Chiang Mai Food Tour

This was a brilliant evening which included a thorough tour of three different types of market. We tried different foods with TJ giving us lots information about different aspects of Thai life and culture as well as the benefit of his extensive knowledge of food and cooking. He introduced and encouraged us to try lots of different types and styles of food which we probably wouldn’t have found or thought to taste. He answered all of our questions and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. Excellent - don’t hesitate to book this tour!

We totally recommend this tour. It’s a great way to know the local food and the places to eat some of the best versions. It wasn’t only about the food, we also visited a food market an TJ explained everything we asked about.

This was one of the BEST tours I have taken. Jakkrit was awesome. He told us so many things about Chiang Mai, about the people and the food. He made us feel like we were all friends dining together. He had us try amazing dishes. And the way he did it we all shared and no one walked away super stuffed. We loved that he took us to the vegetable sellers market. It was incredible to see and learn. Our last stop was the Chinatown market. We loved seeing all three very different places. Jakkrit is a wonderful host and it was a truly memorable way to spend the night in Chiang Mai.

Excellent tour, highly recommended if you want to experience local street food and local market culture. Visited 3 markets over 3-3.5hrs with JT who is an excellent guide. Very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Lots of good gastronomic knowledge about the history, ingredients and preparation of each dish which he shared in fluent English. I only wish we'd done the tour when we arrived so that I could go back to some of the markets over the next couple of days.

Knowledgable guide with food service experience so could talk taste combinations, ingredients and sources from first hand experience. Loved that we shared tastes of different foods.

We had a brilliant time on this food tour, and our guide TJ was excellent. It's great to have a free tour where you can choose how much food to buy and eat, especially if (like us) you have dietary preferences. The night markets in Chiang Mai have great atmosphere, incredible food, and are very cheap! If you do this tour, make sure to leave a good tip because what you get for the price of the food is exceptional!

I think TJ s got what it takes to make a tour interesting, informative, cheap and fun. Recommended 10/10

The tour was very good

Great twilight tour. We visited a few markets and tried lots of traditional Thai food. We also saw wholesale farmers markets which were interesting and tried some new fruits. Jakkrit spoke really good English, very knowledgable and friendly. Recommend

Dadurch, dass die Gruppen kleiner für diese Tour gehalten werden, ist es viel persönlicher und auch einfacher einen Platz zu bekommen. Ich fand die Mischung aus Essen- und Markttour sehr gut.

Jakkrit es muy amable y divertido. Lo recomiendo. Vayan sin comer pero tampoco pasen hambre antes del tour.

This was such a fun food tour! TJ was fun and engaging. He described many aspects about Thai food culture that I didn't know. The first market was fantastic, and the 24/7 food wholesale warehouse market was quite fascinating to visit. I was slightly bummed about the third market because we only tried from one food stall there. I honestly left wanting to eat more, but that might be because of deciding to share and not knowing how much was to come. I would have liked if we ate at more than one place at the last stop, but overall, it was a great way to spend the evening eat great food. TJ thought of every little detail and was very professional and prepared. Thanks! I would recommend taking this tour on one of your first days in CM because I did it towards the end of my trip and didn't have time to go back and visit my favor food stalls again.

Great tour! He took us to the local markets, where thai people actually eat and shop, so we got to see the real thai food. The food was delicious and the info was interesting. He's kind and speaks perfect English. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

This was seriously one of the best food tours I've done and I would highly, highly recommend this good tour for anyone looking to explore the food scene in Chiang Mai. Jakkrit / TJ was an awesome guide and made the tour very enjoyable and fun. I really liked that we went to a food market, had a small break checking out a local produce market and then went back to try some more food. My tummy was more than satisfied at the end. Please do yourself a favour and book this tour. I promise you will not regret it.

Very nice way to spend my evening and learn more about food!!!

The tour was great and very intersting. TJ takes only 4 people in the group, we had a very good time. Thanks again

Thank you so much for the tour—it was truly fun and interesting! You're incredibly witty and knowledgeable, which made the experience really special. I enjoyed visiting the vegetable wholesalers and exploring the unique spots in Chinatown. The first market felt a bit touristy with common Thai dishes, but the tour improved as we progressed. The later stops had more interesting, local food, which I appreciated. Great job, well done!

Amazing tour, really well done

We loved the tour! The guide had a super interesting route around 3 markets also sharing with us information about the culture and traditions of the people. We moved around the markets in the guide’s car as we were only 4 people which made it also more accessible and less tiring than if we had to walk between all the locations. Jakkrit encourages us to try new dishes we probably would not have picked by ourselves but we loved every single one of them! Thank you so much for such a great tour! Highly recommend to come hungryyyyy

Brought us to places to eat that we would never have discovered on our own. The wholesale market was an eye opener. TJ was so kind to fetch us in his car to the places we were supposed to go. And he gave us more time than agreed upon. And finally send us back to our hotel.

Amazing!!! Jakkrit (TJ) really did a masterful job navigating our way through several markets in Chiang Mai and really hand picked each of our stops. He purposely keeps his groups small so that he can really provide a high level experience. 5 stars and book early! Awesome tour!

Excellent! We went to visit 3 different markets. Tried so many different dishes. He had everything ready so we did not have to wait in line for anything. It was just great!!!

Jakkrit is a very nice man, a chef, he knows a lot about cooking. Lots to eat. We shared one sample among both of us and that was plenty. Highly recommend it!

He was nice knowledgeable and funny. I had a great time. I definitely would recommend.

JT rocks being a guide. His English is superb and he’s funny and he knows his food stuff. I especially loved going early evening. Sign up and chow down!
