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.

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 had excellent service! After arranging all of our pick up times the driver was always there on time or early. It was nice to have the same driver for out time in Bangkok. The van was comfortable for the four of us and all our luggage. Communication was easy through emails. I would highly recommend them for getting around Bangkok!

My husband arranged a last minute day tour with Bangkok Beyond during our recent visit to the city. We began with a canal tour via longtail boat, then a tour of Wat Arun, and finally a visit to Jim Thompson house. Our guide Joy met us at our riverside hotel and we walked to a small pier and hopped on our boat. It was very interesting to see a more traditional side of Bangkok. After seeing Wat Arun from across the river for several days, we loved being able to see it up close in all its broken porcelain splendor. What a gorgeous structure! Finally, it was wonderful to finally get to Jim Thompson house - missed on our first visit 30 years ago. We can't thank Cherry and Joy enough for arranging this lovely tour last minute and for providing such a wonderful cultural experience! We absolutely loved each part of the tour - it couldn't have been better!!

My family and I had a great time on our trip. Bangkok Beyond was the best tour guide service I could have asked for!

I searched many tour companies before our trip to Thailand and Bangkok Beyond was the first to reply to my inquires and was able to accommodate our large group of 10 people (including 6 kids) and busy itinerary. As soon as we arrived at the airport, they had someone waiting for us to take us to our van. Bangkok Beyond took care of everything so I didn’t have to stress about anything! I am so glad we found them, and we will definitely use their services again when we visit Thailand in the future!

Some highlights:

• Great communication from the start! We sent them a long list of places we wanted to see, and the staff had great recommendations on our itinerary. They planned the agenda, was very flexible and accommodating.
• Our tour guide Pockky was the absolute best! She was very knowledgeable on all the sites we visited, had great recommendations on where to eat and shop. She was very kind and felt like family!
• Our driver was awesome as well! He took us EVERYWHERE and stayed with the car the whole time which made us feel safe because all our belongings were in the car.

Thank you so much.

We had a great time in Bangkok using Bangkok Beyond's services. I sent our 6-day schedule traveling between Bangkok and Chon Buri to the team and Cherry was kind enough to send us the prices. The driver, Paisan was always on-time and available via phone call. The prices are reasonable and I would recommend to all foreigners coming to Bangkok whether for tourism or for business purposes.

Bangkok Beyond was a great company to work with. We had an 8-hour layover in the city and wanted to see the highlights, so they set up a customized itinerary to fit our schedule. Our tour guide and driver were amazing. They showed us not only some of the great cultural sites like the Royal Palace, but some great local street food places as well. Would definitely use them again next time I return to Bangkok.

We did 12 days touring of Northern Thailand organised by Jane with our wonderful driver Phu,
It was fantastic-well organised, with plenty of flexibility. Our accommodation was always first rate.
Phu, our driver was very helpful and fun to be with.
This is our second tour with Bangkok and Beyond and won't be our last.

We had a great trip to Northern Thailand with Bangkok and beyond.
It started with a good communication before the journey and then we had a gentle driver who was always keen to drive us to seldom visited spots.
