- Jojo20300 contributionsA Highlight of our time in BangkokWe thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend. Great to visit a range of key Bangkok sites at night, seeing these with all the lights was magical - the temple and flower market were definitely highlights. Our guide Nylah was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information in a timely way and organised a fabulous selection of food our us to sample. Tuktuk driver Panya was excellentWritten October 6, 2024
- Paul C0 contributionsHoneymoon TripJazzyy was a great guide, very entertaining and engaging. The first food stop the street food was delicious especially the mushrooms! Definitely take the tour if you want to spend some time away from the hotel room and nice guided tour!Written October 4, 2024

- 674camw0 contributionsBangkok at NightThis was our favourite out of all of our bookings. The team was very patient considering our late arrival albeit a difficult point to find for newcomers. Noon was excellent as she gave us an outstanding insight into every temple, food item and market and our Tuk Tuk man was very friendly and helpful. We certainly covered some distance. Highly recommend this tour.Written October 2, 2024
- maahive10 contributionsA must see tour in BangkokIf you want to learn about the history of bangkok, then this tour should be on your list. Yazz was our tour guide. He is very humble and knowledgeable. Loved the tour as we got to try local desserts and food.Written September 29, 2024
- W9270TKav0 contributionsA must do experienceWithout a doubt this is a must do activity in Bangkok for so many reasons. It all started and ended with the most amazing tour guide TAE who is one of the best in the business! His wealth of knowledge and expertise was exceptional and his friendly and positive attitude is commendable. This activity done at night is beneficial not just because it’s cooler in temperature but because the traffic is a lot lighter which makes travelling in the Tuk Tuk enjoyable. The drivers should also be acknowledged and their good relationships with Tae shows a united effort towards providing an unforgettable experience. Thank you 🙏🏼Written September 28, 2024
- DamoM19700 contributionsOutstandingWe have travelled a lot & rate this tour as one of, if not the best tour we have ever done. Our guide Tae was incredibly knowledgeable. The locations visited were great, the food amazing & just the general experience was fantastic. Thanks to Tae & tuk tuk drivers Ergo & Phud for an awesome nightWritten September 27, 2024
- keitham20200 contributionsMust Do In BangkokWe had the BEST time on the Tuk-Tuk food tour. If you don't do anything else in Bangkok, do this tour and do it at night. We had a great tour guide and excellent driversWritten September 24, 2024
- kristiner8610 contributionsSafely experience Bangkok at nightThis tour was beyond what I expected. I wanted to go to the night markets but was traveling with my mother in law who was apprehensive about trying the street food and going out by ourselves at night. This was the perfect compromise, as our guide, P, was excellent in giving us a really authentic glimpse of how Thai people live. The group was also only 8 people, which was perfect going through the crowded streets. We visited: A temple where he explained the history Food stalls where we got to sample some food The flower market ( a must see) where we walked through the inner workings and paid homage to an altar at the back Dinner at the Royal Navy Chinatown - for dessert and interesting stories They then dropped us at our hotel, which was awesome! I can’t wait to do it again with my family.Written September 22, 2024
- 59mmv0 contributionsIt was alright.The tour was alright for getting around to see some temples, but you don't really get to see the best ones. And the food spots were a weird collection considering how much cheap great food is available in Bangkok. The guide wasn't that into food, you could tell. They should definitely change some of the spots.Written September 21, 2024
- pamela j0 contributionsGreat sights but bland foodThis was an excellent tour with our guide Net. We saw a variety of places, including temples and the flower market. Our tuk tuk driver was friendly and helpful. We were even able to have our picture taken with the tuk tuk with the royal palace in the background. The food was excellent quality. We went to both street stalls and a high-end restaurant for dinner. An alcoholic drink was also included. My only criticism was that the food was bland. Only one dish served had spices and chillie. However, this did allow the other flavours to stand out instead of being overwhelmed. We were given a lift by the driver back to our hotel. That was great. It was a very enjoyable 4 hours with wonderful places to visit.Written September 20, 2024
- benjamincD7941DF0 contributionsExcellentThe tour covered a lot of places and the guide explained a lot of history and culture. It was unique doing this at night (when the weather is cooler). Even if it rains, they are well prepared with ponchos and umbrellas. Even cold towels and cold water bottles to help with the heat. The itinerary was a good variety of temples, markets, historical sites. Definitely worth doing it.Written September 13, 2024
- conradm7970 contributionsMust do I BangkokAn amazing time looking at Bangkok at night. Kevin was our gudie and he was outstanding. We turned up early and git offered the earlier time as 2 people did not turn up. Off we went on a tuk tuk. Driving through the streets was great. Went to a food market and had some great tasting food. Off again to a temple at night no one around. Dinner at the navy club and different types of dishes. Chinatown for desert and what a night. Learnt alot about Bangkok. It rained towards the end but that made it more fun. Thanks for a great trip. 100% recommend.Written September 11, 2024

Had an amazing time on a private tuk tuk food tour with our guide, ‘P’. He was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and you could tell he is passionate about culture and food. We had such a great array of food throughout the night and left feeling happy and full. Highly recommend and request ‘P’!!

If you want to try an incredible amount of amazing Thai food, see the city while riding around in a Tuk Tuk, and learn about the culture of Bangkok, then you MUST do this tour. We really appreciated the history and other information about the food but also about the area and Thailand generally. Jib made the experience absolutely incredible! This was the best food tour I have ever done and I would recommend it to anyone visiting.

Our friends organised a surprise Tuk Tuk Tour for 10 people. We visited local, Thai street food and restaurants, we drove through narrow alleys and next to spectacular buildings lit up in the dark, and we had 5 types of Thai food, in five different places.
The guides were a lot of fun to talk with, and told the best stories about Bangkok!
A fantastic way to discover Bangkok, a fantastic group activity, and delicious foody experience!

I really enjoyed the explanations of our tour guide about the different variety of dishes that we tried. Not only the diversity but the taste of them show us how culturally rich is the food in Bangkok. From appetizers to dessert, having well cooked main courses the experience is unique.

Organising to go on this tour is very easy and you meet at the Skytrain station over the river.
Nylah greeted us, introduced us to out driver for the night and explained the format of the tour. 5 stops for different courses plus the flower market ( amazing!) and a nighttime view of the Grand Palace.
The night was so much fun and an opportunity to try all sorts of different foods that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Nylah bought some food and ingredients from some of the street food stalls for us to try and also cooked a Thai hotpot. Lots of variety to try, even ducks beaks ( not a lot of meat on one of those!) We were amazed that the ‘noodle stop’ was in the Michelin Guide and the end of the night in Chinatown was great, so busy and colourful.
There was a lot of food so make sure you are hungry!
Special thank you to Nylah who clearly loves food and is very knowledgeable - we had a great time!

We had an excellent time on this tour! Our tour guide Jib was ah-maz-ing! She was extremely knowledgeable about all types of Thai food and cooking methods/ingredients. We tried so many things that by the end of the tour we had to start saying no to things we could try because we had no more room left 🤣. It was also an excellent way to have a tuk tuk experience without having to haggle. We all have very fond memories of feeling the night air on our faces on the way to our various destinations in the open (covered) tuk tuk. So many of the vendors remarked to Jib that they were so happy to see as it was the first time in 2 years because of covid. We also did this tour on our first night in Bangkok which really helped guide us in selecting dishes during the rest of our trip. I cannot highly recommend this tour enough - sitting here 10 days later and I’m wishing it was what we were doing tonight! Take this tour, do the private one like we did if you can swing it as it’s so much more personalized and arrive very very very hungry!!!

Our tour guide Jazzy is very eloquent and very fluent in English . Was a very pleasant evening with Jazzy . He’s also witty and has a passion for food .
He’s also knowledgeable and knows the population of Thailand at the tip of his finger . Go for the chicken noodle instead of pad Thai. The chicken noodle is just so good and we get to visit the kitchen too . Pad Thai queue is just too long .

This tour gave us the opportunity to eat like locals. We visited a street food market, a hot pot restaurant, a noodle shop, and food carts in Chinatown, for a unique sampling of native specialties. Our guide, Naila, was knowledgeable and fun. I have dietary restrictions, and she was conscientious about making sure that the food was safe for me.

Amazing food, tour of the city by night and lots of fun.
Our guide ‘Net’ and driver ‘Mr Phut’ were lovely and full of Knowledge and smiles.
Net guided us so well to some amazing locations that locals eat at, including a big cooked and baked food market that had the most amazing sausages and coconut bases sweet treats.
If you are asked whether you want to go to a formal restaurant or a restaurant under a bridge with blue plastic chairs, choose under the bridge. You won’t regret it.
We had amazing time and loved walking around the 24hr flower wholesale market on our way to one of the food stops.
I’d recommend Net, Mr Phut and the trip 1000%

Our tour guide Jibbs made the whole experience. Her passion for her home really came through and made the food all that much more special. Two words of advice: 1) come HUNGRY, you will eat a ton, and 2) ask for Jibbs. She seriously did an amazing job showing us the hidden gems of her city.

Very easy. The tour guide normally arranges for the tuk tuk to drop you back to your hotel. Otherwise, Uber is used widely in Bangkok.
