Phuket's Ultimate Culinary Quest: 15+ Southern Flavours Feast
No address available
Join our truly small-group foodie tour limited to just 8 exclusive guests each day. There's no two ways about it, the food in Phuket is sublime. Perhaps that's why is was crowned the 'Thailand City of Gastronomy 2017' by UNESCO. This melting pot of Thai, Chinese, Malay and Burmese food certainly warrants a few hours away from the beach. There's no better way than diving into the hidden street eats in Phuket Old Town. You'll spend 4 hours with your foodie guide delving into the secrets behind the island's flavours. You'll make plenty of stops to mop up Burmese curries with wood-fried naans at a tucked away workers teashop, practise your chopstick skills on a bowl on the best bowl of Hokkien noodles in town and indulge in crispy roti dipped in creamy massaman curry, among a dozen more mouth-watering Phuketian culinary delights. You won't find food like this anywhere else on the island.

This was such a great experience. I got to try so many dishes I normally wouldn’t have ordered on my own, and everything was absolutely delicious. My favourite stop was the little Chinese stall at the market, where we had a rich broth with different cuts of pork - it was so tasty. Everyone cooking and serving food was really kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel really warm and genuine. But the highlight for me was our guide, Lucky. She was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the food but also about the culture and history of Phuket, which made the entire tour really interesting and entertaining. Thank you for such a unique experience and I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phuket.

It was great service. One of the best tours I’ve had since being in Thailand. My aunt and I enjoyed our tour. The host was very knowledgeable and very kind. His name was Lucky.

Our guide, Cat, was incredibly friendly and expertly led us around Phuket. She selected some fantastic dishes for us to try, ensuring an authentic and memorable experience. I highly recommend Cat and this tour, which offers a unique perspective on Phuket that differs from the typical tourist experience.

The foods at each stop of this tour were incredible with my favourites including Kien Phuket Sausage, Thai Steamed Jasmine Moo Hong Braised Pork Belly with Black Soy Sauce, Roti Charcoal Banana. Our last stop got us involved in the creation with the delicious 'Oh El Aiyu Jelly with Honey Yusu Syrup on the Shaved Ice'. Our guid Gigi, was some much fun and had so many fun stories to share with our group - we just made sure to always ask what her favourite item on the menu was and we were guaranteed a delicious item to try. The tour took us to places I wouldn't have been inclined to venture into myself - as a picky eater - but at no point was I, or anyone in my group disappointed with anything that we were served. So glad this was included in our adventure.

We had an amazing tour with Lucky! She was super friendly, funny and informative. Lucky knew so much about each place we visited including the families and people working there and the history of the dishes. All the dishes were very tasty and big food portions. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Lucky 💜
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Not recommended for pregnant travelers
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- We can cater for vegetarians and pescatarians as long as those guests are okay that there may be 2-3 less tastings (out of 15) that won't be suitable. They certainly won't go hungry!
- Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately and bring an umbrella if rainy is likely
- The tour isn't suitable for severe shellfish or peanut allergies due to the risk of traces and cross-contamination

- 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!
