The 5 Street Food Market Tours in Thailand Locals Send You To

1.Phuket: Full Day City Tour with Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,888 reviews · 9 hours · from $31Our pick

Spend nine hours exploring Phuket with an English or Thai-speaking guide such as Bam Bam, Kimmy, or Mossy. Visit viewpoints, Wat Chalong, a cashew factory, Old Town, Rang Hill, and Chillva Market. Big Buddha is currently closed because of an inaccessible road, so confirm the latest plan before booking.

“Many varied sights to see. A very informative guide, Kim(?), who explained the process to follow through the Chalong temple. The only slight disappointment was the timing at Chillva market. Some stalls were still opening and 1 hour wasn't enough to appreciate the whole place fully. Getting back to Patong was in the middle of rushour traffic, so slow going but the driver was very safe. Thank you.”
