About this activity

Even if you just arrived in Bangkok this morning, you’re almost certainly already familiar with Thai food. And we’re here today in Bangkok’s oldest neighborhood because many of these roots can still be seen. To give you a clearer picture of these influences, today we’re going to make stops at a market, food stalls, restaurants, factories, a mall and more. And because food also has to do with culture and history, we also make stops at places that enhance the old stories and backgrounds of those important places in Bangkok.
