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.

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.

We booked Bangkok Beyond for our transfers to the hotel and airport, and also a day trip to see the Maeklong Railway Market and the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Cherry was really helpful with helping us organise the day and our driver Supoj was very friendly and greeted us with a smile each time we met - which made the day and transfers a joy.
Supoj was very prompt and was early so we were able to see the railway market first and not miss the train coming through. Floating market was a great experience and the drive to both locations was extremely comfortable. Supoj also stopped for us to get a cold drink of fresh coconut water, and gave us a brief history of the coconut plantation outside of Bangkok - which was a wonderful. We did a tour around the train market and floating market, to see search youtube for Geek Street Travels and search for Maeklong train market. We have definitely recommended them to our friends and will use them again on our next visit to Thailand.

Easy to work with and extremely responsive. Pricing was great! Had a group of 17 so used two vans to get around BKK, Hua Hin and Ayutthaya. Will be booking them again next time I'm in BKK.

I had a 6 days solo trip to visit many Thai Buddhist temples in Bangkok City and in a couple of neighboring provinces. I hired a private car with English speaking driver from Bangkok Beyond. It was a wonderful trip, all going smoothly as I have planned. I am very pleased with the spacious Camry and a very polite, decent and caring driver who made my travel very safe and comfortable. In the messy city of BKK, it is rare to find a tour service which is punctual, reliable and caring at the same time. I sincerely recommend Bangkok Beyond to serve you on your next visit to Thailand.

Thank you Frank for the transportation, accommodation and food arrangement. Frank did a very good job by giving us all the info we need and explain very well in every questions we asked. His kind assistance help us to save lots of time and money during our trip to Khao Yai and Bangkok.

Would like to thank Tony, our driver for his patient an good attitude. As we are travelling in big group with children & elderly, it’s never easy to handle. But Tony (Team leader) managed it very well and always being helpful. He also helped to accommodate our last minute changes, such as changes of lunch venue, shopping mall, etc. We feel grateful to have tony and his team being our driver and roadtrip advisor.

Strongly recommend Bangkok Beyond for its reasonable price and excellent service! Definitely will look for Bangkok Beyond again for our next trip in Thailand!

I got to know this service in my online research. Cherry quickly responded to all my inquiries. All the pre-holiday communication with Cherry was comfortable and smooth. We had a one night two days trip to Khao Yai from BKK with a driver Jo. We could communicate with him in English. He is very thoughtful and considerate of our taste and made us like him well. My son was initially didn't like to join this Khao Yai trip, but thanks to Jo's personality, my son had a good time on this tour, which we were pleased. We highly recommend Bangkokbeyond.com to my friends.

We engaged Bangkok Beyond for our excursion to Pak Chong area during Dec break. Our extended family of 11 managed to fit into a van.

We were worried that the van will be too cramped but it turned out fine. The journey was smooth as he drove very carefully and do not rush over (rare) uneven stretch.

Our driver (Sutas) has kindly recommended changes to our original itinerary with his familarity of the area. The revised itinerary has much shorter travelling time.

We strongly recommend your reliable and professional service.

Thank you very much for enabling our enjoyable visit!

We hired 3 different drives for various parts of our trip. Everything was smooth and professional. Our final driver, Mr Boy, was exceptionally courteous, punctual, and safe. The behind-the-scenes help from Anne was great, too! We will definitely use bangkokbeyond again. Thanks!
