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

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 are group of 14 people and are satisfied with the service offered by Bangkok and Beyond. Our driver, Mr Thanit and Mr Aunam (if I spell it correctly) was very helpful and punctual during our 3 days with them. For those of you who need to rent the car/van during your trip to Thailand, don't hesitate to contact them. And Cherry from bangkok and beyond was really helpful and prompt in replying my emails. I will definitely use this company again during our second trip in the future. Many thanks to Bangkok and Beyond, great job, we are all SATISFIED!

We (group of 9) initially linked up with Frank to engage the service of day tour but dropped the plan as our friends offered to bring us around instead. In the end, we only engaged the airport transfer service with Bangkok Beyond. Despite the several changes that we made, Frank demonstrated his professionalism and was patience to understand and find all ways to meet our requirements. The driver was also punctual and the van was in clean condition. Will definitely engaged their airport transfer services if we wish to travel to Bangkok again. Highly recommended.

Mate, bangkokbeyond is the best. A group of us Australian expats living here in Chiang Mai organized through Frank a trip down to Kanchanaburi for the 100th ANZAC day. We were picked up at Suvarnabhumi airport by our driver Tony and driven down to Kanchanaburi. The next few days were great. Tony drove as around to some of the major attractions around Kanchanaburi and most importantly, drove us to Hellfire Pass at 2.30am for the ANZAC Dawn Service before returning us back to Bangkok. The service Frank and Tony provided was great and the price was more than reasonable. Living and driving here in Thailand for 15 years I can honestly say our driver Tony was a safe, professional driver and someone you could trust and enjoy spending time driving around with. I will be organizing my next trip in Thailand with bangkokbeyond.
