Thonburi Food & Canals Adventure
We meet at BTS Talat Phlu station. Then, a short ride on a minibus brings us to Talat Phlu where you have Chinese chive dumplings, beef soup, and a Thai snack. Walking through a temple, we reach the second wet market. Your traditional Thai coffee and Chinese fried dough stop is here. Then the long-tail boat ride begins. We will stop at Artist House, a charming art gallery and coffee shop where we have river prawns in red curry and pig organs in peppery rolled noodle soup nearby.
We get back on the boat, leave Thonburi's network of canals behind, and continue on Chao Phraya river. Get your camera ready for the panoramic view of the Grand Palace and Wat Arun Temple. We get off the boat at Wang Lang Market. Here we will eat at a Northeastern Thai restaurant. You will get to try spicy raw papaya salad, grilled chicken, sticky rice, to name a few. Your local food adventure finishes with a dessert, tapioca threads in iced coconut milk syrup. Our tour guide will then take you to Wang Lang pier and give you a direction to take a boat back to the BTS skytrain. Or you may visit close-by attractions, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun Temple. The tour finishes at the pier.

Try from Chinese chive dumplings, to beef soup, Thai desserts, traditional Thai coffee, pig organs in peppery rolled noodle soup, spicy raw papaya salad, grilled chicken, to name a few. Our checklist includes river prawns in red curry whose recipe won the Iron Chef Thailand competition. There will be 8 stops of hot dishes and snacks altogether. You will never know how to spell 'hungry' again!
A wet market is where Thai people find the best hole-in-the-wall establishments where affordable prices do not negotiate with high quality meals. Your breakfast, as it is still early on in the day, will be a family-recipe beef soup, and traditional Thai coffee in an old-school cafe set in a bustling wet market. The cafe where senior people gather to spend their quality time on breakfast before moving on to other routines.
A wet market is the best place to see herbs, spices, and ingredients that go into Thai kitchens. The bustling wet markets also reveal authentic local ways of life.
Wang Lang Market is the best street food destination in Thonburi. We will be there at lunch, just in time to see the market at its peak time. You will probably never see and learn more about street food on your entire Bangkok trip than today.
The Artist House Art Gallery, sets in a 200-year-old wooden house, features a 400-year-old pagoda in its courtyard. At this rustic and peaceful place, you can see Thai fine art and a display of traditional Thai puppets.
