thanks for this.... i don't see a link to the cooking tour?

It's at the end of the post: http://bangkokfoodtours.com/

Thanks for this Michael, I may give this a go. How long did it last?

Looks yummy, Michael. I'd be interested in the name/location of the duck restaurant and the Thai restaurant that serves roti with the green chicken curry.

thanks for the link

We're not usually interested in tours but this one sounds perfect for us. Thanks.

We're also not usually tour people but I really like the sound of this. Thanks for posting the info!

The tour lasts three hours - 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. They also have a new night tour of Chinatown.

The name of the duck place is Wiang Pochana, but the sign is only in Thai. It's a short way up a soi across from Centre Point Silom.

The roti with green curry place is Kalapreuk - the 'original' one, not the ones opened in shopping malls by relatives of the founder. It's on Soi Pramuan off Silom.

Thank you, Michael!

This sounds very appealing.

Love your website by the way Michael.

Excellent information, thanks a lot Michael, 1st class photos too. The Green curry looked really great, made my mouth water.
Now if only I could figure out a way of marking and saving this post for referal say a year from now. (any advice on that?)

This sounds great Michael. I'm not a fan of tours usually but this would be very interesting. The Chinatown one sounds good too. I'll be in Bangkok for a good bit of July so will make sure we do at least one of them.

We have often stayed in Bang Rak area and used a number of the small restaurants so I'll be pleased to learn more. Love duck and we usually visit a small place at the end of a small soi opposite Robinsons - wonder if its the same place as I've never known its name. This year we are staying down at the Watermark building so its quite convenient to Bang Rak - will be good to learn a few more eateries.

Many thanks HappyTrvir - this is great. There are so many posts that I want to re visit prior to a trip. Wish I'd figured this out some time ago, but never too late to learn.

Again Michael, really appreciate your posting this and still sad that we never got to meet 2 years ago in BKK, when dh became ill and I was not comfortable getting to the meeting venue alone . Still, I'm still looking at a return trip.

Makes me want to return to Bangkok! Love the Thai food.

Thank you for this tour info! Can't wait to experience this.

I am just back from a short trip to Bangkok, and have to say that this tour was the highlight! They take up to 12 people; we had a full group, which was a very interesting international mix of friendly people, and two guides. Walked around interesting neighborhoods and went into small local restaurants, sitting down at five different tasting spots, all different, took a ferry across the river for one especially tasty sampling. Guide and her assistant shared a lot of interesting cultural information as we walked, and it was a wonderful way to see the city and taste a variety of food. Outstanding value.

Just returned from Bangkok. We did the Bangrak three hour food walking tour tour. I highly recommend it. We tasted some great food and went to places off the beaten path that we would never have ventured into if we didn't have a guide to lead us. Our guide was Nucci.

I second this endorsement. I did the same tour in February - don't have my notes handy to remember the guides name but he was great. It was well organized and a fun intro to Bangrak. I had just come from two weeks of cooking in Chiang Mai and Fang with some pros, but this tour was easy and fun and not at all too touristy for someone who loves food. Very nice intro into some areas of Bangkok that newbies might find intimidating. I headed back the next day to eat more. I loved that the guide, tho well rehearsed, did not seem overly so. For the price - do it!

Hubbie is a foodie and I am not. I just gave him the link and he thought it looked great. I said he can do that one day or night whilst I do something 'girly' like a spa treatment or shopping. Thanks for the info.

We also had a great time with BKK Food Tours. We did it in January. I think learning the history of the areas and general information provided by the guide as u walked and at the various locations was very interesting. Here's a link to my thread that discusses it in more detail.

I posted about how I'll be going in December. Thanks for this, I'll def read it.

We also enjoyed the Bangkok Food Tour, and had a wonderful guide, Olive or Oleaf?. We were a group of three with a young Australian woman,my husband and me. We even returned to one of the tour stops the next day.

I did this tour recently too. It's fantastic. Olive was my guide. I'm based in Tokyo, go to Bangkok often for business, and was looking for a unique cultural experience. This is a new company. It was great and I learned a lot. The best tour they offer is the full day off beat floating markets tour offered only on weekends. They go to secret spots, not the tourist spots. Very cool and you will learn a lot about Thai food and culture. Be sure to ask for Olive as your guide for both tours. She's wonderful.
