About Taste of Thailand Food Tours

Embarking on a street food tour is an adventure worth trying. The experience is made even more memorable with a great host, who not only introduces you to the local cuisine but also guides you through the beautiful sights of the city at night. The first meal and dessert are often the highlights of the tour, with the street food offering a variety of flavors to tantalize your taste buds. However, not all dishes may be to everyone's liking, such as the congee, but it does provide a good laugh when watching a friend try it for the first time. The tour also includes a fun ride around the city in a tuk tuk, adding to the overall experience.

A tour of Ayutthaya, based on Thai food, is another excellent option for food lovers. The guide provides a great overview of the ancient history of Siam through the food, leading you from one wonderful food place to another, interspersed with visits to temples. The tour offers a chance to sample true Thai food cooked the Thai way for Thais, from street food at the Hua Ro wet market to delicious boat noodles at a local restaurant. However, it is advisable to order only one or two dishes at the restaurant at the end of the tour, as the kitchen may be slow and the wait for the food can be long.

For those who prefer a more active experience, a walking food tour in Bangkok is highly recommended. The pacing of the eating is well-balanced with the walking between spots, giving you time to digest the food. This tour offers a chance to experience street food, markets, and restaurants, hitting all the flavors from sugar to savory, produce and meats. With a local expert guiding the tour, you can safely sample the flavors of Bangkok street food, which can sometimes be questionable due to water and sanitary conditions.

If you are in Bangkok for a short period of time, a food tour is a must-do. The guide is not only knowledgeable about the food but also the history of the area. The tour offers a chance to taste a variety of delicious food, desserts, and drinks, leaving you with a full belly and a memorable experience. For those planning a return trip to Bangkok, the night tour is highly recommended.

A private tour of Ayutthaya's temples and ruins, featuring a mix of visits to historical sites and food sightseeing, is another great option. The tour starts with a visit to a food market, where you can sample a variety of local foods. This is followed by a visit to a temple site, a Thai dessert bakery, and a local restaurant. The tour ends with a visit to a restaurant located on a compound owned by a prominent Thai family, where you can enjoy delicious Thai dishes on the restaurant’s boat docked on the river.

However, not all food tours meet the expectations of the participants. Some may find the guide difficult to understand and the information provided uninteresting. The choice of food stops may also be disappointing, with some tours passing by stalls of delicious looking food only to stop at a convenience store for a juice. The cost of the tour may not always match the value of the food provided, leading to some participants feeling that they did not get their money's worth. In such cases, it may be more enjoyable and cost-effective to explore the food stalls on your own.
