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
This was my first trip to Bangkok with my friends (6 of us in total) and we were looking to travel out of Bangkok for some days of our trip. I chanced upon Bangkok Beyond while doing a Google search for companies who offered van rental services. Replies to my queries about their services were prompt (within a day) and prices were also very reasonable. On the days that were hired the van, Samer (our driver) was extremely punctual and would always be found in our hotel lobby waiting for us. Travelling around Thailand became a breeze. The van was also very comfortable and well maintained. The next time I'm back in Bangkok, I'll definitely look for Bangkok Beyond again. Thank you Cherry & Samer for the excellent service provided!

We contracted with Bangkok Beyond on one of our “free days” from our main tour of Thailand. We reserved a van for 12 and had a pretty extensive itinerary. Mr.Thanit, our driver, was prompt and was mindful of our schedule and the different places we wanted to visit. He arrived at our hotel early and kept us on pace to be sure we got to go everyplace we wanted to go. We highly recommend them.

I and my husband used Bangkok Beyong service for 3D2N trip to Khao Yai. Everything went smoothly from the very beginning to the end. Frank is very prompt and sincere. The car was clean and in excellent condition. The driver, Tong, is very helpful too. We used similar service before from other vendor but it wasn't as good as this one. We definitely use Bangkok Beyond again in the future.

We used Bangkokandbeyond for airport transport and day tours for the total of three days. We had a flight issue on our way there so we missed the 1st day and BangkokandBeyond was more than understanding. Mark and Ann, our hosts, were just as wonderful as can be. They made us feel like we were family and we definitely missed them a ton when we left. Would highly recommend BangkokandBeyond wholeheartedly.

It is a blessing for us to find Bangkok Beyond to provide a van and driver for our visit to Bangkok last month. Frank had been very helpful in our arrangements and the driver Thanit could communicate in English. He was very punctual and helpful. We really appreciate their service and we had a great time in Bangkok especially at the Art in Paradise. Will definitely use their service again if we visit Bangkok in future.

Highly recommended! I used Bangkok Beyond service for my work trip in Thailand. Our first trip to Nakorn Naiyok went smoothly. The driver was on time and the ride was a breeze. So we booked Bangkok Beyond again for our second trip in Thailand, to Ayutthaya. Everything went very well and smooth, thanks to Frank, Cherry and our two drivers Nong and Samer.

A big thank you to Mr Frank and his team of Bangkok Beyond , .
Thank you for such wonderful arrangements. First time I booked transfer thru online and after running thru several agents websites, I saw very good reviews on the services of Bangkok Beyond and decided to give it a try. Mr Frank is very understanding, helpful and prompt in replies of my emails and calls. No hidden charges and reasonable rates quoted for my 7 days transfer arrangements.
Tony , our driver for 6 days is excellent. My family are very happy with Tony, he is very punctual, always arrived earlier than the arranged time, soft spoken, polite, attentive, accommodating and fabulous driving skills. Samer , another driver send us off to DMK airport on my last day is also very good. Van is comfortable and clean.The weather at Bangkok, Pattaya & Khao Yai were tremendously hot during our stay 3-10Feb17 which was 35C daily , the air condition of the van is not cooling enough but we understand its not the fault of Bangkok Beyond .
As I am working in a travel agent in Ipoh, Malaysia, I will definitely recommend Bangkok Beyond to my customers and friends . Keep up the good work.

We went to Bangkok from 30/1/17 to 5/2/17.
We picked Bangkok Beyond to take us around Bangkok for 2 days.
Our driver, Ton was a safe driver. He was friendly. He showed us delicious places to eat at Chinatown.
Suggestions by Frank on places to go were well chosen.
Thanks Ton and Frank!
