Expert Tips
by Cat LauWhat 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.
