Description

Join an evening food tour with 15+ tastings, skipping the generic tourist set menus. After a day spent exploring ancient temples, you’ll have rightly worked up a serious appetite.
Meet at a breezy garden café before heading out to slurp a bowl of Thai boat noodles. This Ayutthaya classic has been slung along the royal city's canals for decades, a rich broth that carries the history of the floating market peddlers.

Jump in a tuk-tuk and zoom towards the street-food veteran Auntie Mae Ann, where her signature stir-fried beef and kaffir lime leaves is washed down with an ice-cold yellow chrysanthemum tea.

Next up is another Michelin-rated treasure operating from an ancestral family home. They’re famous for tom yum shredded chicken noodles, a dish passed down through generations in the Sena district for more than 60 years. We don’t want to spoil all the surprises, but with 14+ tastings in store, you’re in for a treat.

Pause for the holy grail of sugar: Ayutthaya cotton candy (roti sai mai). This melt-in-your-mouth thread wrapped in pandan crepes is a 400-year-old culinary tradition, and a global pop-culture hit through K-pop stardom.

Pull up to a riverside view restaurant for the ultimate crown jewel: grilled river prawns butterflied and charred until the tomalley is creamy. Balance the seafood with a crunchy corn salad, and a herb-packed beef salad buzzing with fresh mint, lime, and chilli.

The evening picks up as we stroll the city’s night market. Stop by a Michelin-rated stall for a crispy mussel pancake, cooked by the legendary "dancing chef", grooving at his streetside griddle for over four decades. At another stall, snag Thai fish cakes fragrant with red curry paste.

Our grand finale unfolds inside a teak-wood dining room opposite the illuminated stupas of Wat Ratchaburana. Feast on pork betel leaf wraps, creamy coconut galangal chicken soup, and a fiercely spiced minced pork with fluffy steamed rice. Cool off with coconut ice cream and traditional Thai toppings; piling on the ruby water chestnuts, candied sweet potato, and herbal grass jelly.

Finish full-bellied and soaked in culture, as you slide back to your Ayutthaya hotel. Otherwise catch the train or Grab taxi ride to sink into your seat for a well-earned food nap all the way back to Bangkok.
