Experience Details

Step into the heart of Thai culture with a charming journey that begins at a local costume shop, where you’ll choose a beautiful traditional outfit that suits your style and personality. Once dressed, your guide will lead you on a graceful walk through Wat Arun. Marvel at the towering central prang, admire the small chapel honoring King Taksin, and soak in the views from the peaceful riverside terrace.


Your journey continues with a flavorful twist at Talat Phlu food market, where Thai-Chinese culinary traditions come alive. You’ll sample bold, authentic flavors passed down through generations and take part in a hands-on Khanom Krok experience. This beloved Thai snack—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside—is made from a blend of rice flour and coconut milk.


Under the guidance of a warm local vendor, you’ll mix the batter, pour it into an iron pan, and learn the perfect flip. Finish by tasting your very own freshly made Khanom Krok, a sweet ending to a truly meaningful day.

Located by the river, this temple is known for its tall tower and colorful porcelain decorations. Your private guide will tell you interesting stories about the temple’s history and meaning. You can walk around the peaceful grounds, take in the views, and let your guide help take photos of you in your costume with your phone.

Talad Plu Market

Talat Phlu food market offers sizzling woks, bubbling broths, and mouthwatering aromas. Every bite tells a story of bold flavors passed down through generations. After a fun and flavorful walk through Talat Phlu food market, your guide will take you to a cozy coconut pancake shop tucked away in the neighborhood. Here, you’ll learn to make Khanom Krok—a beloved Thai street snack made from a simple yet delicious mix of rice flour and coconut milk, cooked in a traditional cast-iron pan with small round molds. The result? Warm, golden bites that are crispy on the outside and soft, creamy on the inside, often topped with green onions, corn, or taro for a sweet-salty twist. You’ll get hands-on with the process—starting from mixing the batter just right to pouring it into the sizzling pan over a charcoal fire. Guided by a friendly local vendor, you’ll master the timing, the toppings, and the flip! Of course, you’ll enjoy tasting your freshly made Khanom Krok right off the pan.
