Bangkok Thai Cooking Class in Traditional 100 Year Old House with Market Tour

Walking through the market, cooking and eating delicious Thai food has been a extremely positive experience. Teacher was knowledgeable. Only less positive point is that recipe booklet provided is not equal to the sequences done during the class, but results are equally good.

Host arrived at meeting point on time. Explained schedule for afternoon. Very friendly and spoke good English. Took us through market and explained what ingredients were needed. Cooking venue was reached by tuk tuk at no extra cost. Cooking venue was clean, spacious and air conditioned.. Actual cooking lesson was fun and interesting.

Cannot reccomend this class enough! Nam, our teacher and head chef for the day, was so charming, kind and funny and made the hours flew by. We learned a lot about Thai food and made delicious dishes and had the best time, it was the highlight of our stay in Bangkok! Make sure to come hungry!

Was one of the highlights of my Bangkok visit

The process was well organized. Our leader was kind and fun. We enjoyed the foods we prepared and had an enjoyable afternoon.

Great options for vegans and vegetarians. The market tour was super interesting

Excellent class. Really enjoyed it!

Well organised, lovely teacher. Explained very well. Wonderful venue.

So much fun and happiness! I am a solo traveler and joined the class by myself but the teacher Ning and other four participants were so nice and welcoming. I had a great time cooking and having conversations with them. The wet market tour filled with excitement! Love checking out the variety of fresh vegetables, seafoods and spices lined up! Tuk tuk ride to the kitchen studio was fun. Our teacher Ning was a funny and charming. We cooked 4 dishes, so everyone should starve yourself to join the class! It was my first time cooking Tom yum kung and curry from the scratch. Also the first time to try mango sticky rice but it was surprisingly good! This cooking class is highly recommended!!

Our teacher was such a beautiful person, she taught us well and made it fun and the food was delicious. The other people working there were also so kind, efficient, and good at their jobs. It was a great experience.

Organisation was superb Menu was excellent Very enjoyable experience overall Many Tks indeed Karen Barkley

We had a wonderful morning, and enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was perfect, very professional and welcoming. Everything was very organized and clean. The food we cooked was delicious. Our teacher was extra nice and she really made our day. We really recommend and would join another class in our next visit to Bangkok.

I have learnt 4 famous Thai dishes. It was a good experience 👍👍👍

My Husband and I completed a cooking class yesterday with Cookly. Our teacher was Ning, she was so funny, passionate and enthusiastic she really made the experience even more special. We found the whole experience to exceed our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We walked away much more knowledgeable of Thai food and ingredients. We also noticed how clean the building was in general. Thank you Ning and your lovely team.

We really enjoyed this class with an entertaining and knowledgeable cook. The 100 year old house is amazing, and the market visit not to be missed. Highly recommended !

Nothing, was really nice, learned some Nice things👌

We had an outstanding teacher - her name is NIND, she was absolutely fabulous! smart and professional and funny and she gave us an experience we will never forget! The food was very delicious as well! Thank you for your hospitality.

Wonderful experience. Just couldn't have been better. Learnt some more about Thai ingredients and how to use beyond the hour dishes we could. Highly recommend.

Such a great way to spend half a day! Very well organised and informative! The market visit was really interesting; and it was so much fun making and cooking the dishes! Ning was so lovely and charismatic - she really tied the experience altogether! 100% would recommend this experience!

Naan was super vriendelijk en gemotiveerd om ons een fijne en leerzame middag te bezorgen. Eerst naar de markt om verse ingrediënten te kopen en toen met de tuktuk naar de kookschool. Leuke manier van kookles geven. Gezellig en prima gegeten!!!

A really engaging and we'll organized class. I feel I was immersed completely in a world of cooking excellence à la Thailand. Our instructor Nam was really professional at conveying the concepts and guiding our clumsy efforts and the results were both beautiful to look at and then, later, to consume! In less than 5 hours we shopped, got advice on what the market offers, selected ingredients, prepared, cooked and consumed 4 signature Thai dishes. Fantastic value and a great learning experience!

This was a highlight of my trip to Bangkok. Tour of market to buy produce, then off to cookery school. Everything was done beautifully. Chef was such fun and food was gorgeous. Highly recommend . 5 stars

The organization was perfect. We went to the fresh market to buy our fresh ingredients then went to the school class where they are taking care of everything so we can cook in the perfect and enthusiastic atmosphere. And I have to say our teacher was always in a good mood, joking and making everyone feel comfortable. I definitely recommend! Note : don't eat before going there :)

It has been our greatest experience in Bangkok. Ning has been wonderful with our (small, only 5 people) group, she was funny, bubbly and every other great adjectives you could think off! Everything was really well explained by her, from the market to the kitchen! Important point: THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We are so happy to bring the knowledge home thanks to the cooking book they gave us 🫶🏼 We HIGHLY recommend this course 😊 Thank you again Ning and your team !

Nous avons passé 4 heures riches en découvertes visuelles, gustatives et olfactives. Nam est un enseignant hors pair, qui a su nous guider à travers les dédales d'un marché typique où nous avons acheté une partie des ingrédients que nous avons ensuite cuisinés sous sa direction bienveillante et enthousiaste. On alterne entre préparation et dégustation de quatre plats différents dans un décor accueillant et agencé avec goût. Un incontournable de Bangkok!

I absolutely loved this class. My friend and I loved it. Would recommend taking this class

What a perfect way to spend the day, visiting the local markets and learning to cook authentic Thai food from SCRATCH like literally milking coconuts and adding local ingredients that are not ready-made with a fun group and a great chef and mentor (Nan), we had such a wonderful time and the food we made ourselves was so delicious made us think we could open our own restaurant. Definitely would recommend anyone who wants to have a unique experience outside the normal activities in Bangkok. 10/10.

We had a range of cooking skills from very good cooks like my wife through the range to me who is a complete novice. This was after 7 days in Bangkok the most fun day for everyone. Thank you very much! - Bro Potter and Family

We had the best time in Bangkok at this cooking class. It was lovely! If you plan on going to Bangkok, you HAVE to go to this cooking school. The teacher was amazingly funny, easy to understand, and it was such a great experience to learn how to cook Thai food. Thank you for this amazing day!

Loved this cooking class! Our teacher Gung was really friendly, helpful and had interesting anecdotes about the ingredients and cooking techniques. We made coconut milk and tamarind paste by hand, and we each got our own wok for cooking. Between meals, the staff clean up so everything is ready and prepped for your next dish. Come hungry- between the four dishes, the cost of the class is worth it for the amount of food itself! After the market tour, the class includes a short tuk tuk ride to the school. We will definitely try to cook these dishes at home!

My friend and I did a class with Naan, and it was an outstanding experience! I highly recommend this class to anyone - no matter what cooking experience you may have. Naan is fun and knowledgeable and is the perfect guide for learning how to cook Thai food. The house is beautiful and the way the food preparation - cooking - eating areas are set up makes for a seamless experience. The team's attention to detail and eye for presentation adds to the experience and fills you with delight!

We enjoyed the cooking class very much. Nam was a very good teacher, and we learned a lot and the food was very good. I would book it again and again. Thank you for that experience.

Before I also tried another cooking class in Bangkok but in comparison to this one it was just so plain. I registered for morning class, and we went to the market with our teacher Nam together. He’s very responsive and knowledgeable about everything in the market. Nam is really considerate and friendly, while cooking he also introduced us the alternatives for certain ingredients that are not so easy to find in where I live. The food turned out so good and I’m definitely going to try to recreate the dishes at home. Can only recommend this course!!

I also tried another cooking class before in Bangkok but in comparison to this one it was just so plain. I registered for morning class, and we went to the market with our teacher Nam together. He’s very responsive and knowledgeable about everything in the market. The rhythm of the class is also.

I really enjoyed the class. Nam was such a great teacher and chef. He talked to each one of us, give attention to each one of us and showed interest as well as knowledge of our country origin. The session was awesome and fun. We talked a lot, learned a lot and of course ate great food a lot. Silent moments were only when we were enjoying our food, it was so good that everyone keep digging on our own plate and forget our conversation. I highly recommend this class.

Khoun Nam is an amazing teacher! He explained a lot of things to us at the market about how to choose every item (and about Thaï food & ingredients) and described every step while cooking. Everything we cooked had an authentic taste!

Goon was an amazing instructor. She was very personable, enthusiastic, and funny. She taught me so much about Thai culture and food. The food tasted great and was amazing. I would definitely attend another one of her classes.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok, nestled within a quaint and beautifully preserved 100-year-old traditional Thai house, my culinary journey at Cookly was nothing short of magical. The charm of the venue is undeniable, instantly setting the stage for an authentic Thai cooking experience. The class was a blend of culture, cooking, and camaraderie, designed for anyone with a passion for food, from complete beginners to more seasoned cooks looking to add Thai dishes to their repertoire. The highlight for me, aside from the mouth-watering dishes we prepared, was the sheer joy of sharing this experience with other couples, including my date. There’s something about cooking together that creates an unforgettable bond, and Cookly certainly fosters this beautifully. Our adventure began with a visit to a local fresh market. Our instructor was a fountain of knowledge, not just about the how, but also the why of choosing the right ingredients. This market tour was more than just a shopping trip; it was an insightful cultural immersion, peppered with tips on what to select and what to avoid to replicate the authenticity of Thai flavors at home. Back in the serene ambiance of the Thai house, we donned our aprons and got to work. The dishes we learned - Phad Thai Chicken, the ever-zesty Tom Yum, and the sweet indulgence of Mango with Sticky Rice - were taught with patient guidance and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Each recipe was a door to understanding the delicate balance of Thai cuisine, and our instructor ensured everyone was engaged and enjoying the process. The class was conducted in a relaxed yet organized manner, allowing us to savor each step of cooking, without feeling rushed. Laughter was as much a part of the process as the cooking itself, making the class not just educational but genuinely fun. The cherry on top was the recipe book provided to us at the end. Not just a collection of recipes, it included beautiful photos of the dishes we created, serving as both a souvenir and a practical guide for when we try these recipes at home. In conclusion, whether you’re a curious tourist, a budding chef, or simply a food lover seeking a fun day out, Cookly’s Thai cooking class is a treat for the senses. It was an experience that exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to dip their toes into the rich waters of Thai cuisine.

We've joined the morning class with a visit to the local market. Nam really took his time to passionately explain all the ingredients and adapted to me as a vegetarian as well. The preparation of the dishes was smooth and very well organized, the team was amazing! I really enjoyed making Thai food from scratch and discovering more ingredients and spices. In the end, we received all the recipes in a little book to cook at home. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It packed half-a-day that was both interesting and entertaining, but most of all delicious! Nan was a fabulous guide around the market and teacher-chef and I was so pleased with how the dishes turned out, and will definitely be trying them at home. Shout out to the rest of the team who also worked so hard behind the scenes preparing everything so the experience was seamless and packed into the 4 hours. Thank you!

Abbiamo partecipato alla classe di cucina durante la mattina. La nostra insegnante è stata Nam, ed ha veramente reso l’esperienza perfetta. La prima parte si compone della spesa al mercato di quartiere, abbiamo adorato questa parte soprattutto l’entusiasmo di Nam nello spiegarci le cose. La secondo parte si svolge nella scuola, che è immersa nel quartiere e la sensazione è di essere a casa di un local. Abbiamo cucinato il Tom Yum, una zuppa pazzesca, il Pad Thai (non siamo più riusciti a mangiarne altri per quanto era buono!), il pollo al curry e mango e sticky rice. Tutto era buonissimo e Nam ci ha spiegato tutti gli ingredienti e le preparazioni nei più piccoli dettagli, facendoci entrare proprio all’interno delle ricette. È stato molto bello anche stare con il gruppo e condividere i pasti nel social table. Forse dalla recensione si capisce che siamo veramente molto contenti di aver partecipato 😁 Grazie ancora! Claudia e Alberto

This was the best cooking class I have ever done in my life! Starting from the market, Naan was very professional, funny, and polite. We made 4 dishes and all of them were explained to us in a great way. Also, the school is amazing. Everything is clean and already set up for us. I really suggest everyone take this cooking class!

Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the lesson very much. I appreciate that they have a small class of 6 people. Hence, they can guide us effectively during the process. Nan, our teacher, is accommodating, funny, and knowledgeable. The market tour is great. It is an actual local market. Thus, there is a cultural immersion. They are highly recommended.

We were in the cooking class with my family of 5 and a Korean family of 3. Naem made it a great experience! We went to the market to buy ingredients and learned a lot about what to choose and why. The dishes were nice to prepare and cook and the taste was great. I definitely recommend this cooking school! Naem speaks very good English and has a great sense of humor.

This class was one of the highlights during our Bangkok trip. Gong was a fun and informative instructor and always made sure that everyone in the group was doing okay. It was fun to make new friends from France and Korea. The market tour was so nice and we took a Tuk Tuk to the cooking class venue. This was really nice because we were interested in the Tuk Tuks in town but hadn't tried yet being afraid of being ripped off. The food we made was the best Thai cuisine we ever had, way better than the restaurants. I think it has to do with the fresh ingredients straight from the market and the traditional way of cooking. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience, we will surely be back.

I was there with my daughter, we spend a really good time, a lot of laughs and a lot of great food. Our chef was really concerned, also about the environment as we can see at the market. I truly recommend this place, we have done a few and this time was our favorite. Thanks again for the experience. Geraldine and lily

This class is small and amazingly planned! The recipes came out delicious & surprisingly easy! Gong was amazing, knowledgeable & passionate about Thai food. Highly recommend it!

Gong was a great chef and made the entire day fun and informative. I highly recommend Siamese Cookery School while in Bangkok

Nam did a great job. It was a lot of information and tips for thai cooking. The visit to the market was such a good start in this afternoon!
