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.

I had the pleasure of using Bangkok Beyond for a 5 full day car and driver engagement. The pre-trip commincations was outstanding. Alec was clear and everything we agreed to was accomplished with no issues whatsoever. Jackris, my driver, was professional, responsible, always on time, thoughtful (cold water and towlettes, grapes and even bought me an umbrella when I left mine in the hotel) and an excellent driver. Jackris had my itinerary and never kept me waiting. He communicated well via phone. I would do it again in a minute as it was worth every penny for the ease of getting around safely. I would give this service a 5 star rating. I will use them again when I am next in Bangkok. Great job!!!!

Found Bangkok beyond through google and made an enquiry through Facebook. The Customer service agent, Alec is very prompt in replying, patient, flexible and fluent in English. I did not have any difficulties in communicating to them on what i need. Everything was hassle free. Our driver, Samer is very punctual and patient with our last minute changes. He even helped us to call out to some cafes as we had to made some last minute changes due to the rain. The directions was very clear during our airport pick up. Overall there is nothing to worry about. Will definitely recommend to others!

With the experience I had with Bangkok Beyond, I would highly recommend you to use their service because they are responsive and efficient. The whole experience was really pleasant and no hard sell at all. I’ve booked a day trip to Kanchanburi and I really enjoyed the entire ride! Sunthorn was our Driver, he was really nice and ensure that we reach our destination safely. Overall, a 5star service and will reach out to Bangkok Beyond again should I require similar service!

Excellent service, clean and nice car. We booked a car with driver for a 10-hr sightseeing trip to Ayutthaya. Jane, the person who helped us with the driver arrangements, was helpful and prompt in her communication. The driver, Tong, was friendly, helpful, and reliable. We had an enjoyable trip.

My driver, Mr Tonor, arrived slightly earlier than the scheduled timing. Total time that was in the ride was a whopping approximately 5hrs! Mr Tonor had been a very safe driver throughout the ride. I guessed more than 70% of the time during the ride, I was sleeping soundly and safely. Will definitely recommend for customers who valued safe ride as the TOP most important feature. Definitely one of the best driver you can get if the ride is for the whole family.
