Krabi Town food tour
KRABI FOOD TOUR. Meet our food-obsessed host, as we deep dive into Southern Thai cuisine with 15+ tastings along the way. From turmeric-yellow curries with flaky roti and khanom jeen noodles, fresh seafood and crispy malindjo leaves, fried mussels on a banana leaf, and hot tapioca balls swimming in cold coconut milk, amongst many more delicious surprises.
On our moveable feast, we'll stop by generations-old local joints with warm Southern Thai hospitality - a far cry from the pizza and burger tourist menus of Ao Nang. We'll graze our way by food to street food vendors, family owned-restaurants, local favourites and night markets to uncover the real Krabi foodie scene.
Find out why a giant caveman guards the traffic lights in Krabi town, whose pre-historic roots date back thousands of years before tourists ever set food on the nearby sandy beaches.
As the sun sets, we'll end with a bellyful of memories (and new found friends), armed with the street food knowledge to continue eating your way around Thailand. A short taxi ride to Ao Nang is a world away from our discovery of the culinary underbelly of Krabi, going where the locals go.
Why this tour is awesome
Ditch the tourist-trap burgers of Ao Nang for a 15+ tasting movable feast through the backstreet joints and night markets that the guidebooks ignore. Venture to the real Krabi in Old Town, where locals-in-the-know gather to dine on their favourite Southern Thai specialities.
