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.

Our driver Paisan is very good, gave detailed commentary along the way to Meaklong Train Market and gave good suggestions on where to go the rest of the day. But nothing beats the prompt and attentive response from Frank when we were busy discussing options with him via email while shopping in BKK central. I'll recommend Bangkok Beyond's professional service to anyone who needs help navigating around Bangkok.

GREAT EXPERIENCE, we contact them just few days before going to thailand, our initial driver let us down and we were lost with very important business meetings, in two days we had to go to meet a lot of people in different areas of bangkok and some even outside bangkok. I explained everything to Frank over an email before and they advised us on the schedule, they organised the best road for us to take in advance, our driver was very polite and was on time every and each time. Everything went smooth and we could achieve all our objectives on time. Will definetely use their services again.. RESPECTFUL EFFICIENT AND AFFORDABLE I highly recommand Bangkokbeyond for everyone visiting Thailand!!!

Bangkok Beyond has been really professional and reliable!
We already knew what we wanted to visit, so we were looking for a car with a driver for a couple of days near by Bangkok. We contacted Frank and Cherry by e-mail to arrange the renting and they helped me adjusting the plans I had in mind. We payed a little deposit in advance (1000 baht) and the rest in cash the first day of our renting. The driver Thanit arrived on time both days. The first day we visited the Damnoen Saduak floating market and surrounding and Thanit suggested us some more places to visit in order to get the most of our experience in Thailand. The second day we visited Ayutthaya and Thanit helped us to arrange the tour among the many temples. He has been a perfect driver. Thank you Bangkok Beyond!

We needed support for our move from Bangkok to Jomtien and got it from Bangkok Beyond. The service was provided for an attractive fixed price. The execution was very good in terms of communication, reliability and friendly behaviour of the driver. Can only recommend Bangkok Beyond to friends in case the have similar needs.

Bangkok and Beyond has offered me unexpected and excellent service level. I have been visiting Thailand for last 15 years or so and have never found this type of service level in Thailand.
Mr. Frank responded to me in a very timely manner, the driver Jo was excellent, knowledgeable and unusually safe driver.
I have no hesitation to recommend their service to anyone.

I found it by Google. No other words than excellent.
Communicate with Frank via email and whats app, he answer everything i need to know and also suggest better trip/route.
I go with 28 group members divided into 3 vans on August 11 - 13, 2017. All cars were good and fresh. Only one minor issue, according to passenger, van 1 driver (white ones, with AT transmision) is not to smooth in driving, only a little brake in bad road.
The other two driver are very nice and good, Sam and Akhom (or maybe Akom). we also get complimentary mineral water in the van.
Some 5-10 minutes late is not a problem, because the traffic is also very bad when we were there.
I give Bangkok Beyond 8.5 out of 10.

Thank you for answering all our queries Sir Frank. Me and my friends really enjoyed our tour in Ayutthaya, Pattaya and Bangkok City.

We also would like to commend Mr. Supot for taking care of us on our 4 days trip in Thailand. He patiently wait for us, punctual and he's fun to be with (he tells us stories about Thailand, and recommend places where tourists and locals loves to go to, that's why we're excited on our next visit and hopefully he will be our driver again). He treats us not just as tourists but also like his own children ?

Bangkokbeyond is really the best. We will surely recommend you guys to our families and colleagues.???
