Your Travel Itinerary
Your Thai adventure kicks off as soon as you land in Bangkok. Our team will greet you at the airport and take you to your hotel in the heart of the city. Take some time to settle in and maybe explore the nearby area. In the evening, you’ll join your fellow travellers for a delicious welcome dinner featuring a spread of traditional Thai dishes. It’s the perfect chance to meet your travel buddies for the next few days.
Start your day with a unique bicycle tour through Bang Kachao, Bangkok’s “Green Lung”. This unexpected oasis of nature in the city will surprise you with its lush gardens, elevated paths, and traditional wooden houses. Along the way, you’ll see a Burmese temple, local farms, a Muay Thai gym, and other hidden gems, making it more than just a bike ride. After a local lunch, you’ll cruise the Chao Phraya River on a traditional long-tail boat, watching city life unfold along the banks. Towards the end of the day you’ll visit to two stunning temples: Wat Arun, with its intricate porcelain decorations, and Wat Saket, where you’ll climb the Golden Mount for a breathtaking sunset over the city skyline. It’s the perfect introduction to Bangkok’s blend of chaos and serenity.
Today, you’ll dive into Thai culinary traditions with a twist of social impact. Your cooking class, “Cooking With Poo,” takes place in Khlong Toei, one of Bangkok’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods. You’ll start with a guided tour of the local market, a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells. Learn about exotic Thai ingredients and select fresh produce for your class. This class has even caught the attention of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has visited and praised the experience. Under the guidance of local cooks, you’ll prepare authentic Thai dishes. The hands-on experience not only teaches you about Thai cuisine but also gives you insight into daily life in Khlongtoey and supports local initiatives. You’ll leave with a full stomach and a fuller heart.
It’s your final day on your Snapshot tour. The morning begins with a visit to Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, one of Bangkok’s most iconic temples. You’ll reach it by boat along the river, taking in the sights of the city from the water. After exploring the temple, your Bangkok Snapshot tour comes to an end. It’s time to bid farewell to your newfound friends in Bangkok.
