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.

I am very satisfied with the service provided by Bangkok Beyond. We have used the service on 3 days and the driver always came to pick us up before the agreed time. Very punctual and also very good customer service from Cherry. Keep up the great service.

Bangkok and beyond with professional English speaking driver
Eight of us booked a private driver to see the sights around Bangkok. From my first email to when the driver dropped us off after driving us around for 12 hours the experience was wonderful. Frank answered everyone of my questions from my multiple emails. Sumer our driver was great, he spoke wonderful English. He found a Catholic Church for us to visit, he managed Bangkok traffic, he managed a long boat canal ride and found us a wonderful place for lunch with a beautiful view. He was on time, courteous, the van was very clean and he easily agreed to an extra two hours. Friends are traveling in January and we plan to tell them to book with Bangkok and beyond. Thank you

We used Bangkok Beyond to arrange a car w/driver transport from Bangkok to Sukothai via Ayuttahya. Service was very responsive from initial inquiry and provided helpful advice to help finalize our plans. Arrangements were quickly finalized with confidence. Driver was on time and professional, and the car was quick and comfortable. They also helped to arrange a guide and comply with our specific travel itinerary, making it a total positive experience. Strongly recommend for stress-free planning.

This is the second time I have engaged Bangkok beyond For my family trip! I can proudly say that this is by far the best that we had ever had!. Frank is very patient, despite me keep changing plans, and asked for suggestions of places to visit.
The driver was so punctual, and so thoughtful, because I was traveling with a 2.5 years old toddler. he actually suggested us to leave the hotel earlier, so that we would not be coming back into Bangkok town too late. He also advice us on which are the crowded area to avoid, as it would be inconvenience for the toddler.

Overall, we are really satisfied with their service, and professionalism. !

I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family who are travelling to Bangkok in the near future!

Nous avons utilis? les services de Bangkokbeyond ? deux reprises lors de notre s?jour. La premi?re fois pour venir ? l'a?roport puis visiter Bangkok et partir pour 5 jours dans le Nord. Nous avons ?t? tr?s satisfaist des services: gentillesse, attention et efficacit? des chauffeurs. Un vrai plaisir.
Comme nous ?tions contents des prestations, nous avons demand? un chauffeur pour nos derniers jours ? Bangkok. Le service a ?t? sous trait? ? Siam Service Tour et l? quelle d?ception! Mark conduit de mani?re effrayante, ne fournit pas d'eau au retour des visites contrairement ? Tony et n'est pas de tr?s bon conseil dans ses visites. Si vous le pouvez insistez pour profiter des services de Bangkok Beyond!!

I got recommended to use Bangkok Beyond, and was satisfied with their service, especially with Cherry and their lead driver Tony. Our trip to HuaHin and Bangkok this July 2016 were catered with proper use of vehicles that make the journey memorable. Will certainly use them again when return to Bangkok.

We are a family with 4 adults & 2 young kids traveled to Bangkok on 22-25 June 16. Our driver, Mr. Tony was punctually waited for us at the airport. The 3rd day we booked to Meaklong Railway Market & Chocolate Ville which Cherry suggested us to pick up at 11am, however, Mr. Tony called me to my hotel room and suggest to pick us at 9am as he said it will be too late for children to come back from Chocolate Villa if we set off at 11am. He is so thoughtful and think further for our kids. He reached at our hotel at 750am and waited almost 1 hour for us! The whole trip, he was polite and quiet, helpful in providing information and drove very safe. We added another place and he friendly drove us there without hesitating. We felt so safe to be with him and our family are so happy that we have made the right choice. Once again, big thanks to Mr. Tony and Cherry, hope to see you again.

Their service was really good! Firstly, Frank is very patient. We had made many changes and had many questions, even before we confirm our booking with Bangkok Beyond. He was also very helpful in providing us with all the information we need. On top of that, our driver was very skilful - drove fast yet feels safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip as we really had time to ourselves - the driver was not too chatty, neither was he unfriendly. He was happy to provide us with suggestions, but did not try to hardsell anything to us. Additionally, water (and even ice box for ice water) was provided for us of which is definitely a plus point travelling in such a hot weather. Most importantly, we felt very safe travelling with him. Once again, thank you Bangkok Beyond!
