Discover Southern Phuket: Your Si Sunthon Food Tour with 15+ Local Tastings
Experience a truly small-group foodie tour in Phuket, limited to just eight guests daily, and spend four immersive hours uncovering the hidden street eats of Phuket Old Town; crowned a Thailand City of Gastronomy in 2017 by UNESCO, this melting pot of Thai, Chinese, Malay and Burmese flavours is a must-visit away from the beach on the island. With your foodie guide you’ll sample a dozen mouth-watering local delights-mop up Burmese curries with wood-fried naans at a tucked-away workers teashop, practise chopstick skills on the best Hokkien noodles in town, and savour crispy roti dipped in creamy massaman curry-each stop revealing the stories and secrets behind the island’s sublime cuisine. This curated, small-group format makes it easy to dive deep into authentic flavours, meet locals, and discover why the local food scene is unlike anywhere else on the island.

An amazing cultural experience with a lovely, grounded and knowledgable guide.
We were lucky enough to have our tour guided by - LUCKY! She was amazing to have as a guide and I hope that anyone else taking this tour is as lucky as us to have her show you around.
We tried a variety of amazing dishes which lended themselves to the cultural melting pot that is Thailand. From grandma’s pork noodle soup to amazing frothy tea’s, rich lamb curry with roti and delicious banana pancakes, the entire experience I would highly recommend to anyone.
My wife and I met two lovely couples from the US + UK whilst on the tour which complimented the experience with awesome company!
Do it local style! Enjoy :)
Thanks again Lucky!
