Experience the best travel stories for yourself! Join a local expert and uncover hidden gems on this private Bangkok at Night: Chinatown Sightseeing & Street Food Tour. Join this walking tour to explore and snack your way through one of the old city's most authentic and vibrant spots: Chinatown. Be blown away by the blend of Thai-Chinese food, history, and culture in what is known to be the largest Chinatown in the world. We'll walk down hidden lanes, step into the most important temples, and make our way through bustling markets while tasting food the way the locals do – from street carts, old-time cafes, and market stalls.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
This walking tour will take you through Bangkok's historic Chinatown, a neighbourhood so rich in sights, sounds, and smells that it could only really be described as an assault on the senses (in a good way!). Taking a stroll through this neighbourhood is one of the best things to do in Bangkok, and with a local to guide you along, you'll never miss a beat. You'll begin this Bangkok Chinatown tour at Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station, it doesn't get any more old-school than this – the station is more than a hundred years old and one of Bangkok's architectural gems. There's plenty of action inside with locals coming and going, but catch it while you can. There are plans to close the station and replace it with a modern terminal in the next few years.
2. Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)
Our first stop is Wat Traimit, the Golden Buddha Temple - an incredible sight to behold and one of the can't miss things to do in Bangkok. This stunning temple enshrines the world's largest solid gold seated Buddha from the Sukhothai Era, measuring nearly five metres high and weighing five and a half tonnes. Here your guide will let you in on the local secrets and history behind the Buddha, and the legendary tales that surround the original Buddha that sat there.
3.
This temple also houses the Yaowarat Chinese Heritage Centre where you'll learn all about the history of the Chinese people in Thailand and the fascinating relationship between these two countries.
4.
Next, you'll get into everything you've been waiting for – bring on the food! With your local guide, you'll head to a 100-year old coffee shop on Phat Sai Road, where you'll be treated to a traditional Thai coffee, snack, and the opportunity to sit back and soak up the atmosphere.
5. Chinatown - Bangkok
We'll then head to a market specialising in Chinese religious products and fresh food. At night, this particular area is filled with street stalls and becomes one giant and extremely tasty food bazaar. This will be your opportunity to go wild and try dishes you've never even heard of. But trust us, after this experience you'll never forget them!
6.
With a belly full of Bangkok treats, we'll head to our final stop, a hidden gem of a sky bar with 360-degree panoramic views to rival all others in the city. You'll have a chance to relax and refresh with a cold Thai local beer (soft drinks also available) while taking in the breathtaking scene.

My friend and I had the best time on this tour. Ant was amazing and gave us a delicious and unforgettable experience of Chinatown! It was one of our favorite nights of the trip. This is a MUST DO in Bangkok…especially if Ant is your guide!

Nana was absolutely amazing! She's very entertaining and told us interesting stories all the way. She also made sure that everyone got the food they can eat, and also gave other tips, and answered our questions. We ve been to a nice coffee shop, and tried buns, gyoza, ice-cream from the oyster soyce etc and some of them were Michelin. Would defo recommend the tour, but pls don't eat before much, as there is a lot of food to try!!!!!

A tour around the Chinatown area of Bangkok with quite a few stops for food, drinks and views. Apple was a lovely and friendly guide. A side of Bangkok that we could never have found on our own.

Pam was an enthusiastic and fun guide. We viewed a bunch of tourist sites but it also felt like being taken to some hidden gems that only a knowledgeable local would know about.

I learned so much about Thai- Chinese history, and experienced all kind of Chinese food on the way. Apple was very knowledgeable and I appreciate her way of relating very much to other cultures. The best food experience where the Chinese coffee shop, the chives and pork dumplings. It was worth trying for the icecream made from soy sauce and the pork in rolled noodle soup. The drinks at the rooftop bar were very much appreciated as they provided a fabulous view over Bangkok at night, from the Old city to the business quarters if the city. Huge thank you for a wonderful tour.

Decent tour and guide was knowledgeable on the temple and area. She was great at explaining a lot of the Chinese and Thailand history.

The only drawback was we are vegetarian and while I confirmed if the tour was suitable for vegetarians, i did not expect to eat 5 deserts!
I wish they did a variety- the coffee shop was great with good toast and great coffee.

Apple was an amazing tour guide. She really made us feel comfortable, answered every question we had, exposed us to more culture than we would’ve ever experienced on our own. She was so sweet and overall, amazing company. We felt safe everywhere we went, especially when trying street food. She was able to accommodate our allergies when showing us around. Highly would recommend!

Wuttsup y’all, we booked a Chinatown food tour through our travel agent. We weren’t sure what to expect (honestly wasn’t expecting much). We had bad instructions, and showed up 30 min late to the tour. We were fortunate the tour guide (Sasha) waited for us. She called the tour agency, got my number, and found us =) The tour started at the Chinatown rail station and worked its way through Chinatown. We stopped along food stalls that were more for “locals” which was my favorite part. We walked through the vendor only streets, samples a bunch of great food, and received a history lesson at the same time. The tour ended at a cool rooftop bar, and Sasha hung out with us the whole time. Overall great experience, exceeded our expectations and we’d recommend it to anyone (you get a BARGAIN for what you pay).
