During MASTERS EXPO, Travel Platinum is offering a sneak peek at one of the most delicious trips of 2026: a culinary expedition to Thailand or Vietnam, led by top chefs Ron Blaauw and Dick Middelweerd. Includes a delicious program at the booth with live music, stylish drinks, and of course, plenty of travel inspiration.
Travel Platinum is going all out at MASTERS EXPO with a booth that will tantalize your senses and get your travel heart racing. On Thursday, December 11th, they'll kick things off with cocktail receptions, live music by Danjil Tuhumena, and bites by Ron Blaauw. This will mark the official launch of their new culinary journeys to Thailand and Vietnam.
Because let's face it: traveling is fun, but traveling led by two top chefs is a different story. During these exclusive group tours—small-scale, stylish, and meticulously organized—you'll discover the richness of two of Asia's most flavorful cuisines.
Thailand
Thailand, from June 24 to July 5, 2026, guarantees a flavor explosion. In Bangkok, you'll dive into the legendary street food scene with Ron and Dick, visit local markets, and learn all about the balance of spicy, sour, salty, and sweet—the foundation of Thai cuisine—in cooking workshops. The trip concludes in style on the coast, where the chefs will prepare an exclusive private dinner for you.
Vietnam
Vietnam, from November 10 to 21, 2026, offers a different taste sensation: fresh, elegant and subtle. From steaming bowls of Phở in Hanoi to crispy Banh Xeo pancakes and fresh seafood in Ho Chi Minh City, of course with fresh herbs and a local touch. Together with the chefs, you will discover their favorite culinary gems, far from the beaten track. You will stay in boutique hotels that perfectly match the atmosphere of the country: understated, stylish and special.
