Krabi Town food tour
KRABI FOOD TOUR. Go off the eaten path to see the real side of Krabi on our food adventure in Old Town. We'll venture to generations-old eateries and local joints, to sample 15+ tastings of Southern Thai cuisine.
Discover dim sum houses, street food chefs, family-owned restaurants, and locally-loved favorites to get the lowdown on Krabi's delicious food scene. Find out why a sabre-tooth tiger guards the traffic lights, and the cave man story that dates back to Krabi's pre-historic discovery long ago.
Witness local life in the community with a boat ride to a centuries-old fisherman's village, serving fresh seafood that you'll struggle to find alone.
Our culinary exploration ends with a local Thai dessert, a full belly and new memories with your local host, armed with the street food knowledge to continue eating your way around Thailand. It's a short hop back to Ao Nang after discovering the true tastes of Krabi. Come hungry!
Why this tour is awesome
We'll swap the Ao Nang crowds for the real Krabi, hunting down generational chefs and ancient caveman lore while feasting on the kind of hyper-local Southern Thai cuisine you'd struggle to find on your own. Itβs an deep-dive into the culinary world of Krabi Old Town - because you didn't fly halfway around the world to eat at a resort.
