Escape the chaos of the city and take a guided, full day tour to the Thai countryside just outside of Bangkok.

You begin this tour with a scenic drive in an air-conditioned vehicle through the green belt outside of Bangkok. Watch a different world go by as you pass lush fields, lotus ponds and other typical rural landscapes that make this such an enjoyable excursion from Bangkok.

After a short stop at a coconut grove, where you will see the processing of palm sugar from coconut sap, you will hop into a boat to scull across the Nakorn Chaisri River. Enjoy your views from the river before heading back on land to walk though a 170-year-old Thai-Chinese settlement at Baan Lumphaya. Here you will learn more about the village and day-to-day life before cooking your own authentic Thai lunch made from ingredients selected from the fields you’ve just seen. A tour highlight for sure.

After lunch you will proceed to a wickerwork village before making your last stop on the journey back to Bangkok at an orchid farm to see Thailand’s national flowers in full bloom.

What a great day out! We were picked up from our hotel and headed to the market with our guide to buy provisions for our Thai lunch that we were going to help cook. Our guide was great and explained about all the fruit and vegetables we saw as well as all the different spices and pastes. Live fish, frogs and eels in abundance. Boat trip down the river in a 200 year old boat was also great but not for those with a dodgy back or 6 ft tall as getting on and off would be difficult. Worth it though as we were steered down the river to the coconut farm. Locals great and friendly and we tasted coconut milk and the sugar made from it.

After that we went to a traditional Thai house and were instructed on Thai cooking techniques, table set by our hostess. Lunch was lovely, even the spicy soup, us all complimenting each other on our efforts! Both our teacher and guide were excellent and encouraged the whole group so we all had a laugh at our skills! This is a must away from the city! Countryside is beautiful and commentary second to none. Learnt lots and even got a free recipe book to recreate recipes at home. Went to see locals basket weaving and bought a ‘curry puff’ handbag, a fan shape that took 2 days to make! Only one guy on the trip but he loved it so it’s not just for the girls!
