Description

Join a guided culinary journey of southern Thailand on an evening quest. Taste authentic Thai dishes and visit the Kio Thian Keng Saphan Hin Shrine, Khao Rang Hill, Phuket Old town, and more.
Embark on a whirlwind culinary journey tasting the flavors of Southern Thailand on this evening quest. Before the food, visit a donation-based barbershop where locals meet regularly to get their hair cut by a professional while socializing –opt for a quick trim if you like!

Also visit Kio Thian Keng Saphan Hin Shrine - a beautiful, multi-colored temple that looks especially enchanting as the sun sets. The guide will explain the temple’s significance to local people, especially noting its role during the Vegetarian festival.

Next, it’s on to the first food stop where we will taste Khanom Chin - a must-try southern Thai dish. These thin rice noodles come recommended by Chef Supaksorn “Ice” Jongsiri, owner-chef of Sorn (Two Michelin Stars, Thailand Michelin Guide 2022). Local people enjoy eating Khanom chin with their curry of choice, accompanied by the free, fresh condiments and spices offered at the restaurant. It’s entirely up to the diner what they choose to put in their Khanom Chin. This personal aspect of flavouring your own dish makes it a popular choice.

After completing the first food quest, head to the viewpoint on Khao Rang Hill to enjoy the city’s magnificent vistas at sunset if the timing is right. Make sure to have those cameras ready to capture the magical views.

Next, head to the second stop in the centre of Phuket Old Town to try Oh Aew, a shaved ice dessert. Introduced by Hokkien Chinese settlers, it is named after its main ingredient - a jelly made from seeds of the o-aew plant.

After cooling down with this delicious dessert, wander along Thalang Road, admiring the pretty blend of Chinese and European-style architecture and exploring the many boutique shops.

Finally, enjoy the bustling night market on the hunt for more delicious local treats; from sticky mango rice to spicy satay skewers. Enjoy the food in a celebratory atmosphere as live music often completes the vibe
