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.

DAY 8: DEPART BANGKOK

We will have drivers standing by all day to take you anywhere inside Bangkok or to the airport.

My friends and I booked a van for 4 days in Bangkok last week. The 6 of us had a great time. Mr Tony was wonderful. He was always early, patient and kind. He is a safe driver too! We enjoyed the trip very much and we would definitely use their service again in the future. 🙂 I just recommended them to my friends who are travelling to Bangkok in the next few months!

My Daughter, Grandson, and Son-in-Law flew in to Thailand to join me and my wife for a Family Vacation. We arranged for a VIP Van and driver to travel with us for 7 days from Bangkok to Phitsanulok to Chiangmai. Samer, our driver was wonderful. He picked us up on the first day on time and accomodated our schedule and needs throughout the trip. Frank did a great job arranging all for us and answering all my pre-trip questions. I am very pleased with their service. I would highly recommend reserving them when your travel plans call for a Professional, Courteous, Gracious Travel company. I Look forward to seeing you all again on my next trip in August. My best, Greg.

Booked a couple of vans for 13 people during Songkran weekend. Frank (Managing Director) was more than helpful. Very hands on and answered all our queries. He also helped us out with a couple of special requests that other companies would never have agreed to. Drivers are very courteous and can communicate in English (this is extremely important in Thailand). I would not hesitate to book their services again. You should too! Thanks.

Booked with bangkok beyond after researching online and reading the good reviews.
Needed a van for our shopping trip. Liaise with Frank and he was very efficient in handling my request.
On the day, driver Mr thanon was on time, van was clean and comfortable and took us to the places we wanted to go. We were looking for car parts and he contacted the shop for directions.
Overall very happy with service and would recommend them. Would it use their service again? Definitely!

Many thanks to all the team Patricia Beattie.
