Why choose this Phuket tour ?
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. There’s no better way than diving into the hidden street eats in Phuket Old Town. 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 crispy roti dipped in creamy massaman curry, among a dozen more mouth-watering Phuketian culinary delights. You won’t find food like this anywhere else on the island.

What makes Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings a unique experience ?
Our feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Phuket Town led by our team of professional foodie guides. We’re Phuket’s #1 food tour company on TripAdvisor. Over 5,000 guests can’t be wrong. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here’s an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed ✔ We can cater for vegetarians and pescatarians though they may have to avoid 2-3 tastings (out of 15 total), so they won’t go hungry! ✘ Unsuitable for severe shellfish and peanut allergies due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. So, of you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
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 among many more lip-smackingly good tastings in places you’d struggle to find alone.
The tour concludes back at the start point, the Ranong Main 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.
