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 was really pleased with the quick and well organised service. I needed a tour organised that was not typical, sent my request and a response plus pricing quickly ensued. Driver arrived, all requested sorted and the driver was careful and courteous. Really pleased that the operator meet my needs. Thanks!

With my recently concluded trip to Ayutthaya, Frank successfully gave me memories to last forever. My driver was Tong, and the car (Camry) was clean, comfty (I slept on my way back to the hotel) and cool. The driver's knowledge of the area was astounding.

Frank was always prompt to reply to my email queries. Bangkok Beyond is highly recommended. I will definitely use the service next time I return to Bangkok.

Bangkok Beyond has been very professional and prompt in responding to my booking of a full day car + driver to Ayutthaya from Bangkok. Frank replied in perfect English and communication was easy. The driver was excellent and very reliable and honest. He even took initiative to bring me to sights to see the real life of the people. I would use them again and highly recommend Bangkok Beyond to all who needs help in Bangkok. 10/10.

Went to Bangkok for only 1 night and had Tai as my driver. Very impressed with the fact that he had two bottles of water ready for me in the car to quench my thirst! He was also patient with the fact that I arrived at my hotel half an hour late due to customs. He sent me off to my destination and also the airport very promptly and was very nice even though his command of English wasn't that excellent. Would recommend Bangkok Beyond to anyone needing a driver!

Anyone familiar with the nature of tours in this and many other regions of the world will understand just how great this service is. The driver picked us up on time, drove us safely and professionally directly to where we wanted to go and **only** where we wanted to go, was always precisely where we needed him to be when we had finished our stops and drove us safely and professionally directly back to our hotel.

It was everything we could have possible wanted from a day tour and nothing more. (Note that in the more tourist dependent areas, it doesn't take too long in the low season to get quite tired of being asked whether Mister wants to buy something, which is why the respite for an entire day was so warmly welcomed. We were also quite a self-sufficient group, so a driver who either knew when to play it low key or was naturally reserved suited us perfectly.)

We were very happy to have our driver. He was always on time, friendly to talk to and patient.
We had a lot of fun during our trip with him.
I would recommend his service to anyone who doesn't know Bangkok and who wants to discover it.
