Overview

Join our truly small-group foodie tour limited to just 8 exclusive guests each day. There's no two ways about it, the food in Phuket is sublime. Perhaps that's why is was crowned the 'Thailand City of Gastronomy 2017' by UNESCO. This melting pot of Thai, Chinese, Malay and Burmese food certainly warrants a few hours away from the beach and there's no better way than diving into the hidden street eats in Phuket Old Town. Starting in the cool of the morning, you'll spend 4 hours with your foodie guide delving into the secrets behind the island's flavours. You'll make plenty of stops to mop up Burmese curries with wood-fried naans at a tucked away workers teashop, practise your chopstick skills on a bowl on the best bowl of Hokkien noodles in town and indulge in grilled pork dripping in rich peanut satay sauce among a dozen more mouth-watering Phuketian dishes and snacks. You won't find food like this anywhere else on the island.

Stop At: Old Phuket Town, Thalang Road, Talat Yai, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand

This island and old trading post has got some serious food pedigree. Influences from all over Asia and beyond have evolved the dishes here into something truly original. That's why Phuket Town was crowned 'City of Gastronomy 2017' by UNESCO. While it's tempting to be a beach bum, those who drag themselves off the sand discover the secrets behind the island's flavours in small groups of up to 8 exclusive guests. Forget pad Thai and green curry, that's central Thai fare. We don't want to spoil the surprise, but prepare to drool as you mop up morsels with wood-fired naan, slurp bowls of smokey Hokkien noodles, work chopsticks over poh pia rolls smothered in rich tamarind sauce and roll up Phuket-style coconut crepes cooked over fiery coals among many more lip-smackingly good tastings in places you'd struggle to find alone.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Old Phuket Town, Thalang Road, Talat Yai, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand

The tour concludes back at the start point, the Phuket Town Central Market, located along Ranong Road in the heart of the city. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Thailand.

First of all we would thank Nam for this unique experience. We had no big expectations before, now we have a baggage full of excellent memories of this food tour. Nam didn’t only learn us much about Phuket, she also gave us so much interesting facts about the history of Phuket. The really small group felts like familiar after a few moments! Were feeling so blessed after this tour with the lovely Nam. Big hug an best wishes from chrisi and the only one vegetarian Oli :).

The guide (Nam) was very knowledgeable and helpful. She helped everyone understand the different ingredients going into the various dishes and I got to try many new flavours through various Thai, Chinese and Burmese dishes. The tour also doesn't seem exhausting and it'll get over even before your realise. 10/10 would recommend to anyone trying to explore Thai and other Asian dishes.

Nam was an amazing guide!!! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. This tour was organized so well. We took mini shade breaks and she’d warn us beforehand whether a location had a restroom or not. She also gave a detailed breakdown of all the ingredients and included mini demonstrations on how certain dishes were made. All of the restaurant owner’s stories are so amazing! Also, the food portions were regular sized. “Taste” is an understatement. I am typically able to eat A LOT!!! The fact that even I was stuffed, says a lot. Don’t eat breakfast beforehand, I promise, you’ll regret it. All in all, 10/10. Greatly recommend!!!

What a brilliant way to immerse yourself in Phukets' food culture. We ended up with 19 tasting experiences, and each one was fantastic. The banana roti was amazing, and I would never have dreamed of trying pig heart. Nam was a sensational host and guide, making sure each person on the tour was comfortable and included. She was also very knowledgeable on all the dishes and also some local history as we walked around. Cannot rate thus tour highly enough and recommend anyone to do it. I hope to check out other Chef's Tours in other locations someday soon!
