Just stay hydrated and start with milder dishes if you're not used to spicy food.

This gives you enough time to visit 6-8 different food stops, taste 7-10 dishes, learn about Thai cuisine, and soak in the market atmosphere without feeling rushed.

Wear comfortable, casual clothing suitable for Bangkok's warm climate. Light, breathable fabrics work best. Comfortable walking shoes are essential as you'll be on your feet for several hours. Avoid wearing expensive jewelry or carrying large bags. Bring a small bag for essentials like your phone, wallet, and camera. Evening tours can get warm, so dress accordingly. A light jacket might be useful if markets have strong air conditioning.

However, we recommend tours for children aged 6 and above who can walk comfortably for 3-4 hours. Parents should supervise young children in crowded markets. Many Thai dishes are kid-friendly (not too spicy), and guides can recommend milder options. Some tour operators offer discounted rates for children under 12.

Evening tours (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) are most popular and atmospheric. Night markets come alive with lights, energy, and the largest variety of food options. Temperatures are cooler after sunset.

Avoid midday tours (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM) when it's extremely hot and fewer vendors operate.

If you're on a guided tour with food included in the price, you won't need much cash for food. However, bring some Thai Baht (฿500-1,000) for: additional snacks or drinks you want to try, souvenirs from market vendors, tips for guides (optional but appreciated), and personal purchases. Most street vendors only accept cash, not credit cards. ATMs are usually available near major markets.
