On this ultimate walking tour from the Flower Market to Chinatown we will explore the diversity of Bangkok and Thai culture through a range of local markets and snacks. We will walk through 7 different market areas and use them to discover the local culture.
Along the way you will try and range of snacks. This is a snack tour rather than a full food tour which means we will offer small quantities of many snacks, but you should be full enough at the end.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The Market Experience is hidden away on the 2nd floor (mezzanine floor) of the main Yodpiman Flower Market building. This is the building between the main road and Yodpiman River Walk (the newer restaurant / shopping area by the river) and they will be selling a lot of flowers used for offerings (marigolds, orchids, jasmine… ) The easiest way to get to us is to take the river ferry and get off at Pak Klong Talad pier (pier N6/1). You can get the blue flag tourist ferry (40THB – first boat is 9am) or the local orange flag ferry (15THB). If you are staying near a skytrain station you can get the Skytrain to Saphan Taksin and then the ferry. When you get off the ferry you will be in Yodpiman River Walk and need to walk into the main flower market. We do have some signs up so do look for signs for The Market Experience but we also suggest you follow the map below. If you take a taxi or need to ask someone for assistance you can also show this instructions in Thai. ปากคลองตลาด จอดหน้าธนาคารธนชาติ
