Includes welcome briefing and recipe booklet.
Bangkok Market Tour & Half-Day Cooking Class
Morning visit to Or Tor Kor Market (or a selected fresh market) with your chef-guide to shop for ingredients and learn how to select herbs, spices, and produce. Return to the cooking school for a hands-on half-day Thai cooking class where you'll prepare a 4-course Thai menu including a soup, curry, stir-fry, and dessert. Enjoy the meal you cooked together.
Dietary requests accommodated with advance notice.
Bangkok Cultural Morning & Flight to Chiang Mai
Morning at leisure or optional visit to Wat Pho or the Grand Palace (optional add-on). Transfer to the airport for a short domestic flight to Chiang Mai. Check into your boutique hotel in Chiang Mai's Old City and enjoy a relaxed evening exploring local cafes or the night market for snacks and small bites.
Optional: add a temple tour or Thai massage in the afternoon.
Chiang Mai Market Tour & Farm-to-Table Cooking Experience
Start early with a guided visit to Warorot Market to discover Northern Thai ingredients—lemongrass, galangal, local chilies, and regional herbs. Travel to a nearby organic farm or cooking school for a full-day, immersive farm-to-table cooking class focusing on Northern specialties (khua kling, sai ua, nam prik). Learn traditional techniques and enjoy a communal lunch with the dishes you prepare.
Bring comfortable shoes and sun protection for the farm visit.
Northern Desserts & Khantoke Cultural Dinner
Morning dessert-focused class or street-food tour—learn to make Northern sweets and snacks (kanom krok, khanom chan). Afternoon at leisure for shopping or optional spa. In the evening, experience a Khantoke dinner—a traditional Northern Thai banquet served with cultural dance and music. This is a highlight for tasting multiple regional dishes in one setting.
The Khantoke includes vegetarian choices if requested in advance.
Morning Market Visit & Departure
Early market stroll to pick up last-minute ingredients or souvenirs and a final short cooking demo—learn quick folds and plating tips for weekday dining back home. Transfer to Chiang Mai Airport for your onward flight.

Recent Thailand Reviews
Thailand With Zero Prior Trust, Full Delivery
Honestly, I was nervous giving money to a travel company I'd never used before. My husband and I had always planned trips ourselves, so handing over everything for Thailand felt like a big leap. But from the first call itself, the coordinator was patient, answered every silly question I had, and never pushed us into anything. Flights, hotels in Bangkok and Phuket, transfers — all sorted, no last-minute confusion. Hotels were proper good, way better than what I'd found on my own at similar prices. No hidden charges, no surprises on arrival. By day two, I'd completely stopped worrying. That's honestly the best thing I can say.
Thailand Package Cost Less Than My Own Research
I spent two weeks trying to piece together a Thailand trip on my own — flights, hotels in Phuket and Bangkok, airport transfers, everything. The numbers were not adding up. A colleague suggested TourGrids, so I called them. Within two calls and a few WhatsApp messages, the whole thing was sorted for my wife and me — proper 4-star hotels, all intercity transfers, daily breakfast included, and no hidden charges at checkout. The total came in lower than what I had assembled myself, and the quality was honestly better. The coordinator was reachable throughout and the itinerary had no dead time. Sometimes handing it over just makes more sense.
Thailand Booked on Trust, Every Detail Held
I'd never handed over an entire trip to a travel company before — always planned everything myself because I was convinced something would go wrong. But my husband kept saying let someone else take the stress this time, so we tried TourGrids for our Thailand trip. From the first call, the coordinator understood exactly what we wanted — not too packed, some beach time, good hotels without overshooting budget. Everything they promised on the call actually showed up on the ground. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time, no hidden charges at checkout. Even when our Bangkok transfer timing shifted, they'd already sorted it before I noticed. Honestly didn't expect this level of follow-through from a first booking.
Thailand Ran Calmly Because Ravi Never Logged Off
We were a couple of first-timers to Thailand, and honestly I was nervous about booking through a company I'd only spoken to over WhatsApp and one call. But the coordinator they assigned us — Ravi — was genuinely on top of everything. Phuket to Bangkok transfers, hotel check-in timing, even a last-minute restaurant suggestion in Patong — he responded within minutes every single time. One evening our cab didn't show and before my wife could even worry, Ravi had already arranged another one and sent the driver's number. Hotels were proper good, no hidden charges at checkout, itinerary matched exactly what we'd discussed. Felt like someone was actually watching over the trip.
Flight Delay in Bangkok, TourGrids Already Rerouting
Our Bangkok-Phuket domestic flight got delayed by nearly four hours, and I was genuinely worried the whole Phuket leg would fall apart. I messaged the coordinator on WhatsApp — Arjun — and within twenty minutes he had already spoken to the hotel, pushed the check-in, and rearranged the cab on the other end. My wife and I didn't have to make a single call ourselves. That moment honestly changed how I think about booking through an agency. The Thailand itinerary itself was well-planned — good hotels, clean cabs, no surprise charges at checkout. But it was that one afternoon in the airport that made us realise someone was actually watching over the trip.
Thailand Planned Over Two Calls and Done
I was honestly dreading the planning part — Thailand with my husband felt overwhelming to organise on our own. A friend suggested TourGrids and I just dropped them a WhatsApp message one evening. Within an hour someone called back, asked proper questions about what kind of trip we wanted, and by the second call the itinerary was basically ready. They adjusted the Phuket days when I said we preferred beaches over city time, and swapped one hotel after I mentioned budget. Flights, cabs, hotels — all sorted in one place. No back and forth with ten different vendors. The final cost had no hidden charges, everything matched what was discussed. Really took the stress out of it.
