Meet your guide and small group at Bangkok’s central Hua Lamphong train station, bordering Chinatown. Listen to a brief history of the area as you stroll among a maze of streets crowded with vendors, shops, and restaurants. Get a local’s perspective on Thai-Chinese cuisine and culture as you stop to sample typical dishes such as dumplings, peppered pork noodles, and a refreshing coconut drink.
Learn the ins and outs of eating dim sum, visit an eatery frequented by the Thai royal family, and dare to try the notoriously pungent durian fruit from a well-known vendor. Satisfy your sweet tooth with Chinese doughnuts and other desserts, and finish up with a fancy tea demonstration. By the end of a tour, expect to eat enough samples to make up a filling meal.
