All the details

The best street food evening in Bangkok
Chinatown (Yaowarat) is the most famous street food district in the world, the New York Times and the Guardian regularly write about it. You can eat there for 50-100 THB per dish, standing in the street, surrounded by neon lights and wok fumes.
What makes the evening special
- Tuk tuk: experience in itself, 3-4 tuk tuks in convoy, classic photos of Bangkok.
- Connoisseur guide: he selects sellers (some for 40-50 years) that you would not find alone.
- Michelin Star: Bangkok gave its first star to a street stand in 2018. Our tour lets you discover it.
Our advice
- Casual outfit + closed shoes (you walk a little between each stand).
- Come hungry, skipping lunch is recommended.
- Cash 300-500 THB for personal purchases (extra water, souvenirs, beers).
Tip: Chinatown in the evening = queue at Jay Fai (the Michelin stand). The guide goes first (partnership), an advantage you wouldn't have alone.
Before you go
Good to know
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Comfortable shoes, light breathable clothing, water and a small backpack for the day.
