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

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
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.

We were met at our ship on time, actually a bit early. Our guide and driver were very professional and friendly. All admissions were covered. In our case, we completely changed our itinerary. Our guide got on the phone with Frank and arranged everything in a matter of minutes. Showing us all the great photo locations was great. Keeping us away from crowds was a bonus. We highly recommend this company. Wish we could have stayed longer so we could have done another tour with them.

We had a really good experience with Bangkokbeyond. Before the daytrip from Bangkok, Frank answered all our emails promptly and made sure we got a trip suiting our needs. I found the daytrip reasonably priced and it was easy to cut something out of the suggested itinerary. The driver showed on time, took us safely (important,) to 2 markets that we had chosen. Communications were easy with the driver and the car was comfortable, clean and had no chemical/fragrance scent which was important to me due to allergies. I warmly recommend this company!

Abbiamo prenotato i primi 5 giorni del nostro viaggio in Thailandia con Bangkok Beyond e ne siamo stati contentissimi! Nop, il nostro autista, ? stato gentilissimo, preciso e paziente! Si ? preso cura di noi e dei nostri spostamenti, ci ha dato consigli sempre corretti, ? stato presente ma discreto. Ci aspettava, puntualissimo, con acqua fresca e morbide salviette rinfrescanti, e ci ha sempre ben consigliato per il cibo, rispettando i nostri ritmi serrati. Ad ogni hotel dove ci fermavamo si assicurava che tutto fosse in ordine e ci lasciava solo dopo aver verificato che fossimo ben sistemati. Ci chiedeva in anticipo dettagli sull'itinerario del giorno successivo per essere preparato e non farci perdere tempo. Grazie a lui, in 5 giorni abbiamo visitato l'area del fiume Kwai prima e la Thailandia centrale poi, passando per Ayuttaya, Sukhotai e Si Satchanali (splendide!) in soli 5 giorni, arrivando sino a Chiang Mai! Ringraziamo di cuore Frank per l'organizzazione e Nop per la professionalit? e la simpatia!
