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.

Bangkok and beyond with professional English speaking driver
We were delighted with the service provided by you in Bangkok and thoroughly enjoyed all our travelling with Samer.

He was a lovely fellow, always on time with a smile to greet us, and was an exceptionally good driver. He obviously knew his way around and took us
to the places we chose for our itinerary.

His English was very good and easy to understand and he made our trip memorable.

We are so happy to find such a reliable car rental company, Bangkok Beyond. Frank is very helpful and fast responding to our emails.

We are very satisfied with the service especially, the driver, Mr. Tong who is so helpful and so punctual. He knew the roads so well that we had never been late for our business meetings. Great job.

Thank you Frank for agreeing to our repetitive requests to have Mr. Tong serving us!!!

I would like to thank you for the great service provided! My boyfriend and I had a really great tour with Tong around Bangkok. Communication with both- company and driver were easy, no language barrier. The driver spoke good english, took us to eat where locals eat (on our request), told us about few sights as we drove past. The car was new, air conditioned. Would really reccommend booking a tour with bangkokbeyond.

We have used Frank and Bangkok Beyond several times when we have visitors who need safe, reliable transportation for an entire day. We have also used them to take us to the beach for long weekends. Frank is a true professional - responsive and organized. Khun Samer, who has been our driver several times, is wonderful. Highly recommend!

After reading positive comments about this company I booked them to collect 4 of us from the airport and take us to Kanchanaburi district. He was on time, polite, spoke good English and drove well and carefully. He had cold mineral water available for us every day.

Prior to our trip, Frank liaised with myself, deciding on a suitable itinery that worked very well. We had the use of driver and van for three days. Our main aim of going to Thailand was to attend Hellfire Pass north of Kanchanaburi, for a dawn service for ANZAC Day, as well as look around the area, visit the war musiusms, war cemetery, the Thai Burma Railway and The River Kwai. Our driver Samer, was always ontime (including a pick up at 4.45am), kept an eye out for us and was very flexible.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing to get around Thailand and will definitely use them again on my next trip to Thailand.

Our family & partners (8 ppl) went to Bangkok and booked for airport transfers and 3 days out of Bangkok. Totally great experience, awesome drivers and service 100%. On time, safe, clean & tidy van. We wanted someone who would take care of us while travelling and even contribute on how we could use our time to best effect, make suggestions and changes to our plans as we were over time in most stops along the way. These guys really came through for us. Thank You, made our trip special.
We will recommend you to our friends and use your services again.

We first used Bangkok Beyond in April 2013, I took my then 8 month old and 4 friends on tours around Bangkok. Since then I have used the service 3 more times. I am a frequent Bangkok visitor and always get a driver for airport transfers.
The drivers are always on time, speak English and honest. I have also used this service for a trip to Hua Hin, and various sighseeing destinations around Bangkok.
Excellent Service, Excellent value!
FANTASTIC DRIVERS!
