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.

We had a great trip with bangkokbeyond! We booked a van for party of 10 for 3 days 2 nites from bangkok to khao yai. Our driver Tony was patient, smiling, obliging, non imposing and punctual.
Before the trip, Frank was detailed in his answers to my questions and he was frank! No hidden costs and honest company. Would definitely recommend them!!

One thing that I like about Beyond Bangkok is that they quote a price including the petrol, toll, parking etc and no other surcharge. The person-in-charge (Frank) provided me some helpful suggestions on the planning of my trip which some other companies did not. I've booked a van and driver for 8 persons and the van was spacious and clean. The driver (Nong) was very friendly and patient person despite of the bad traffic in Bangkok due to the Christmas holidays. Overall experience was good and will recommend this company if anyone wishes to book a tour sightseeing.

This is my first time book a private driver and I would say that day was the highlight of my trip. My family and I truly appreciate the services provided by bangkokbeyond. They were prompt in their replies and the staff were friendly. Also, they communicated fluently in English and were accommodating towards our request. Thank you for the wonderful service and we look forward to future reservations with Bangkokbeyond. Wishing you all the best in your business!!:)

ABSOLUTELY SATISFIED.

No hidden charges or anything like that. Everything was as agreed for during planning in which Frank had also thrown in some good tips on how to get the most of our time per day.

The wan was very clean and very comfortable.... and the driver Thanit was very prompt, polite and knew exactly what was needed by us after we explained things to him. I had no problem at all with communication throughout my 2 1/2 day with Thanit. I would like to thank him for all his suggestions too. In which, all had turned out to be good suggestions. My advice to you guys, just listen to what he suggests/recommends.

Again, absolutely recommended.

To Frank and Thanit, thank you so much for making our trip such a wonderful one. Full with wonderful memories.
