Tour Details

Enjoy a scenic boat ride, market tour, cooking class and lunch with a fun-loving local chef at her beautiful, riverside home. Your host will pick you up from the BTS station and drive you to two markets. First, stop at an extensive wholesale market where over Thai snacks and coffee, you will discover a huge variety of produce, seafood and noodle makers. Next head over to the bustling local Don Wai market where you will discover regional produce - you will seldom find a non-local here.

Hop in a boat from the nearby pier and enjoy a breezy and beautiful boat ride along the serene Tha Chin river to your guide's riverside home. Enjoy a refreshing drink before you roll up your sleeves to slice, dice and learn to cook an authentic Thai meal in the well-equipped studio kitchen. After your cooking class, share some of the dishes that you helped create. Be prepared to share many laughs over drinks with your charming and fun-loving host who loves sharing her culture and cuisine with travelers.

What Makes This Tour Special

The tour features a visit to two distinct markets including a large wholesale market and a regional local market, a scenic boat ride on the Tha Chin River, and a hands-on cooking session in the chef’s private riverside kitchen. Participants prepare an authentic Thai meal using fresh ingredients sourced earlier in the day.
  • Access to a large wholesale market rarely open to tourists.
  • Boat ride that offers a view of riverside village life and natural surroundings.
  • Cooking session led by a local chef in her private home kitchen.
  • Opportunity to learn about regional ingredients not commonly found in central Bangkok.
  • Lunch featuring dishes participants have cooked themselves.

Historical Background

The Tha Chin River area, where the boat ride occurs, has served as an important waterway for trade and daily life in central Thailand for centuries. Don Wai Market, located nearby, has operated for decades as a local hub for fresh produce and regional food specialties, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the Samut Songkhram province.
