Phuket food tour
PHUKET FOOD TOUR - Join us on our lunchtime Phuket food tour experience to discover the secrets behind the island's flavours and spots known only to locals. Mop up Burmese curries with wood-fired naans and slurp on chai at a tucked away Burmese teashop, work a pair of chopsticks over the best bowl of Hokkien noodles in Phuket Town and indulge in in flaky-roti dipped in creamy massaman curry, along with more than a dozen more dishes.
*Dates not available? Contact us! Or for a later experience, try this link for our >> 'Baba Tastes' evening Phuket food tour.
Trust us, you're not going to try food like this anywhere else on Phuket and while it's tempting to be a beach bum, you'd be one sandwich short of a picnic not to join our movable feast.
Note that our regular tour runs at 10:00am and 10:30am, and sometimes we add an extra tour at 12:30pm. Only the 12:30pm doesn't go inside the market (but our earlier tour times do!). Street food vendors take time off too, so not every Phuket food tour will be exactly the same, but fear not, the tour will always be packed with the good stuff!

Why this tour is awesome
Welcome to Phuket's #1 food tour. There is no question about it - Southern Thai food is sublime. The melting pot of Thai, Malay, Burmese and Chinese cuisine has led to Phuket being crowned 'Thailand City of Gastronomy 2017' by UNESCO.
If you can drag yourself away from Phuket's gorgeous beaches, you'll not only dive into the rich cuisine, but learn about the history and culture of Old Town Phuket.
