Expert Tips

Food Writer · Trained Cook · Hungry Traveler

" Enjoy traveling by tuk tuk to a small local market to buy Thai ingredients. Back at the school, you will be rewarded with a glass of iced lemon tea before getting into your apron. "

What I liked: The details that Mae gave us about each ingredient and each dish. It's a good class for people who want to cook the dishes again once they get home. The school is near Khaosan road, the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. Perfect to walk and explore the area after your cooking class.

What to know: The school is hidden between two streets and can be hard to find, but ask a local and they will happily show you.

Good for: There are many details and secret techniques in Thai food, which can be the key to making a Thai dish successfully. The structure and focus of the class makes it good for those who want to come out with a good grasp of the cuisine.

Best way to get there: Go to Ratchathewi BTS station and the get on a motorbike or tuk tuk that should cost you 100 baht to Khaosan.

Excellent

Me and a couple of friends did the small group cookery class in Bangkok. Interesting market visit learning about Thai produce and food culture. We then went back to the school and were helped through 3 different but classic dishes. Useful guidance and tips all the way through. We then ate our creations. The host and her team were great.

Organised and delivered what we expected

We chose the morning market and comedy class which was well organised and well delivered and we felt we got very good value for money.Mae knowledge at the market of produce and the people was a real eye opener to Thai life . Little different than shopping at home

Immersive, educative and wonderful cooking class

If you're interested in Thai cuisine, I would definitely recommend booking this cooking class. We had in-depth cooking demonstrations held by the chef, a visit to the local market to buy ingredients, and we got to cook 3 meals (for me it was Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup and green curry - the chef also taught us how to make mango sticky rice!) Of course, we got to eat all of our food at the end! It's quite affordable (£35), and all transport to the market, and all ingredients are included in the price. Not to mention throughout the cooking class, the provide you with drinking water, and anything you may need. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!
