Bangkok Evening Food Tour by Tuktuk

Daily at 5pm Duration: 4 hours

$75 USD per adult $65 USD per child

Tour Operated by Tuktuk

The Essentials:

Go beyond Thailand’s well-known dishes on this tuktuk journey through old-Bangkok at places you’d never find on your own. This tour will show you where the locals eat while we discover centuries-old regional cuisines of Thailand across 5 authentic stops, away from the tourists in Chinatown.

All food and drinks at a selection of sit-down restaurants, street food vendors, a local market, and a hidden riverside bar at sunset. You’ll get much more than a full meal!

Small groups of 2-12 people per tour.

Start Location

This tour starts at Hua Lamphong MRT Station. An email will be sent with meeting location details immediately after booking.

Cancellation Policy

Reservations cancelled 24 hours or more before your tour start time are fully refundable.

Dietary Requirements

This tour is not recommended for vegetarians, vegans, or gluten-free individuals. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but substitutions will be very limited. Please let us know prior to your tour date as same day requests cannot be guaranteed.

This is a tuktuk tour, but we will make two stops where you will be on your feet for approx 30 minutes each. This includes walking through small alleys in an artistic residential area and through a local market.

What You'll Do:

Meeting location.

This tour starts at the Hua Lamphong Subway Station, conveniently located on Bangkok’s MRT line. An email will be sent with meeting location details and directions immediately after booking.

Tom Yum Wontons

Chinese immigrants have significantly influenced Thai cuisine for generations, and these traditions are still popular today. This dish blends flavorful tom yum ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime with crispy fried wontons. Served alongside a bowl of tom yum noodles, this perfect marriage of cuisine is the perfect way to start!

Discover Alleyways and a Riverside Bar at Sunset

This traditional area of Bangkok is made up of a maze of alleys that can only be explored by foot. We’ll walk through this hip neighborhood, dotted with street art and centuries-old temples, and find our way to a stunning riverside oasis with craft beer, pagoda views, and sunset vibes.

Street Food at a Local Market

Stroll through one of Bangkok’s oldest markets for an authentic glimpse into local street food culture. Discover popular central and southern Thai dishes like fried plantains, handmade lemongrass sausage, seasonal fruits, and more! Then visit a beloved auntie for her charcoal grilled satay skewers marinated in coconut milk, turmeric, and aromatic spices, then dipped in her homemade peanut sauce. 

See the City by Tuktuk

Fly through the city’s alleys (known locally as soi’s ) and the historic neighborhoods of Bangkok by tuktuk as we navigate our way past iconic landmarks and to hidden gems. Introduced to the city in the 1960’s, these vehicles have become a symbol of Thai culture.

Northeastern Thai Dishes

Isan cuisine is celebrated for its robust flavors combining spicy, sour, and umami. At this long-standing restaurant, we’ll try minced pork with aromatic herbs (Laab), fresh papaya salad (Som Tum), fragrant sticky rice, and meatballs fried with lime leaves for a perfect blend of these traditional flavors.

For nearly a half-century, this hole in the wall has been serving Persian-influenced recipes that have been passed down for generations. Their hand-tossed roti flatbreads are filled with either sweet or salty ingredients…and we’ll try both! This final stop is located near Khaosan Road; your guide will help you get a taxi back to your hotel after the tour.

Plus More Surprises!

* This itinerary is subject to changes and adjustments based on daily vendor operations and availability, but it will always be awesome.

How do you know where to eat in the world's street food capital?

Bangkok is the perfect city of contrasts. Street food stalls outside Michelin restaurants, stilted homes alongside flashy high rises, and a melting pot of culinary influences that have evolved through the ages. Yet most people come to Thailand and eat the same thing they get at home: Pad Thai and Green Curry. But there’s so much more to offer…

On this tour, you’ll taste your way through time and try Thailand’s regional cuisine that makes up the country’s culinary identity. From Chinese immigrants to Northern Thai ethnic groups, our goal is to introduce dishes that are new to you, at places you’d never think to visit. Hop in our tuktuks and explore traditional neighborhoods and local markets, plus a splash of today’s hipster scene as well.

Customer Reviews:

A third of our customers were referred by a previous guest. Were you one of them?!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much food and drink will i get.

This is not a tasting tour, you should come hungry and you will get more than a full meal of food. If you need more, just let your guide know and we’ll get more, but usually guests cannot finish everything and you’ll want to make sure you pace yourself. We also provide bottled water during the tour, plus a craft beer at a riverside bar.

What if I’m vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free, have allergies, or have special dietary requirements?

While we welcome everyone (this is so much more than a food tour, after all), this tour will be best enjoyed by those who are ready and willing to eat everything. If you can’t, we require your understanding that options will be limited during the tour.

We visit small family-run eateries that often specialize in one type of food or regional cuisine. Further, fish sauce is an essential ingredient in Thai cuisine and replaces salt in almost every dish. Substitutions for special requests are limited at each stop, and guests with those requests will not be able to enjoy the same dishes as others. 

This tour is not recommended for anyone with severe allergies to common foods as we cannot guarantee the absence of those foods or that cross-contamination won’t occur.

You’ll have the opportunity to provide your dietary requirements during the booking process. Same day requests cannot be guaranteed.

Will I need to walk very far?

While this is a tuktuk tour, there are a couple areas that we explore by foot. We’ll spend about 20 minutes exploring by foot in a traditional neighborhood dotted with street art and centuries-old temples to find our 2nd stop. We’ll also spend about 30 minutes on our feet at our 3rd stop while we explore a local bustling market and grab a bunch of food along the way. 

What ages qualify for child pricing?

Our child pricing is valid for ages 4 through 15. Children ages 3 and under are free (and will need to sit on your lap in the tuktuk). 

Where does the tour start and end?

The tour starts at 5pm at Hua Lamphong Subway Station, conveniently located on Bangkok’s MRT underground line. You’ll get the exact address, directions, and transportation details immediately after booking.

The tour ends at our last stop, which is near to Khaosan Road. There are plenty of opportunities for you to explore the area on your own after the tour, or your guide can assist you in getting a ride back to your hotel.

How many people will be on my tour?

Our minimum is 2 and maximum is 12. There’s no flag to follow, or megaphone, or tacky uniforms. It’s small enough to be intimate, but big enough to get away with trying several dishes at each stop. Bottom line is, you’ll follow the guide through a super-local experience and make friends along the way.

Private tours can be arranged, by request, for an additional fee.

What if it's raining or there is inclement weather?

All of our tours are rain-or-shine, so we suggest you dress for the weather. If rain is possible, an umbrella, along with shoes that can get wet, is a good idea. In rare cases of extreme weather, your guide will cancel the tour and provide a full refund.

Do you offer private tours?

Yes we do! If you would like to book a private tour for you and/or your group, contact us and we’ll be happy to organize this for you. Please keep in mind that private tours do incur an additional fee since our availability is limited each day. 

Do you offer discounts?

Yes! You’ll get a promo code in your confirmation email that will give you a 10% discount on all future Lost Plate tours. It doesn’t matter if the tour is in the same city or a different city, we want to keep feeding you as long as you let us. Also, children ages 4 through 15 receive a discount on all tours (3 & under are free).

What is your cancellation policy?

Bookings canceled 24 hours or more before your tour are fully refundable (100% refund). Bookings canceled within 24 hours notice are not refundable. If you would like to reschedule your tour with less than 24 hours notice, we will need to charge 50% of your total since we are unable to fill your spots at short notice.

Bangkok food tour

BANGKOK FOOD TOUR - Don’t leave the fate of your taste buds to chance. Go straight for this metropolis’s culinary jugular on our Bangkok food tour designed and curated by a Thai chef.

Trust us when we say there's more to Bangkok's street food scene than pad Thai along Khao San Road. But not all is made equal. We'll take you to the chef's favoured spots, places that have been serving up hot suppers to the locals for generations.

Our daily Bangkok food tour - ranked the best food and drink experience in the city on TripAdvisor - will see you wind the city's maze of alleys in the cool of the evening feasting for four hours on hidden street eats you'd simply never find alone.

Get in quick though because our intimate Bangkok food tours - limited to just eight exclusive guests - fill up fast. Our small groups give us access to street food stands and hole-in-the-wall joints that larger food tours just can't.

There's no fun in giving you the whole story, but here's a taste of some drool-worthy highlights: mop up rich peanut satay with coconut-milk marinated chicken skewers and tangy ajat relish, scoop up the city's creamiest curry with cured sausage at a backstreet stall made famous by Netflix's series Street Food (it's always been a local hero), partake in peppery soup with crispy pork belly and rolled rice noodles and end on a sugary high along Yaowarat Road in all it's glowing neon glory.

As for the other dozen or so lip-smackingly good eats? Well, you'll just have to wait to find out.

Do you have any dietary requirements? Can't eat pork? Have a food allergy? Please refer to the dietary information below. If you have any concerns, please contact us here to discuss before booking.

If you are lucky enough to have a tour with Andy, you are in for a treat. He has decades of experience guiding both in Thailand and around the world, but he is happiest when back in his home town of Bangkok, helping you to find the best foodie spots and sharing stories from his travels.

Ar grew up in a family devoted to food, as a child he loved to help his grandfather with the cooking, and later on he worked as a chef at his brother's restaurant. Now with over a decade's experience as a tour guide under his belt, he is the perfect person to introduce you Bangkok's cuisine.

Hing is the young buck of our expert team of guides in Bangkok. Despite his youth he has a wealth of knowledge and insights on Bangkok food. He has worked at his parent's hawker stall for many years and we know he learned from the best as their stand is one of our guests' favourites.

Ai knows her stuff when it comes to the city's street eats. She's passionate home cook who knows the difference between her khao khao moos and gaeng kiew wans and will lead you on a gastronomic journey through the backstreets of Chinatown.

Wow. what a night.

Review of Bangkok Night Lights Tuk Tuk Tour Far exceeded our expectations! Unbelievably good value! There were 2 of us and 5 others. Jib was right there at the meeting place and full of fun ready to guide us. Remembering all our names she travelled in one of the 4 Tuk Tuks with us as we navigated traffic in convoy. We stopped at markets and sampled food as Jib gave us a knowledgeable commentary then back into the Tuk Tuk for another exhilarating ride to the many highlights of Bangkok. Our delightful driver dropped us back at our hotel which was a real bonus.

Why this experience?

This experience will introduce you to Bangkok's dining scenes totally unknown to average travelers! It takes you way off the beaten path across the Chao Phraya River to Thonburi and Bangkok's Old City's best night food locations. You will dine on a street like a local and enjoy a rare dish which was a Thai king's favorite food. We will visit a hundred-year-old food market, an indoor floating market, and Bangrak Market to sample the best family recipes passed down through generations. Transportation for this tour is provided by Tuk Tuk. Zigzagging through Bangkok's traffic and backstreets on a Tuk Tuk is a lot of fun and is a great way to experience real street life.

Not only will we feed you food, we will feed you Thai culture and traditions as we sightsee along the way. You will experience charming ways of life of Thonburi, the short-lived capital of Thailand before Bangkok was founded, visit a beautiful temple with UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation, and fall in love with the views as we cruise the Chao Phraya river on a shuttle boat. The night ends on a high note at our secret rooftop bar with river views. We promise you this is one of the best ways to spend an evening in Bangkok. Do not wait. Book now!

These restaurants and food stalls are known among local foodies to be the best Mom & Pop diners.

Bangkok's night food locations totally unknown to average travelers

These foodie districts in Thonburi and Bangkok's Old City are famous among Thai diners, yet to be discovered by average tourists. At our hand-picked eateries from street vendors to award-winning Mom & Pop restaurants, you will rub shoulders with locals and be fascinated by these vibrant dining scenes. One of the locations, Talat Phlu, is a historical food market loaded with heavenly food stalls offering great dishes all day long.

Rare & delicious Thai dishes prepared with secret recipes

Mee Krob is crispy noodles flavored by palm sugar and tamarind, topped with prawns. A great appetizer, it also serves as a light meal. King Chulalongkorn (1853 – 1910) accidentally found this restaurant and declared the dish one of his favorites ever since. The recipe has not been changed for a hundred years, lucky us!

An indoor floating market featuring rare Thai regional food

You may raise your eyebrows when we tell you we will take you to a shopping mall to eat. But when you arrive at this food themed market at the ground floor of the mall, you will understand why! The space is packed with food stalls offering regional specialties, food and beverages, some of which are very rare. You can see, taste, and learn about regional Thai food in a nutshell. Local crafts are also on sale. Plus boat vendors in Thai costumes, traditional Thai interior and decorations are really photogenic.

Drinks with a river view

Unwind at a rooftop bar overlooking the curvy Chao Phraya river with a chilled beer or a colorful mock tail. Sitting on the rooftop of a low-rise hotel in a quiet residential area, this bar is never too busy, despite the beautiful view it offers. You will certainly feel relaxed and rather private here.

A fun Tuk Tuk ride and the Chao Phraya river night views

In this experience, you will get to ride a Tuk Tuk and take a river shuttle boat. Riding a Tuk Tuk is a fun way to see Bangkok. You will enjoy evening cool breezes and street life in this City of Angel as you zip through main roads and backstreets. As we take the shuttle boat, get your camera ready for the panoramic views of the Chao Phraya river.

Beautiful Buddhist temple with UNESCO's award

Enjoy a tranquil temple ground towered by a huge white stupa of Wat Prayoonwongsawat Temple, which got a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation.

A short Tuk Tuk ride from Talat Phlu BTS skytrain station where we meet brings us to Talat Phlu Market. At the market, we will have prawn crispy noodles, pig leg rice, and the frozen egg yolk ice cream. Then we head to Wat Prayoonwongsawat Temple. We should be there in time for a beautiful sunset. Following is the indoor floating market where you sample delicious traditional Thai snacks and fresh fruits. We take the shuttle boat on Chao Phraya river to Sathorn Pier. There, we walk through Bangrak Market to our final stop, a congee restaurant, grabbing more snacks along the way. We get picked up by the Tuk Tuk to the rooftop bar. Afterwards, our Tuk Tuk driver can drop you off at your hotel or at Asiatique the Riverfront, your choice.

*The itinerary can be changed due to unexpected circumstances. We will do our best to notify you if any changes occur.
