local restaurants we would have never tried. And of course the food was delicious! The walk itself was also adventurous, with Nok giving history and telling stories. We would highly recommend With Locals, the food tour, and choosing Nok as your guide.Fabulous food tour and guide!

We are a family of 5 from Seattle and had an incredible experience with Araya on a night food tour! Araya took us to authentic restaurants, street stands, outdoor malls and introduced us to at least 10 different types of Thai food. The food was fabulous. Araya shared history, stories, hidden highlights of Bangkok that we feel lucky to have experienced. It was a great overall experience-thank you Araya! Highly recommend! Delicious, authentic food tour with Araya!

We had limited time in Bangkok and JoJo was able to fit us into her schedule on the weekend. She was very flexible with our food preferences and even took us to the markets and a temple when we were getting too full of food. She was very knowledgeable and took us to some top food spots. 💯 would recommend Time with JoJo was time well spent

De ontmoeting bij het BTS station ging makkelijk en vandaar uit op een hele leuke manier inzicht gekregen in de achtergrond van een aantal Thaise gerechten. Alles vers en bij de stalletjes en overdekte markt bereid. Araya weet veel en kan het ook goed uitleggen in perfect Engels (of Frans voor de geïnteresseerden). Je krijgt van verschillende stalletjes te proeven en bij de laatste konden we niet eens alles op, want er was onderweg ook al een verse mango - sticky rice desert gekocht. Voor de wandeling en het proeven wordt ruim de tijd genomen, totale afstand is niet groot, allemaal in de nabijheid van het BTS station waar we afgesproken hadden. Het restant dat over was werd netjes verpakt. Dir werd naar één van de plaatsen gebracht waar voedsel uitgedeeld wordt aan de armste mensen van Bangkok, beetje dubbel maar op deze manier in ieder geval geen voedselverspilling/ vernietiging zoals in Nederland. Leuke tips en hidden places

I surprised my husband with this experience on our honeymoon, and it exceeded our expectations! We were wary of eating from street vendors because we weren’t sure of the process, but Arya unlocked a new world for us! We tried 5 different foods and loved them all! We also learned so much about the area we were in and Thai culture. We would definitely do this again! Thank you, Arya!Great experience!

My partner and I had such a wonderful time with Oi! I really wanted to try as much Thai street food as possible but I am allergic to soy and I also have celiac's disease. I messaged Oi and asked if she could cater to this and she responded quickly letting me know this would be no problem and even provided a message in Thai explaining my situation that I can use in the future. The tour itself was great! We tried a number of different classic Thai dishes and toured around where there were all sorts of vendors. If you're feeling more adventurous there were also lots of vendors selling more exotic things. Along the way Oi told us all sorts of little pieces of trivia and we had a great time. Highly recommended all round! Awesome tour! (Gluten free!)

Nok was our guide for A Taste of Bangkok Street Food Tour. Nok was a wonderful host with a wealth of knowledge on Thai food and produce. She guided us to eateries we wouldn't have gone to our self, or even knew how to find. (Highlight was the duck ... yum) We found some of the cuisine a little on the sweet side but that is OK. We signed up for the experience of tasting the food as part of a discovery of the cuisine. Nok was also knowledgeable about the areas we visited, beyond the food. A very nice lady and host. Definitely recommend. Great Tour with a Great Host
