Fantastic guide and fab food
Nae was fantastic guide, and our fellow group members were fun too. We had plenty of food, would recommend coming hungry to the tour. Nae was very knowledgeable, and having been a chef able to explain how to make the dishes we had, to such an extent that somebody who wasn't on our tour asked too. Thank you Nae for your care and enthusiasm about the food, history and Bangkok.

Great food tour
Great food tour! We loved it last year so we wanted to do it again this year. Come hungry because there’s lots of food. I think we had about 13 this tour. Last years was different spots too- all good food choices. Our guide Elena was very friendly and informative and we enjoyed her energy very much

A great way to spend an evening in Bangkok
Great tour. Got to experience lots of new things we would never have been brave or patient enough to try otherwise. Thanks to our tour guide Kwan!

Well worth it!
Our guide was really wonderful telling us the history of not only the different vendors but of Chinatown itself. You really really need to bring a big appetite and make sure you save room for the mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream at the end! All the food was really good. I added a few photos but only of a couple items

Worth the price for backpackers!
We loved our guide Nae, he was such a sweetie and clearly loved his job! He kept offering to order us more food, as if we weren’t full enough already! We tried maybe 13 different dishes, from entrées to dessert, with great variety and tastes to suit different palates. They took us from Michelin Star restaurants to street food vendors. Nice way to walk around Chinatown too - overall well worth the price, even for backpackers!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bangkok Authentic Tasting Thai Chinatown Walking Food Tour?

Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Vegan, vegetarian food options; and Pescetarian options: not all vendors can provide fish/seafood**. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
We meet in front of I'm Chinatown Mall Undertherneat of Golden Dragon (we will send a guide photo after you book) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
