If your flight arrives early today, then this late afternoon, you will whizz off to pick up some street snacks in a local street food paradise by TUK TUK, where you will sample a selection of items ranging from one of Bangkok's most famous pork satays (Moo Satay) to fresh spicy chili dips (Nam Prik). What will follow is a diverse range of unique food stops and a little bit of mystery. You will change some of the stops on a regular basis to add an element of mystery but you will no doubt sample a combination of curries, regional specialties and sweet surprises as we go. At at least one of the stops you will grab a beer with your food. Your last stop will be in Chinatown - possibly Bangkok's most famous street for street food.
