So much food, so little stomach space! Fantastic tour of Chinatown with the chance to taste lots of foods that I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. Thanks to Mr Johnny and Mr Pi for making the evening so entertaining and informative.

What a great experience. We had some amazing street food in Chinatown and learnt all about out the food history of the area.
Also went with kids and nothing was too spicy.
Jesus_F, Jun 2026
Loved the experience, from the guides to the food to the places they took us. Two thumbs up to this experience!
Eswara_V, Jun 2026
Well organised. Brilliant variety of dishes. Would do this again next time I visit. You can expect more than one dish at some places.

Muay and Ploy (not sure on the spelling) where absolutely fantastic guides and all the food we had was incredible. Not even the terrible weather could stop us having the best time on this tour!

Ton of fun, Johnny our guide was fun, very knowledgeable, and his English was great. Food was all very good and we got to walk through cool parts of town I definitely wouldn’t have on my own.

Awesome awesomeness
Get ready to have your balls absolutely blasted off with this elite food tour holy moly
Michelle_D, Jun 2026
So much food! There’s a reason their slogan is “eat, eat. Repeat”. There’s a boatload of food. I recommend one or two bites until you’re about halfway through.
Great food, knowledgeable tour guide (Ant knew everything and was quick to answer any questions we had! She was amazing). A couple of us (including me) wanted to try the fried bugs we saw at a random street corner and Ant made that happen. She was phenomenal and made the whole experience even that much more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time with Annie and Om! The food was spectacular, and we had a lot of fun trying dishes that we may have been slightly more averse to without having someone explain what’s in it, flavor profiles etc. Everything was so good, and I also appreciated the authenticity. I really appreciated getting the history behind certain dishes, alleys we walked through and just the area in general — Annie was super informative this way. Thank you so much for the experience and being knowledgeable, fun, and kind guides to us. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about Thailand culture, the people, Chinatown and food! (Also, congrats Om, maybe next time we come we can have you as our guide!)

What a brilliant experience this was. Ploy was an amazing host and she knew her stuff. A very vibrant and funny tour guide. The food was amazing and there’s plenty of it, don’t be mistaken or underestimate the depth and amount of food you will consume. I’ve been on plenty of walking tours, this one was right up there with the best ! Highly recommended and very enjoyable. Do yourself a flavour !!! Get on it !!
Tim_M, May 2026
Great tour! Really cool trying different foods from normal Thai fare. Definitely go hungry because there’s a lot to eat!
Daniel_P, May 2026
This was a great way to explore Thai China Town. The food was great, though there was A LOT of food to try. Rach & Mr Tin were amazing at getting us around the area, as well as coordinating all the food for us to try. Also, Rach's history lessons of China Town were amazing, especially about the 1 Police Station in the area. If you're planning on doing the trip, I'd recommend not eating breakfast or at least keep it super light. Also, if you're a foodie, you'll knock out a number of dishes on your must try list!

Tac was our tour guide and he was passionate about food and history of Bangkok’s Chinatown. The tour was extremely well organised especially with King who went ahead to make sure we arrive at every stop with minimum fuss and queue. The service was top-notch and we tasted a wide variety of food and learnt a lot along the way!
Anna_Z, May 2026
The culinary tour of Bangkok was a wonderful experience. Our guide was very engaging. He took us to places in Chinatown that we would have never thought of visiting ourselves. Do not go on this tour if you are a picky eater though. You are going to try very different foods. We liked everything, but my personal favorite was the green curry.
Ella_T, May 2026
Super fun, delicious, knowledgeable guides (JT and Ninja were amazing). Couldn't have had a better gastronomical experience.
Anne_L, May 2026
This was an incredible food tour of Chinatown. I only had one day to explore Bangkok and this tour was perfect with over 15 tastings. The stops are close together and many of them are inside so we didn’t overheat. The food was delicious, but the staff was also super accommodating. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the cuisine and the history and was also the sweetest person. Highly recommend anyone do this tour.
Elena_S, May 2026
So much fun and all the food was amazing. Would recommend for a first time visitor. Especially great to experience street food for the first time.
shannon_i, May 2026
Ant and Arm were amazing guides! We could not believe how large the portions were, we left completely full! Very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Chinatown. Would have never tried some of the dishes or vendors without Ant & Arm’s guidance. Do not miss this tour!!
Neli_S, May 2026
So happy I did this! It’s the perfect way to get to know local foods, meet new people, and Annie was the best guide!
Eric_R, May 2026
The unsanitary food tour. Takes you to the back alleys to eat places you would never eat on your own, because who in their right mind would eat in these most unsanitary of places. Just a step up from the filth of India. Yuck.
Jeremy_W, May 2026
Was a great tour. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was really good. Was a great intro to Bangkok street food.
Rachel_L, May 2026
The whole tasting experience was amazing, our tour guide Rainbow and runner Mikey were so nice and attentive. We went to so many spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. They explained the history of the owners and chefs as well as the dish itself. Great way to taste your way around Chinatown.
John_B, May 2026
The food tour was fantastic, well organized, informative and fun. Food was very good and with interesting history. Highly recommended.
Amy_W, May 2026
Our guide Johny is funny, but our runner Milet (hope I got it right) was the star of the tour. She made sure our food ready before we arrived, running around get order in or bring us food, and make sure we have water and cool towel. It was a hot day!
The first 7 courses were great and full of local flavor. Good break in between with dessert. The main courses were at a air conditioning local restaurant, moving on immediately to a local noodle soup was a bit too much. Johny explained how the dishes made and gave us some history or stories of the food or restaurants.
Food tour is a good way to explore Chinatown as this place is big and confusing.
Lukas_P, May 2026
This Chinatown food tour in Bangkok was easily one of the best experiences of my trip! The entire evening was perfectly organized, and our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Thai food and culture. We visited several hidden local spots that I would never have discovered on my own, and every dish was absolutely delicious. From savory noodles and crispy pork to amazing desserts and refreshing drinks, everything tasted authentic and fresh.
What made the tour truly special was learning the stories and history behind each dish and seeing the energy of Chinatown at night. The streets were full of life, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. I also appreciated how welcoming and accommodating the guide was throughout the tour.
The portions were generous, the pace was perfect, and the overall experience felt very genuine and local. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok who wants to experience incredible food and culture in one evening!
Chester_C, May 2026
We had an amazing time on the Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ tastings. A big thank you to our guide Anja and her assistant for being so warm, knowledgeable, and for introducing us to so many incredible hidden local spots we would never have found on our own.
Craig_T, May 2026
Excellent food tour. 15 different tastings.
Our guides, Som and Ninja were excellent. The company has this down so slick. Ninja goes ahead and gets the food and tables or chairs ready for the group arriving. This way, you arrive and hear about the food and eat straight away.
The satay, Thai green curry and ice cream were all outstanding, so
Much so I went back to have the curry for lunch the next day!!
