Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your guide will meet you and take you to a quaint little market where you’ll be introduced to the most important ingredients in Thai cuisine. We’ll pick up what we need for our cookery class and chat to some local vendors along the way.
On our way out, we’ll try some street snacks and pick up some delicious desserts for later and then return to our house to begin the demonstration. The cookery lesson will be led by the awesome folks over at Courageous Kitchen, a remarkable not-for-profit organisation that works with local children to teach them about the importance of nutrition and to arm them with the tools they need to feed themselves and their families in the future.
We’ll have a refreshing drink before embarking on our culinary journey. Common dishes include tom kah coconut soup, the ever popular pad Thai, and stir-fried pad see ew with fresh rice noodles.
After all your dishes are made we can relax, eat and get to know each other better with the help of some delicious Thai desserts we picked up from the street stalls earlier in the day. Find out more about the charity and the inspiring work it does with the local community or grill your hosts on everyday life in Bangkok.
We hope that you enjoy using your newfound cooking skills for your friends and family back home, and we’d like to thank you for supporting such a great, local cause.
Before you go, don’t forget to ask your guide for advice on what else there is to see, do and eat during your stay in Bangkok.
