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

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

Bangkok Beyond offers an outstanding service from beginning to end. We booked a van and driver with them for our family's trip around Thailand in April / May 2022 and couldn't have been happier with every aspect of the booking process and the trip itself. Tony is not only an excellent, reliable driver, but he also helped us with everything else we needed on the way. We are very grateful for his and Oh's kindness, professionalism and 5-star service. Thank you so much, we hope we can come back soon!

I booked a driver via Bangkok Beyond as I was staying in Bangkok for a short period, but I wanted to see sights outside the city including Lopburi, Wat Phai Rong Wua (Suphan Buri) and the Maeklong Railway Market.

My driver from Bangkok Beyond was excellent. I felt safe in his company, and he was friendly and helpful at all times.

He took me to all the places I wanted to see outside Bangkok, and I did not feel rushed or under pressure at any point - he was happy to wait while I explored and took photos.

To see unforgettable sights outside the Thai capital, I would highly recommend the friendly and trustworthy service provided by Bangkok Beyond.

We are a family of 3 from Singapore and we have booked a two way van transfers from Bangkok to Hua Hin with BangkokBeyond in December 2021. It’s our very first family trip since 2019, due to COVID-19, we were cautious and looking for reliable and safe transfers service, after reading the positive reviews online, we went ahead with BangkokBeyond. The booking process was straight forward, Oh was very responsive and patient, we communicated via what’s app. Oh answered all my questions/concerns prior to booking and deposit payment was required to confirm our booking via PayPal which is convenient and safe. Driver information were given before our arrival in Bangkok. Paisal was our driver, he is a very polite, courteous, friendly, patient and experienced driver. His van was clean, spacious and we were comfortable, he was driving safely and he even shared a bit of history about certain areas that we passed along the highway from Bangkok to Hua Hin. Paisal is always punctual and helpful. Overall, we really had a very good experience and would definitely recommend BangkokBeyond 100%. We will definitely engaged BangkokBeyond again when we travel to Bangkok again. Thank You ?& Keep up the good service!

With the unpredictable Covid-situation, I was looking for a company to assist me with all my needs to get me safely from Bangkok to Phuket. After receiving different quotes from different companies, I can truthfully say, from the first professional email interaction, Frank was focused on customer service and satisfaction. Never did I have to worry about a thing. Outstanding service by the company and in the future I am a loyal customer of theirs.

We had the pleasure of having Tong as our driver! The whole drive to our final destination was smooth and enjoyable. We were particularly impressed by their flexibility with regards to our inquiry as we booked our whole trip just a few hours before our departure.
The car was clean and well serviced. Moreover, the whole team helped us with each question we had. Additionally everyone has an advanced level of English which makes it the perfect for internationals!

We can highly recommend Bangkok Beyond for everyone who wants to have a great and safe travel experience!

Bangkok Beyond was a good match for us. We needed an experienced driver to take us to Rayong for a weekend get-away and had an unexpectedly better time because our driver, Nop, knew where to go in the town for select market options. Not only that, but the service operated just as it promised on paper: picking us up on time, returning us on time and safely. They also responded efficiently and quickly to my questions, unlike a few other car/driver rental services in Bangkok. I not only highly recommend Bangkok Beyond, but plan to arrange another trip for next weekend - hoping they are not fully booked already.
