A Taste of the Tour:

Chiang Mai has a creative side that isn’t always found on the usual tourist trail.

It’s tucked down back alleys. Painted across walls. Hidden in unexpected corners. And brought to life by artists who see the city a little differently.

We’ll explore this side of Chiang Mai on foot, wandering through back alleys and discovering street art, graff and unexpected pieces of creativity along the way.

But this isn’t about standing around looking at walls.

It’s about stepping into the scene.

You’ll meet a local Chiang Mai artist and get hands-on with the creative process. Learn about stencil art, then create your own design and cut your stencil by hand.

Next, grab the spray can.

Use your stencil to create your own personalised tote bag—a one-of-a-kind piece of Chiang Mai street-art culture that you’ve made yourself and can take home.

But we’re not finished yet.

Once you’ve created your stencil, you’ll have the chance to take it into the streets and add your own creative touch to Chiang Mai’s ever-changing art scene.

Along the way, we’ll stop for a local snack and drink.

No art experience required. No need to be a graff pro.

Just bring your curiosity, your creativity and a willingness to give it a go.

This isn’t just a street art tour.

It’s your chance to become part of it.

Additional Information

No previous artistic experience is required.
The experience involves walking through back alleys and urban areas, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
The spray-painting activity takes place in a designated or permitted location.
The itinerary may vary slightly depending on local conditions and artists availability.

Along with a variety of delicious Cambodian food to taste, Jackson was an informative and friendly host. We absolutely recommend this experience for visitors to the city.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a memorable introduction to Cambodia. Guide Jackson and two of Urban Forage's regular drivers did an exceptional job with the Phnom Penh Morning Market and Street Art by Tuk Tuk. I direct booked via their website  last night (it's low season) and got immediate WhatsApp messages sorting out my shellfish allergy and promising the daily tour would  go ahead even though I was the only one signed up. Three friends wound up joining — two literally at the last minute. On this half art/half food tour all over Phnom Penh, we were treated to a first breakfast, second breakfast and surprise ending. We discovered art and the stories behind it in a coffeeshop, on the street, in a gallery and in a public square. Jackson's English is perfect and he took care to ensure I avoided hidden oyster sauce, shrimp paste and dried shrimp. And hearing that one of us was celebrating a birthday, they quickly decorated both tuk tuks with balloons! You couldn't ask for more from a tour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great morning with Jackson our guide and Mr Lucky our Tuktuk driver in Phanom Penh. Started the morning with a visit to a local market for some great breakfast and the most delicious Cambodian Donuts then  Jackson took us to the Street with the murals and stopped again for more delicious food. This is a great way to start your morning in Phanon Penh and see the sites eat some delicious food. Highly recommend this tour ask for Jackson and Mr Lucky.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackson and his driving partner a 1 fantastic people pro using local knowledge in a fun, intimate manner.  Enjoy countless classic “street food” samples,  some familiar, some very local but all fantastically fresh, delicious and specific to Cambodian culture.  The street food is the “appetizer” sort to speak because you wind up at a long standing family restaurant for a sit down dinner with a variety of delicious dishes offered.

Great experience, well worth the time & money!
Go and enjoy!!!

 Verified Enjoyed our night out a places we would not have gone otherwise
Really enjoyed our food tour. Was not able to book directly through their website from US because credit card kept getting declined, but the same tour is available on Viator so I was able to book it that way. Only 4 on our tour which was great. I feel like the amount of food was perfect. I was definitely full at the end but was able to try everything. Some dishes better than others, but I liked the variety. We tried 4 of 8 things that I had flagged as must try while in Cambodia so that worked for me. Communication was good and they showed up right on time at my hotel.

 Verified Food experience with Jackson
Jackson our tour guide was amazing in his knowledge of local cuisine with a sprinkling of Cambodian history. Food was great (and safe) giving us both the flavours and the environment where it is commonly served.

 Verified Great local experience
A happy evening tour of small eareries, most street vendors or market operators. The food is authentic and you are dining among locals. Beers aplenty which compliments the food as Jacko, our guide provides fascinating commentary and insights into being a resident in Phnom Penh. The people watching was awesome, a real treat seeing locals go about their evening activities. A great way to experience the city evening.

 Verified Great night out!
JB from start to finish was fantastic. We would highly recommend this food tour. The different areas that we were taken, the food that we got to sample and to places that we wouldn't have normally eaten at, everything was delicious. One of the many highlights for us was being able to sample grasshoppers and crickets, get on board, they would be great with a beer.

 Verified Great art tour!
We did the art tour.It was great! I had a problem with the original time & they very kindly changed our pick up to accommodate us. Our guide, JB, was very knowledgeable. Loved all the background history he gave us. He was very enthusiastic about all the culture. Saw street art that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We also went to a few galleries which had great art. Ended with a nice stop at a garden restaurant. We had a fantastic time & really enjoyed our time.
