Experience Food Tours in Chiang Rai with Withlocals

"Tep picked us up as stated in his correspondence through Whats App. He picked us up in his personal truck. We went to a market and walked around and he bought a few food items but we did not eat them there. He did not explain anything about the market. We had to ask a lot of questions to get any information out of him. In my opinion he was not very knowledgable about the foods. Next he took us to a local restaurant. He ordered all of the food for us since the menu was only written in Thai. Again I had to ask questions about what he ordered. He did not explain much about the food or the culture or the restaurant. Next he took us to a larger city restaurant market. He ordered all of the food. A woman showed up at our table but we were never introduced. I ended up introducing myself and asked her name. She joined us in eating the food and had a beer. Tep told us she was there to save us a table. I just found it a bit odd!! Very little conversation amongst Tep and the rest of us. My husband and I were both very disappointed in this food tour. There was nothing extraordinary or special about the foods we ate other than that they were kind of weird and not something typical we would eat in the US. I was hoping for more educational information and higher quality foods/restaurant We probably could have done pretty much this same tour on our own. The price point for this tour was way more than it should have been."

"We were a large group of people and had a great tour with Sebastian, he was very accommodating and friendly, made sure we had everything and shared his knowledge with us along the way. We got to some local places that were very nice to see. Very very nice tour with a very very nice guy."

"Our tour with Big was just fantastic. We learnt so much about Thai history, culture and food, and of course tasted some amazing dishes along the way. I would recommend a tour with Big to anyone as an introduction to Thailand and Bangkok!"
