Join Chef Heidi Fink in a Culinary and Culture Tour of Amazing Thailand!
Through cooking classes, market tours, and visits to cultural monuments, this women’s-only tour is designed for you to experience the delicious national cuisine of Thailand and some of its cultural traditions.
All prices in CAD, limited to 12 people per tour
Traditional Thai cuisine has been heavily influenced by the neighbouring countries with whom it shares an ethnic history as well as the lingering imprint of Western missions, resulting in strong regional variations. Explore some favourites through cooking classes and market tours in Bangkok and Chiang Mai!
We will start our exploration in Bangkok, which is equally famous for its cultural monuments as its vivid street life. We will sample both with a cooking class, market visits and tours of two of the most famous temples.
Next, we head north to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand and now home to some of the most magnificent ruins in SE Asia. Ayutthaya is steeped in centuries of art and culture of which cuisine plays a large part, so we will also enjoy a cooking class with a local chef on board a traditional teak barge while taking in the majestic views of this region.
Moving north to Chiang Mai, we will experience the influences of Laos, Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam on northern Thai dishes.
Internal flight (approx $200), International airfare, travel insurance, personal expenses, and meals not mentioned in the itinerary.
Heidi’s Chinatown Tour is personal, informative and inspiring. I felt like I had been on a micro-holiday. Afterwards, I went straight back to the shops to gather some supplies to feed my refreshed enthusiasm for Asian cooking.Victoria, BC
