Authentic Thai: Savour cuisine in local homes, restaurants

FEED your love of Thai food by joining one of the many one-day LocalTable tours on offer across Thailand.

It's your chance to support community-based tourism and experience dining in local homes and restaurants in any of the participating 55 cities.

While Pad Thai and Tom Yum Kung have put Thai food on the world's culinary map there are plenty of other dishes and ingredients to delight the palate, especially in off-the-beaten-track destinations.

LocalTable brings Thailand's gastronomic diversity to the world while promoting the hidden gems and enabling more locals to directly benefit from tourism.

Visitors book online through www.takemetour.com to access more than 1000 local tours.  They get to share a meal cooked from locally-sourced ingredients on tours such as Discover the Secrets of Salt and Savour Homemade Seafood at Salt Farm or Lamphun's Hidden Temples and Homemade Northern Style Lunch at My Garden Restaurant, or what about Learn to Paint Thai Porcelains while visiting an ancient temple and enjoying a local lunch in Suphan Buri.
