What’s the Plan?
Day 1: Chatuchak Market Madness
Dive into Chatuchak Market, Bangkok’s biggest, where stalls are piled high with everything edible. Grab mango sticky rice that’ll ruin you for dessert forever and try grilled satay skewers. Lunch is khao soi — creamy, spicy noodle heaven. Your guide’ll help you navigate the chaos and share why this market’s a Bangkok icon. Dinner’s at a local spot for pad thai done right.
Day 2: Floating Markets & Street Eats
Hop a boat to a floating market — vendors paddle up with steaming bowls of boat noodles. It’s like a food mall on water! Try kanom jeen (rice noodles with curry) and coconut ice cream. Back on land, hit a street food alley for moo ping (pork skewers) and roti sai mai (sweet cotton candy wraps). Dinner’s a chill riverside spot with tom yum that’ll clear your sinuses.
Day 3: Cooking Class — Som Tam & More
Time to cook! Learn to make som tam (papaya salad) and green curry in a hands-on class with a Thai chef. You’ll pound chilies, sniff lemongrass, and probably make a mess. Eat your masterpieces for lunch. Afternoon’s free — maybe hit a temple or nap off the spice. Dinner’s at a spot known for laab, that spicy minced meat salad that slaps.
Day 4: Chinatown Food Crawl
When night falls, Bangkok’s Chinatown turns into a food paradise. Wander Yaowarat Road, munching on mango [sic] mangosteen smoothies, crispy duck noodles, and durian if you’re brave. Try hoi tod (oyster pancakes) and finish with a Thai tea. Your guide knows the best stalls to avoid the tourist traps. Lunch was street food, so dinner’s lighter — think fish curry at a cozy joint.
Day 5: Riverside & Rooftop Vibes
Cruise along the Chao Phraya River, stopping for khao man gai (Thai chicken rice) at a riverside stall. Visit a hidden market for nam prik (chili dips) and fresh fruits. Afternoon’s for chilling or optional tuk-tuk ride through the city. Cap the day with cocktails at a rooftop bar — think Bangkok skyline, muay thai-inspired drinks, and vibes. Dinner’s included: modern Thai with a twist.
Day 6: Final Food Frenzy
Last day’s a free-for-all food crawl. Your guide’ll point you to their fave stalls for khao pad (fried rice), gai yang (grilled chicken), or whatever you’re craving. Lunch is a group feast at a local legend for crab curry. Spend the afternoon exploring (or shopping!) before a farewell dinner at a spot with killer massaman curry and sticky rice to send you off happy.
Why This Tour Rules
Bangkok’s a beast, and this tour tames it with food as your guide. You’re dodging tuk-tuks, sniffing out spices, and sipping cocktails above the chaos. It’s a mix of gritty street eats and sleek rooftop moments, with enough spice to keep you awake. Your guide’s a Bangkok pro who’ll show you the city’s heart, one bite at a time. Six days of this, and you’ll be booking your next Thailand trip before you leave.
