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

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.

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.

My family had a great time during our trip to Pattaya and Kachanaburi. Our driver, Amnuay, is always very punctual and attentive on our needs. He is always there waiting for us when we needed him, and always brought water for us to drink. He also acted as our tour guide showing us the different historical facts of the site we visit.
Recommend bangkokandbeyond for your travel tours here in bangkok, which is always safe and reliable.

We hired a a van and driver from Bangkok Beyond for our trip to Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and an elephant camp. Our driver, Ae was really punctual and being really patient with us especially with the amount of time we have spent in the floating market.

Before we went back to Bangkok, he dropped us at a place in which he bought us some fish food and lead us to feed the fish and pigeons around. This is an extra initiative from our driver and we were having fun with the activity.

Bangkok Beyond also offering a discounted fees for our boat and elephant ride in which we really appreciate.

I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Thank you for the service.

We had an eight hour layover in Bangkok, Thailand and we had wanted to see more of Bangkok before returning home. We researched different tour companies and chose a private english speaking driver to organize a quick tour.
Ong was very professional and was always on time from the time he picked us up from the airport to dropping us off at the international airport.
Ong had planned a private river tour on a longboat and we saw all the sights on the river and canal.
We then were taken to MBK for a little shopping and dinner before going to the airport.
I would highly recomend this company to anyone visiting Bangkok for the first time.
thank you so much

We hired a van and driver for full 2 days to travel within Bangkok .
The driver was polite, friendly and responsible. He waited patiently for us to do our shopping and told us where to wait for him, he is punctual as well. On our 2nd last day we even book the driver for extra 2 hrs to drive us out to somewhere for dinner.

On the last day my friend hurt her leg, when reaching the airport the rest of us get down frm the van to arrange all the necessary arrangement for my injured friend before boarding the flight, he waited patiently with my injured friend in the van and helped us to carry her up and down the van as my friend is not those light and small weight gal. Really very touch.

Even though the driver english is not very fluent but we still manage to communicate with him well and we even learn some thai language from him.. Really friendly driver. 🙂

Frank always promptly replied to my emails and arrange all my request for me before i fly .

Having a car available was very convenient when travelling and shopping especially when a bunch of ladies goes crazy shopping and you got alot of shopping bags to carry.

I would highly recommend this company.

Travelling with students on a study trip is often not the easiest of task with each of them having different ideas of where they want to go and what they would like to see.

Frank has made it so much easier and with convincing clarity provided ease of travel with minimum travel time to most places. We got to see all that we wanted accompanied with the professionalism and courtesy of his driver.

Terima Kasih!
