“The guide explained the railway history without dramatising it. Careful, honest and very well organised.”

Bangkok Street Food After Dark
Six stops through Bang Rak and Chinatown with a guide who grew up eating at these stalls. Dinner included.
A private evening street-food walk through Bangkok's Chinatown and the old city, from $65 per person. Four hours, six or seven stops, and a guide who orders in Thai. It starts at 5:30pm and is the trip to book if food is the reason you came.
Six stops through Bang Rak and Chinatown with a guide who grew up eating at these stalls. Dinner included.
Best for: Anyone who books a trip around food. The route runs Bangkok. Everything below is a starting point: hotels can be upgraded or simplified, days can be added, and any element can be removed.
Yaowarat after dark is the best eating street in Southeast Asia and it is genuinely difficult to navigate without help — the best stalls have no English, the queues are not a reliable signal, and half the dishes are sold out by 8pm. A guide who has eaten here for twenty years changes the evening from a lucky dip into a sequence.
The route covers about 1.5km with six or seven stops: grilled river prawns, Hokkien noodles, oyster omelette, Chinese-Thai desserts and a beer stop in a shophouse that has not changed since the 1970s. Vegetarian and halal versions are straightforward with notice.
