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.

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.

I had some difficulty finding a provider on the internet on such short notice but am glad to find your website eventually and it was easy to communicate with you.

The driver was very punctual and helpful, and the ride was comfortable.

Appreciate the provision of water in the vehicle though it would have been nice if there was ice in the cooler box to keep it cold.

I would recommend you to colleagues and friends again.

I was very impressed with the services that the Bangkok Beyond provided to us. I just listed the places that we wanted to visit at Ratchasima and all went well. We visited Primo Piazza, PB Valley, Farm Chockchai and Hobbit house with airport pick-up and one way transfer to Bangkok.The value of money was worth. We also had a very kind and polite driver. He patiently waited for us at the airport because our trip was delayed. It is very much recommended to fellow tourist around the world. Kudos!

When hosting a group of visitors that won't in the car, we usually book a van for out-of-town day trips.We planned to bring our visitors to the historical city of Ayutthaya and the floating market in Damnoen Saduak on consecutive days. I found Bangkok Beyond on a google lookup and I found it the easiest to book a van. Everything was online through facebook messenger, and very straight forward.

The daily price was higher than I've experienced in the past, but I found it well worth it. The van was comfortable, it had wifi and the driver was very knowledgeable of where we were going. In addition, fuel was already covered in the daily charge.

They were prompt, on time and responsive and provided a great service at a very fair price. I would use them again in heartbeat. They were open to moving adjustments throughout the day. Based on costs of other tours, working with them was one of the best experiences i've had in Thailand.

I booked a van with a driver with Bangkok Beyond and my whole journey in Thailand with my family went on smoothly. Our driver Sutat was very helpful and trustworthy. He helped us with our itinerary from Bangkok to Chiang Rai. Frank his boss is also helpful and very prompt in responding any questions and inquiries thru email. He even recommended me to a cheap day trip tour in Phuket which is out of his territory. Again, Thank You! Bangkok Beyond!!! You made our trip in Thailand a pleasant memories and hope to see you again!!!
