Old Siam Food Tour by A Chef's Tour

We were joining a tour at the Big C Mall, so caught a Grab and the first thing inside the door is a Timmies!

We had decided to do "A Chef's Tour of Old Siam" as our first Bangkok outing as it included the experience of moving through the city, as well as giving us an edge or ordering something other than Pad Thai! Our guide Annie did the talking while her assistant Om arranged for our table, did the ordering and organized transportation making it a very seamless experience. First stop: a canal boat ride from Hua Chang Bridge Pier to Stop number 3, slowing down in respect as we passed by the shoreline of a Princess's House. Thailand became a constitutional monarchy in 1932 and the Royal Family is much revered with pictures of the King and Queen commonly seen.

As we got off the boat at Bobae Market, we bought some sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf then grilled, which we took to the first stop. The sticky rice is a common on the go morning snack equivalent but decidedly less sweet than a TimBit!

We walked through the market to the other side, then caught a tuk tuk ride to the first restaurant.Read more
