Bangkok Night Michelin Foodie Tour in Chinatown with 15+ tastings

5.Bangkok Night Michelin Foodie Tour in Chinatown with 15+ tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 189 reviews · from $56

Meet your guide at Wat Mangkon Station for a small-group food walk through Yaowarat. Expect 15+ tastings, including dumplings, dim sum, pad Thai, fishball noodles, mango sticky rice, and fried doughnuts. Guides such as Kwan, Shin, Chris, and Poon add food notes and local context. Come hungry, wear good walking shoes, and expect crowds.

“Kwan was our guide and was very knowledgeable and friendly. We tried a lot of different foods, ensure you come with an empty stomach as we were stuffed by the end! However some of the items listed on the itinerary didn’t take place but assume this is adapted accordingly on the day. Would recommend to attempt to try different options where there is so much variety! Be mindful that Chinatown is extremely busy which can be quite overwhelming for those with sensory issues. However Kwan ensures everyone is kept together and looked after us well :)”
