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
Everything about our interaction with Bangkok Beyond was excellent. Frank was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Our driver to Ayutthaya couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. He helped us plan our day and worked hard to make sure everything went well. It made for a really special trip.

Perfect! We had a great time travelling to Khao Yai with Nong from Bangkok Beyond for a 2D1N trip. Should have book a longer tour! Nong was not only our driver, he was our tour guide; showing us the ticket counter, our translator; speak to the local to get our tickets/food and of cos our friend! He was warm and approachable, entertaining my 10 years old chatty boy. Accomodating to our needs as we have my parents along. This is our best local tour booking ever of all the places we been. Never so close with our driver before. Highly recommended!!! And we will be back for sure!

It was our first trip (4 friends) to Thailand, BKK and we decided to go for a full day service to get shown around from a local.
Perfect decision, our driver Sutas did the most possible in the amount of time we had and he was really cool and patient if we had special inquires. 😉

Definitely suggest Bangkok Beyond and the whole Team!

See you next time.
Thanks

We hired car with driver for two days from Bangkok and beyond. We traveled to floating market and Kanchanaburi and Erawan waterfall.
The service we received was beyond expectations.
Driver Tong was very punctual. polite and helpful.
He showed us areas around and told us about thai culture and history.
Planning and communication with Frank was very easy.
I would recommend this company especially Tong and Frank to everyone visiting Bangkok.
I will use this company again on my revisit in couple of years.

On November 9, 10, 2017, I took two day trips that through the kindness of Frank at Bangkokbeyond were hastily arranged. Every aspect was perfect. They were easy to pay for online. My car and driver arrived on time at my rather difficult-to-find location. The driver was excellent and the car comfortable. I had an English speaking guide each day. My experience with Bangkokbeyond could not have been better and I highly recommend the business.
