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.

Frank arranged our 2 weeks in Central Thailand for our family of 4 with our super, marvellous driver Nong.
All was great (although really Hot-Im avoiding April next time ) including highlights of Elephant refuge overnight and Koh Samet relax at end of tour.
Will return with the help of Bangkok Beyond in 2020.

We booked a car with driver for our 3 day, tailor-made tour from central Bangkok to the train market, floating market, Kanchanburi, Hot Springs, Erawan Waterfalls then Ayyuthaya before being dropped off at Bangkok airport for our flight to Sukhothai. All communications were clear and precise & the payment process with Alex was very straight forward. Our driver, Sula, was just lovely! He was really helpful, knowledgeable, with a sense of humour and made our trip extra special with visits to less touristy areas and experiences. I would not hesitate to recommend Bangkok Beyond to anyone.. thanks guys 🙂

We were in Thailand for a short period with family arriving and departing from Singapore and Australia along with the hire of a car and driver for the day to travel to Sriracha and beaches in the area.
The trips were all organised through Alec some at short notice, he was most efficient and helpful with guidance on times and schedules for the airports and travel times to Sriracha for our day trip.
The drivers were all courteous and of great assistance when looking for places such a rest rooms and restaurants at the airport they were easy to find and drop off was smooth with no rush due to delays and at the closest check in points for flights
I have no problems in recommending them for any of their services we will be returning in April and have already booked again for airport transfers in Bangkok

Frank is very professional and provides top notch service. Travelling in a group of 11 pax, Frank proposed very reasonably priced package compared to other service providers. He replies to our enquiries with great details, patiently and promptly.

The drivers were great too. Tony who was with us to Khao Yai was polite, accommodating and punctual. He even took the initiative to book us restaurants and admission tickets even without us requesting.

We will definitely use their service again in our next visit.

I am very satisfied with the services of your company. Booking the tour was easy and professional. The car was nice, the driver allways on time and he went along with all my requests for photo stops and sightseeing off the main roads while we were touring. He was very helpful and even accompanied me on a couple of short hikes.I can definitely recommend your company to prospective visitors to Thailand.

We, an elder couple, got a car with a driver from Your organisation for discovering Northern Thailand from Bangkok to the Golden Triangel for one week. The management was perfect and all the time the very friendly and helpfully driver Tong took care of us, in the background guided byYour main office. We can recommend Your organisation without restrictions.

It was a pleasure to work with this company from the beginning to the end of the trip. Frank was responsive to my inquiries via e-mails and WhatsUp, and tailored itinerary to accommodate our interests. The down payment was easy to make through the website. The guide Nina was very enthusiastic and caring. Both the driver and the guide were always on time from picking up from the airport to dropping off after 3 days of exploring. The cool bottles of water available in the car were very much appreciated. I highly recommend this company.
