Tour Concept

Thonburi Food & Canals Adventure

Itinerary

1

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.

2

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.

Breakfast at the heart of a wet market

Breakfast at the heart of a wet market

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.

Experience a wet market and learn about Thai herbs and spices

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.

Delve into a street food heaven of Thonburi

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.
