For lovers of Thai food, this 11-day culinary tour is the ultimate gastro experience. Begin in Bangkok where a dizzying array of flavours are at your fingertips. Combine classic city visits (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, klong tours and the Train Market) with local specialties such as Somtam (papaya salad) and Pad Thai. Top the Bangkok portion of the visit off with a hands-on homestay cooking experience before moving north to Ayutthaya.

In between discovering the ancient capital’s vast temple ruins, sample some of this royal region’s famed dishes in one of its best riverside restaurants. Journey further into the countryside to the valleys of Pak Chong and Khao Yai for some winery visits, wildlife spotting and temple tours before an immersive Isan cooking experience in Khon Kaen. Discover more historic regions in Phitsanulok and Sukhothai before a final few days in the far north.

Jumping between Chiang Mai and Mae Chan, embark on a comprehensive gastro experience featuring traditional street food markets, northern Thai cooking classes and hillside community visits. Wrap up the tour in Chiang Rai with a chance to further explore the north independently.
