What you'll do

We know your mum told you that midnight snacks are bad for you, but a few late-night treats never hurt anyone - and when you’re in Chinatown, eating is obligatory!

You’ll feast your way around the street food of Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown, and taste for yourself exactly why this is the most famous street food district in the city.

This district is alive and kicking after the sun goes down, so come and get lost amongst the neon-soaked streets and their kaleidoscope of intoxicating scents, sights, and of course, tastes.

You’ll try some of the Thai and Chinese street eats which this area is so famous for, from classics like pla pao (salty, barbequed fish) to some more unusual delicacies like friend insects - if you’re feeling adventurous.

Between all of that eating, you’ll explore the night markets, temples, and traditional herbal medicine stores, all of which will give you a glimpse into the frenetic, vibrant, fascinating culture of one of Bangkok’s best-loved neighborhoods.

You’ll even have time to do some serious people-watching in a local bar where chairs spill onto the pavement - all before the clock strikes 12.

    I would recommend local host Ping to anyone visiting Chinatown. I was reluctant to go on my own due to dietary restrictions, but Ping was very accommodating and up for the challenge. We did a food/night tour and I got to sample many delicious dishes. Afterwards, Ping suggested we go to the Loy Krathong festival that was occurring the same night. She helped me buy and offering that was placed in the river. Ping really goes the extra mile as she wants her guests to have a memorable experience. Thanks, Ping, for such a fun night!

    Had a brilliant time in Bangkok with our lovely guide Sopa. She was very flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to see and do and when we didn’t know she stepped in and showed us something we didn’t expect. Not to mention making sure we didn’t get overcharged by taxis etc! Would highly recommend.

    As we moved along information about the foods and shops at a very nice pace. Introduction to the temple and all the China town side topics were well informed. Her English was very good and accommodating to our needs. It was fun to talk about stuff and she managed the transportation well. It was touching to say goodbye.

    Had been to Bangkok many times but never visited Chinatown so we decided to use City Unscripted to book a private tour. Our guide, Kumpirada (Kat), met us at our hotel on time and ready to go. We used local transportation (which we really like to do) to get to and from Chinatown and Kat paid for everything. We arrive a little after 4 PM and visited the Golden Buddah and walked the main and some side streets in the daylight. Kat explained that the area transforms after dark and was she right. Street vendors set up stalls everywhere and Kat encouraged us to enjoy some of the food which we did. Kat paid for everything and the local foods we tried were fantastic. On our own we would have never tried the food but are really glad we did. This tour added to our Bangkok experience and would recommend it to everyone.
