Old-town food walk

Ten stops in the lanes where locals actually eat — no rushing, no guessing the menu.

About 2 km on foot through the old town, stopping at carts and decades-old shophouse kitchens for savoury and sweet. Your guide tells the neighbourhood's story and teaches you to order in Thai. We pay every vendor full price and take no commission.
