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.

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.

We (a family of 4) used Beyond Bangkok for a transfer from Khao Yai to Koh Chang. ?We had a good experience with the driver Mumu. He drove carefully and was very accommodating during the whole trip. Frank was responding fast to my questions and the experience was flawless. Well done! I highly recommend this service for any transfer in Thailand.

My experience with the company was extremely smooth and reassuring! Firstly, Cherry replied to all my emails promptly and even went into the details, highlighting possible hiccups in my self-made itinerary. She pretty much was the deciding factor why I chose Bangkok Beyond as all the other agencies paled in comparison.

Thereafter, Mr Supoj (our driver/guide) was also extremely safe, patient and caring to my whole family of 7 (including a wheelchair bound elderly). He took up the task of bringing up and down the wheelchair from the van all the time, always with a smile on his face. He acceded and provided options whenever my family changed our itinerary. He made sure we got a good price and was not cheated when my kid wanted a ride on a tuk tuk.

Thanks again for the great experience Bangkok Beyond!

We had 17 people in our group arriving in Bangkok for 3 days, and 2 night. Bangkok Beyond (Frank) did a wonderful job on arranging 2 vans to pick us up at the airport, and helping with customizing our tours for Bangkok. Frank was very prompt in responding back to me with question or concern that I had. The tour guide and the drivers spoke very good English. Our group was very happy with both drivers. Mr. Thanit, our main driver even have a spare phone for us to use, since one of our member's phone did not work over at Bangkok. That was very helpful. I have used many transportation service from other countries before, and in comparison with Bangkok Beyond. I highly recommend Bangkok Beyond and would use there service again and again.
Thank you Bangkok Beyond!!

I planned a tour for my 16 club members to Khao Yai and Bangkok. Found out about Bangkok beyond in the net. Mr Frank was very helpful in answering all my concerns and provided all the arrangements with the 2 van drivers. Drivers were punctual and they were accommodating to where we want to go. Really enjoyed this tour with the services provided. Thank you.
