Description

Find out why Phuket is considered one of Thailand's top foodie hotspots on our morning walking tour in the Old Town. Meet your guide outside the bustling Ranong Main Market, to begin our food extravaganza of 15+ different tastings. Without giving away too many secrets, some highlights include flaky roti dipped in massaman curry, and later a bowl of rich Hokkien noodles from a little family-owned joint - said to be the best in town. Discover another local spot famed for its hand-made fresh spring rolls with cured pork, topped with sweet tamarind sauce. Your guide will venture to a hidden little teashop which serves the Burmese community. Here, you'll try Burmese curries, tea leaf salad, crispy samosas, and other delights, accompanied by naans freshly baked on the roof wood-fired oven, all washed down with some local tea. There's a sweet twist as you help yourself to a special Phuketian-style iced dessert in an antique shophouse, to understand the centuries-old history of royal Thai cuisine. Among 5-6 stops over 4 hours, you'll return home with a full belly, having met our food-obsessed local expert, and fun travellers along the way. You'll be ready to take on the street food of Thailand, armed with a whole new understanding of Southern Thai food cultures. Can't make our morning tour?

Important Information

  • Special Diets: Our tour reflects the local cuisine and street food vendors. Their menus are often signature dishes with limited or no alternatives, therefore we unfortunately cannot cater for every single dietary restriction at every stop. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✔ OK for mild gluten intolerances, however not advised for celiac guests as there are various dishes with soy sauce. ✘ Vegetarians won't go hungry, but only if the guests are okay with having 2-3 less tastings (out of 15 total) - due to limited alternatives available at some stops. ✘ Unsuitable for severe shellfish and peanut allergies due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. ✔ Come hungry, there's plenty of food to sample en route! *Note that our regular tour runs at 10:00am, sometimes we add one at 12:30pm. Only the 12:30pm tour doesn't go inside the market as it closes (but our earlier tour times do!). Though fear not, the 12:30pm tour will have a replacement dish!*
