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.

Bangkok and beyond with professional English speaking driver
I have used Bangkok Beyond twice now, and can highly recommend their efficiency, reliability and commitment to delivering excellent customer service. The communication with them, via Cherry, was professional and friendly.

My first trip was a 2-day visit to Kanchanaburi with my family, in the care of Samer, the driver. We were able to relax in the comfy, air conditioned van, while Samer drove us everywhere, taking us to good restaurants and cheerfully answering all our questions.

My second trip was a day's visit with a friend to Ayutthaya, with Thong as our driver. Despite our hotel being notoriously difficult to find, Thong was there bang on time and looked after us brilliantly. It was a boiling hot day and he made sure to stay close by with the air conditioned car so that we could escape the heat whenever we needed. Knowing we couldn't eat spicy food, he ordered our lunch for us at a riverside restaurant. And when we decided to change the itinerary due to the heat, and asked for a boat ride instead of the other thing we'd planned, he was able to organise this cheerfully and quickly.

Use Bangkok Beyond for all your touring and exploring needs!

Frank was most helpful in providing quick responses and recommendations for the 1-day trip to Khao Yai. Tong provided very good service throughout the trip, allowing us to take our time touring the various spots. Car was very spacious and comfortable. Will definitely book with Bangkok Beyond again for my future trips.

Bangkok Beyond is truly worth your time if you're visiting Bangkok. You'll have the peace of mind knowing that their services are very professional and courteous. Frank Are Munkvold was the first person I communicated with via email and I was truly impressed. The communication was within 24 hours and extremely professional. They pride themselves in ensuring that you have a pleasant experience in Bangkok. I truly felt at ease knowing that Mr. Paramsin (aka Joe), our chauffeur, took care of us. My friend and I could go wherever we wanted and whenever we wanted within Bangkok and the time frame allocated for services. I look forward to my next visit to Bangkok where I will happily use Bangkok Beyond's services. It will be an additional plus if I manage to get Mr. Paramsin (Joe) as my guide again.
