23 February 2025

We had a wonderful food tour with Piyaporn! We tasted several different street foods, a few dishes at a restaurant, and many tastings at the local market. The food was phenomenal and we tried a diversity of dishes. She explained how the food was made, the cultural/regional significance, and the history of Thailand. We never felt rushed and she made it easy for us because she took care of everything (ordering food, paying for it, ordering a tuk tuk ride to the market). The day after the tour, Piyaporn sent us recommendations for local restaurants near our hotel and near the sites we saw that day. As expected, they were delicious! Overall, we highly recommend the 10 Tastings of Bangkok tour with Piyaporn.Fantastic Food Tour

(About local Apicha)

13 February 2025

We booked a custom private food tasting tour of Bangkok's Chinatown with Apicha and had an amazing time. Apicha customized the tour to our tastes and provided flexibility as we walked through Chinatown and foods caught our eye. We went to a few different areas and made several stops. We started with a fascinating tea shop where we tried and learned about many kinds of tea. We were treated like VIPs at every spot Apicha took us to. I got to try spicy foods "like the locals eat", and my fiance got to avoid spice while still having a great experience. We got to see spots that are trending with locals and all the food we tried was high-quality and delicious! Having Apicha as a guide gave us access to culture, food, local insights, and laughs we wouldn't have had otherwise. His Chinese and Thai background and experience in the food industry gave him a ton of knowledge that made the food tour especially interesting. I would totally do another food tour with him again. We had a ton of fun and learned a lot. 10/10 highly recommend!!Fun time with culture and food expert!

What a brilliant, well planned and eye opening experience and made so by Araya. Her knowledge of the local spots, food and Thailand makes this experience truly worth while. Her attention and respect to those on tour and people around her is noticeable. Whilst it was a food tour we chatted about the history and future of Thailand, all very important when wanting to understanding the local culture. Would recommend to anyone do a tour with Araya, I know next time I will be booking more tours with her.Another side of Bangkok

Araya was a wonderful tour guide, very kind and quite knowledgeable about a wide array of topics. She showed us places we wouldn't have found otherwise and explained the food and local culture to us in great detail. We felt a lot more confident and informed enough to explore the markets and streets of Bangkok by ourselves after this tour. Amazing tour

Sammy showed us his favourite food stops and we loved the mix he chose! This was not our first time in Thailand, so we were happy to be shown dishes that were not known to us! We took a tuktuk to the market and it was lovely to stroll around and have Sammy point out specific things. Many thanks for a fun morning! PS do not have breakfast, it’s sooooo much food!Great food tour!

Sammy was a honest, young local which gave us a great taste of the local street food market in a busy neighbourhood in Bangkok. We got to taste a good wariety of food, partly in the pathway streetfood shops in a condomanian neighbourhood and partly in a street market with big wariety of meat, fruit, vegetables, cooked food and equipment. We enjoyed every minute of the walk with Sammy. He told us about himself and the local spirit in the area as well as he showed us an interest in our roots and lifestyle. A good cultural exchange chat.Honest walk - knowledgeable local

Das besondere an der Tour mit Nat war, dass er uns die Märkte und die Food-Stände wie seinen Freunden gezeigt hat. Wir haben viel erfahren, gelacht, gegessen - auch für empfindliche europäische Mägen bekömmlich. Nat ist sehr relaxt, freundlich zu allen, kompetent. Wir können ihn nur wärmstens empfehlen!Eine Food-tasting-Tour mit einem Freund

Araya chose two fascinating food markets, including famous Or Tor Kor market (considered one of the best in the world). She toured us around, explaining, offering little tastes of fruits and snacks. Lots of insight into Thai food culture and life in Bangkok. At the end of the walk through much of the market, she said, “Now, please pick six foods that caught your fancy, and I’ll go get them for you.” Tough to choose, but we managed! Araya’s tour was calm, beautiful and tasty. Very highly recommendedSuperb food market tour with charming host

11 January 2025

Nok is an amazing guide. She took the time to figure out our taste preferences and determine how adventurous we are. Based on that she lead us on a tasteful (pun intended) tour. She has detailed knowledge of the foods and was happy to share. We had a chicken curry and she pointed out the hint of cinnamon in the meat. The downside to the tour is that you get too much food to eat and end up leaving some on the plate. We truly enjoyed our time with Nok and have recommended to friends coming next month that they setup a tour with her.Tour of tastes and memories

Sammy war ein netter Kerl und hat uns zwei verschiedene Märkte gezeigt (einen normalen Streetfood Markt und einen Gourmet Markt). Es hat Spaß gemacht, auf diese Art Bangkoks Streetfood-Kultur kennenzulernen. Alle Speisen, die wir probiert haben, haben uns geschmeckt. Aber den letzten Teil der Führung (durch den Supermarkt und durch die kleinen Geschäfte, die abgepackte Produkte verkaufen) fanden wir uninteressant.

(About local Apicha)

31 December 2024

For a 140 euro food tour you would expect more than one meal. Our guided food tour with Apicha in Chinatown began with him asking our expectations to which I replied some really good food! First stop we had an oyster omelette and sweet and sour fish which were fine to begin our tour with. For the remaining 2 and a half hours we wandered around and were provided with a shrimp ball (we had one he scoffed 2) from a vendor in the market area which was tiny and that is all the food we were provided with. We also had a revolting herbal drink but fine to try and a coconut drink for dessert followed by a tea ceremony which was nice to try. But we were starving and had to go out for food as soon as it finished. I would suggest the food he paid for was around 20 euro! If that wasn’t bad enough we had to hear about ping pong shows and watch him use tinder during our tour incredibly unprofessional. I provided feedback to with locals and were provided with a voucher which although a nice gesture certainly didn’t make up for our woeful experience. I feel totally ripped off and disappointed with wasting valuable travel time!Disappointed Experience

We had a fab time on the food tour with Araya. She explained so much about Thai culture and food,.. and tirelessly answered our endless questions with a smile. We then had the difficult job of choosing which dishes to eat! The tuktuk ride to the Michelin soup restaurant was fun,.. and we just managed to squeeze in the delish drinks and soup. A great experience thank you Araya!Fabulous experience - highly recommended

We loved trying the fruit and enjoyed walking around the market learning about the dishes being cooked. We ate way too much and barely had room for the Michelin star noodle soup! It was a wonderful afternoon. Thank you Araya! Laughter and lots of tasty food!

24 December 2024

Our guide was 30 minutes late to meet us. While he did take us to several spots and we tried a variety of items, we tried neither mango sticky rice nor pad Thai both of which were mentioned in the description. The guide also swore multiple times and shared inappropriate anecdotes with our teens about visiting the red light district. We rushed from place to place, were hurried around to venues that seemed quite far apart as we traveled by sky train and then 2 tuk-tuks. We learned a bit about food, we tried a variety of items, but the tour was lacking in professionalism and ease. Not as expected.

Our food tour with Araya was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we met her, she made us feel like old friends, guiding us through the bustling streets of Bangkok with warmth, enthusiasm, and a deep knowledge of the city’s food culture. The tour was thoughtfully curated, giving us a perfect blend of classic Thai staples and hidden gems that only a local would know. Each stop brought something unique, from aromatic street food stalls to cozy family-run eateries. Araya’s explanations of the ingredients, cooking techniques, and history behind each dish added a layer of appreciation that made every bite even more delicious. Beyond the food, Araya shared insights about Thai culture and traditions, making the experience both educational and heartwarming. She was attentive to everyone’s preferences and dietary needs, ensuring the whole group had an unforgettable time. This tour wasn’t just about tasting amazing food; it was about immersing ourselves in the heart and soul of Bangkok. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re in Bangkok, don’t miss the chance to join a food tour with Araya—it’s an absolute must-do!A Culinary Adventure to Remember w Araya!

Melissa🇺🇸 United States

(About local Saravarint)

26 November 2024

Our guide was very nice and we enjoyed getting to know her but overall this tour felt very disorganized. The location was changed before the tour which meant we missed out on Or Tor Kor market completely (something I had been looking forward to and had no other time to fit it in this trip). Our main location ended up being a shopping mall with sweets stalls first, followed by the mall’s food court for more savory dishes. Honestly, that was disappointing— I don’t need a tour guide for a shopping mall food court. We also thought we were getting the experience of someone else pre-selecting or at least maybe having a list of the must-try foods. This was really left to us to decide what to eat, and considering how this was marketed this was really confusing. We did end up at an outdoor market and tried a couple of “street foods,” which was nice and more in line with what I had expected, but unfortunately that part of the tour seemed like an afterthought because most things were closing up when we got there. Overall, I tried some new things and everything was tasty, and again, our guide was very nice, but this was a very expensive tour and the value just wasn’t there. Not quite as advertised

Me and my girlfriend booked Araya for the foodtour the day we arrived to Bangkok. She was an amazing host and had a wonderful positive energy about her. It was a great introduction to the city too. The food, she selected, was tasty, interesting, diverse, including visiting one restaurant with Bib Gourmand distinction. We also got introduced to many local fruits, rode tuk tuk and visited the weekend market. She also sent us a summary of what we had eaten later and recommended restaurants for other days in Bangkok. Lastly, she came about 15 min early to the location of the meeting and her English was great. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Khop khun krap ArayaAmazing foodtour in Bangkok

Piyaporn holte uns pünktlich am Treffpunkt ab und übergab uns sofort ein gekühltes Wasser. Sie wollte wissen, was wir schon gegessen hatten und wie unsere Kenntnisse über thailändisches Essen waren, so dass sie unsere Erfahrung anpassen konnte. Sie zeigte uns Streetfood und erklärte uns die Kochweise. Sie führte uns an Orte und ließ uns Essen kosten, was wir sonst nie probiert hätten. Auch ein Michelin empfohlenes Restaurant war dabei. Dann fuhren wir mit dem Tuktuk in einen Markt, auf dem wir wohl die einzigen Rundaugen waren. Je nach Lust und Laune kauften wir Essen und genossen es sehr mit einem Local den Markt zu entdecken. Ohne sie wären wir, wenn wir den Markt gefunden hätten, nur drüber gelaufen und hätten niemals so viel Geschichten dazu gehört. Piyaporn hat sich sehr auf uns eingestellt und weiß unheimlich viel über Essen. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und zum Schluss noch ein sehr langes Gespräch über die aktuelle Politik auf der Welt. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben und verstanden gefühlt. Wir haben tolle Speisen probiert und viel Neues entdeckt. Wenn ihr also schon viel von Bangkok gesehen habt, dann könnt ihr dennoch mit Piyaporn noch etwas Neues entdecken. Herzlichen Dank!Einblicke in eine sonst verwehrte Welt

This tour was a great introduction to food appreciation for me. I had no idea how many flavour memories could be accessed with 1 bite of a dish with only 4 ingredients. Nastassja is proficient in English, Español, and Thai. Her ability to effectively communicate allows you to stay focused on savoring each of the 10 dishes. ProTip: If watermelon is in-season, definitely get a full-size slushie from the vendor that's near the of the tour. Memories in every bite
