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

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.

The service with Bangkok Beyond was top! Our driver Pu-ja (not sure how to write it?) was very nice, very caring as I was traveling with my six-year old son, and absolutely reliable and in time. Made our journey easy and carefree, we loved it! Would definitely recommend to book with Bkkbeyond.

We had an unusual route request, a day visiting various aircraft wrecks around the western side of Bangkok. Frank was really easy to deal with and our driver Samer was a delight, courteous, helpful, friendly and - given he was going to places that he hadn't been before - very patient!

I have absolutely no hesitation on recommending bangkokbeyond

I have booked 3 days trip in Phu Tub Buek and our driver did a really great job. He suggested many scenic views and attractions to us. Moreover, the driver is on time, patient and very helpful. However, the only unsatisfactory is that they didn't contact me with driver detail and reconfirmation of the booking until I asked them. It is already one day before my flight to Thailand and the company promised me that they will keep in touch with me 3 days before my trip. Overall, it is a quite good experience with Bangkokbeyond and I will absolutely book with them for my next trip to Thailand.

Great tour from beginning to end, 10 out of 10. I screwed up when initially booked, Frank was incredibly accommodating, found us a evening tour the next night, if I forgot to say it ,Thank You.
Our guide and driver made this an unforgettable experience, professional, knowledgeable and fun. The flower market was a pleasant surprise, never expected this is something we would both like so much.

It was a pleasure dealing with Bangkok Beyond for our sightseeing trip in and around Bangkok. Frank did an immense job organising our itinerary and seamlessly communicated throughout. We were made so comfortable, right from airport pickup, sightseeing trips and airport drop off. The price quoted was one of the best with no surprises. The drivers were courteous, punctual and the cars were new. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

A perfect day with Bangkokbeyond for one day outside Bangkok. Driver on time at the hotel and very nice with our big family (5 children). Weather not good with rain and thunderstorms. Arriving at destination, Pantchanaburi, elephant riding very nice. Due to weather, we cancel Erawan waterfalls. Driver purpose us to see the river kwai train and drive us for a wonderfull experience and restaurant. Back to Bangkok for a little visit inside the city, with a big traffic and back to the hotel. A nice last day in Thailand with many things seen and a very sympatic driver.

We requested a customized itinerary from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, with 4 stops including a restaurant off the beaten path. Our driver Samer arrived in a large, clean van equipped with iced water. He was prompt at pick up and available whenever we were ready to move on. He was courteous, drove well and with certainty. Our 10-hour reservation ended perfectly when we were dropped back off at the hotel 9.75 hours later. Samer and the dispatcher Frank both gave us a high level of confidence and I would not hesitate working with them again the next time we visit Bangkok.
