Activity itinerary

Pattaya

Escape the neon nightlife and discover a different side of Pattaya. This is beyond the Pattaya of postcards; this is Naklua, a 100-year-old traditional fishing community built on salt and timber. If you want to know what this town really tastes like, you have to look where the locals are fuelling up. Our evening feasting tour of 14+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of Pattaya led by our team of professional foodie guides. Before we get started, the tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed: ✖️Vegetarians have 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Lanpho Nakluea Market

Begin at the century-old Lan Pho Na Kluea Market, where our foodie guide will navigate the bustling stalls to see the fresh catch of the day brought in from the boats bobbing in the harbour. Tuck into a bowl of kuay jub rolled noodles, swimming in a dark, aromatic broth that carries a bold black pepper kick. Welcome to 'Old Pattaya'—a place of wooden shopfronts and narrow alleys where family lineages stretch back further than the first tourist resort. Watch as clouds of steam rise from backstreets marked by conical steamers with space-age lids, hiding the soft embrace of a fluffy moo daeng pork bun.

New Naklua Market

Moving into the New Naklua Market, the pace quickens as we hunt down the street-level essentials. From fish cake skewers charred over coals to pan-fried gui chai dumplings from the legendary Grandpa Ta-Pae, a local rite of passage. We’ll snag thumb-sized parcels of rice dumplings and finish the market run with the crunch of kanom buang—crispy crêpes filled with airy coconut cream.

Na Kluea

We’ll meet the locals who have fed this town for generations. There are juicy oysters flash-fried into a golden batter, and melt-in-your-mouth braised pork leg slow-cooked for hours in a master sauce of cinnamon and star anise. Try mok pla - a fish curry mousse steamed inside a banana leaf to lock in the herbal aromatics of wild ginger and kaffir lime. Among more surprises, there’s 15+ tastings in all, this is a deep dive into the unfiltered street food scene and authentic flavours of the Chonburi coastline.

Pattaya

The finale to our movable feast is a hidden gem run by former fishermen who still use walkie-talkies to hail their next catch. We’ll tear into seafood specialities: fresh squid sautéed in its own midnight-black buttery ink, a soufflé-like egg volcano hot pot bubbling over a central flame, and perfectly seasoned fish fried to a crisp. This isn't just a food tour; it's a window into the traditional heart of Naklua, a far cry from the sensory overload of Walking Street. It’s an honest look at the family-owned eateries that define this region. Come hungry, leave with a new perspective of the real Pattaya. This is the side of the city's food menus that you never knew existed.
