Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chinatown – Bangkok, Yaowarat Road Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand
You will meet your fellow foodies at 6 pm with your guide at the subway exit number 4 of Hua Lamphong MRT Station, right in front of the Bangkok Centre Hotel (transfer from your hotel to the MRT station is on own arrangement), which is nearby Yaowarat Road, Chinatown’s main road and paradise for local food aficionados. We kindly advise you to arrive before 6 pm to start the tour on time. An early evening adventure commences with walking from this point towards 200-year old Bangkok’s Chinatown.
Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the largest such districts in the world and visitors will find a vibrant, bustling enclave packed with market stalls, meandering narrow alleys, restaurants, temples, and traditional stores.
A huge ceremonial Chinese gate draws visitors into a world of gold shops and purveyors of traditional Chinese health cures assures that you are on the right track. The array of sights and smells takes tourists to a bygone age in which glittering temples provide a backdrop to roadside bartering.
It is not long before we hit our first of seven local eateries, varying from kerbside street vendors to renowned Thai –Chinese dining establishments. There is much more than meets the eye and your guide will explain in detail the history, symbolism and culture aspects before another noodle shop or fruit salesman passes the venue. Landmarks and sights of a more religious theme are pointed out as you try to grasp the explosion of flavours of yet another example of deliciousness.
Chinatown is alive and lives throughout the night, giving the people of Bangkok and visitors alike the chance to sample what makes Yaowarat such a vibrant and thriving centre of culinary delights. At around 9:30 pm, we head back to the meeting point at Hua Lamphong MRT station.
