Experience Food Tours in Bangkok with Withlocals

"Lovely evening walking around the area near Sathorn Pier. Araya was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable about the area and its history as well as the food and taking you to the places she likes to eat. The duck was amazing, the drunken noodles spicy and tasty; I would never have thought of trying congee but so glad I did. Thoroughly recommended."

"Apica was a great guide , he shared so much local knowledge not only about food but history and culture. We tried some delicious Thai steer food and then had a very interesting local food market tour. We would highly recommend Apicha "

"Our food tour with Araya was an outstanding evening. Arayas choice of restaurants kitchens and dishes, which we never had visited and tried without her, was the best start for our Bangkok trip. She is such a friendly and lovely person and she gave us so many facts about the city and its history. "

"Really loved the tour with Piyaporn. She tailored my tour based on my requests. I didn't like some of the food offered but it was good to try!"

"What an amazing experience! Not only is Chef Hnoi a fantastic guide, but as a chef she has deep knowledge of food and had us try things multiple ways to enhance the experience. She took us round an area you would only only about if you were local and we tried some fantastic food: pad Thai, amazing soup, mango sticky rice and sever yummy snacks! Thai food is the best. Having lived in the US and Mexico for many years Chef Hanoi’s English is perfect and she is a delight to talk to about life in Bangkok. If we come back we will be doing another tour with her for sure! "

"Really enjoyable tour. Sudarat was absolutely lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable. She introduced us to places and tastes we would never have found on our own. We visited a couple of eat-in cafes, explored a farmers market, and sampled eats at various food stalls. The variety of dishes was amazing, from morning glory to the infamous durian (which I liked!), and even some more adventurous options like fermented eggs (which I opted out of trying!). I am coeliac and therefore have to avoid gluten - something the Thai people aren’t familiar with so Sudarat was invaluable and did a great job checking ingredients and making sure everything was safe for me to eat. I could relax and not worry about what I was eating. Whether you're a foodie, got food intolerances, or just looking to experience the real Bangkok, I highly recommend this tour with Sudarat. The food is all included so we found it good value. "

"It was a very friendly experience to be touring with Sammy! He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history, and it was very easy to talk to him and ask questions about the food and the culture. There was a lot of variety with the food (as long as you have no food restrictions), and everything he introduced to us was delicious! Highly recommend this tour program, we wouldn’t have known about other places to sightsee without Sammy to tell us about them. "

"To the point: Apicha is a super nice guy, interesting stories/conversationalist, knows His food and beverages (gives great recs), and cares about your experience. I just kicked back and relaxed while he showed me around. We ate, drank, and had a few laughs. Time well spent. For context: I have been lucky to travel all over the world. As a US child spending summers abroad with foreign grandparents, as a young person with a backpack, as an expat employee, and more recently as part of my career. So I’ve had almost every type of trip, tour guide, and independent traveler experience to be had. But until last week I had never been to Bangkok. And unfortunately my time was limited until my last evening. That said, I would hire him no matter what type of time / trip I was on (relaxed vacation or rushed) and trust him to manage the vibe. In a few hours we saw some of the city by Tuk Tuk, had some laughs eating bugs with other tourists met along the way, had some amazing food at unexpected places one, and had some more laughs with some local bartenders at a few good spots."

"Joining the food tour with Araya around Bangkok was one of the best decisions of my trip! From the moment we met, Araya’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and culture shone through, making the experience both delicious and enlightening. We visited some of Bangkok’s most vibrant fresh food markets, where the colors, aromas, and energy were absolutely mesmerizing. Araya introduced me to a variety of unique and mouth-watering dishes, many of which I had never even heard of before. Each stop was carefully chosen and offered something different — from spicy street food favorites to delicate traditional sweets. What truly set this tour apart was the way Araya wove in the cultural and historical significance of each dish. She explained how food is deeply intertwined with Thai life, family traditions, and regional identities, giving every bite a story and deeper meaning. It wasn’t just about eating (though there was plenty of that!); it was about truly understanding and appreciating Thai culinary heritage. Araya’s passion was contagious. She answered every question thoughtfully and always had a smile on her face. If you want to taste authentic Thailand and learn about the heart and soul behind the flavors, I cannot recommend this tour with Araya highly enough. It was a great addition to my Bangkok visit and an experience I’ll be talking about for years to come!"

"We had a great time with Araya on our Bangkok street food tour. She did a great job explaining the history of the food, neighborhood, and Bangkok in general. She even went out of her way to make sure we arrived at our post tour destination safely. We would highly recommend Araya as a tour guide. "
