Bangkok and Beyond Food & Cooking Tour

8 days /  Adults only / Joined tours

How does exploring the full range Thai cuisine with a group of like minded food lovers and some local food experts sound?

You might love this trip if you:

• love Thai food and want to eat your old favorites and learn about new and different local delicacies
• want to learn how to prepare Thai food from professional Thai cooks
• want an all inclusive package so you can focus on relaxing and enjoying your food
• would like to get a more up close and intimate view of Thai culture and day to day life

Tour Highlights
  • Learn to make some of your favorites. A lot of people who travel in Thailand can be confused by the food; there is so much of it, it is so diverse, and it can be so alien. So we have put together our own food and cooking tour and dispel the darkness. We’ll explore the cuisines of all of Thailand’s different regions and learn to make some of your favorites so you can take a bit of Thailand with you wherever you go.
  • The trip is based solely around the food, and we have stuck to that and left some free time in the schedule that you can use to visit other attractions – or take your new knowledge of food to the street and explore the markets on your own. This makes the trip more affordable, and allows us to focus on what’s really important – tasting and cooking food! And since we decided to keep the trip in a limited range, there is a lot more time that would be spent in vans and coaches that can be spent enjoying Thai culture at a relaxed pace.
  • The trip is arranged for a group of adults only, which creates a great opportunity for fellow food lovers to get to know each other and to talk about the Thai food they are experiencing as well as the foods of their own countries. Of course you should feel free to talk about anything you’d like; there is more to life than food, tragically.

Itinerary

DAY 1: ARRIVE IN BANGKOK

We will pick you up from any place in Bangkok or at the airport and check you in at the True Siam Phayathai Hotel. In the evening when everybody has arrived we will go to a very special restaurant for dinner and a welcome drink.

DAY 2: SIGHTSEEING IN BANGKOK

This day we will visit the must sees of Bangkok: Grand Palace, Wat Po and do a canal tour with a licensed tour guide. Lunch is local street food and dinner will be in a local restaurant near the hotel.

DAY 3: FOOD TOUR AND COOKING CLASS

We will go by local transportation, skytrain and tuk tuk to our first appointment of the day which is a walking tour where you will sample different food and see some lesser known temples. Then it is off to the first half day cooking lesson with Somphong Cooking School.

DAY 4: AMPHAWA FLOATING MARKET

Morning is free. After that we head out of the city and stop by a local fruit farm for snacks and lunch before heading to the floating market at Amphawa. After a boat tour and dinner at the floating market the evening is free after checking in at Homestay in Amphawa.

DAY 5: MAEKLONG RAILWAY MARKET AND HUA HIN

On our way we will stop by the strange Maeklong Railway Market for snacks and lunch. Then it is off to the seaside town of Hua Hin where we will stay a couple of nights. In the evening we will have our own BBQ dinner.

DAY 6: HUA HIN COOKING CLASS AND SIGHTSEEING

In the morning we take a 20 minute trip down to Hua Hin for a full day cooking class which starts with a trip to the local market to buy your own ingredients. After spending the afternoon at the beach or doing some local sightseeing we eat dinner and browse around the famous night market.

DAY 7: SIGHTSEEING IN CHA-AM AND BANGKOK

After check out, we will stop by the Maruekatayawan Palace. After that we go back to Bangkok. On the way we will eat lunch and sample local Thai dinner desserts. In the evening we will board the Chao Phraya Princess for our memorable goodbye dinner.

Highly recommend. Helpful driver, good service, comfortable trip.

I booked van to go to Ayutthaya with my family. I was worried about my daughter(1y) if she feel tired and get cranky while traveling. But everyone including her enjoyed so much because driver Tony was very nice to us.

BangkokBeyond provided EXCELLENT driving and guide services for 5 of us for 4 days:

Airport and hotel pickups, adventures and sightseeing outside of Bangkok, and then back to the airport.

They were absolutely prompt,
Absolutely delivered as expected,
Absolutely had our best interests in mind for each of the 4 days.
Absolutely clean and comfortable car and a 10 passenger for the remaining 4 times we needed a driver.
Absolutely flexible and adapted to our needs.
Perfect and prompt communication.
No hidden fees or “nickel and dime” charges.
Friendly, helpful drivers.

BangkokBeyond made this ALL Easy!

This is my 7th time to Thai, my third in 3 years. However, this time, my sister and her husband and my brother’s son joined us for 2 of the 5 weeks. As such, we wanted to see as many of the highlights in Bangkok as possible in 3 days before heading up to Chiang Mai. Plus, they needed to overcome jet lag.

So, I chose to hire a driving service instead of piecing together our sightseeing. Bangkok Beyond made every adventure easy.

We had an amazing half day tour to the train/floating markets on our first day in Bangkok with Bangkok Beyond. Our group was small - just my husband and two children under 13yrs. From the beginning with booking, Cherry was extremely helpful and efficient with the whole process running very smoothly. Our tour guide Tim was amazing, she made suggestions about food, was extremely knowledgeable and provided a great tour. Our driver was very safe and careful.

We would highly recommend Bangkokbeyond for future travellers and would be keen to use the team again should we return to Bangkok.

We contracted their services for a week from Airport pick up and drop off, to tours around Bangkok and out of the City. Their staff did an excellent service starting from the Airport and Tony our Driver was courteous and helped us a lot on our Customized tour. We were even provided with cold bottled water and wipes which was really a relief especially after our walking Tour. We just handed him the list for the places that we wanted to go and he set it in motion. Cherry who did an excellent job in answering a lot of my questions made me feel at ease about what to expect. Oat our tour guide, although we only had him for a day did his job well and was fun to be with.

I would definitely recommend Bangkok Beyond for their exemplary services rendered as well as professionalism from their staff.

Thanks to Cherry for the assistance she provided us answering every question I had.
