Cooking with Poo and Friends

It was great to go to the wet market first and see all the amazing produce. The market was full of life and very hectic and hot but this is what a market is all about. Poo was full of enthusiasm for her cooking and also how this was helping her community as well. So interesting to see the poorer side of Bangkok and to see where Poo lived. She should be very proud of herself that she has managed to create a successful business which is also helping her community to improve.

We had a fantastic experience at Poo’s cooking class — definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The morning started with a fascinating visit to a local wet market, where Poo and her staff showed us where she buys all the fresh ingredients for her classes. We then went to her cooking school where everything was very well organised and relaxed. We cooked three delicious dishes and finished with mango sticky rice and fresh local fruit. It was so enjoyable being shown how to cook authentic Thai food and needless to say, everything tasted amazing! Poo and her team were incredibly friendly, helpful, and entertaining throughout the three hours we spent with them. A wonderful experience that we would highly recommend.

Poo was our guide, and she was wonderful! Great energy and the food was delicious!! I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would say this tour is more about learning about Thai culture and their food and less about actually learning how to cook. But that doesn't detract from the experience. It's just nice to know what your expectations are when you book.

The class was so much fun and to top it off Poo and her team are incredibly kind!

Poo and her assistants helped demystify Thai cooking to make it feel much more accessible to an average cook such as myself. Because of her class I will definitely be cooking some Thai favorites in my own kitchen.

Second time doing this class. We brought friends along and they totally enjoyed the experience. Don’t be late because the market is so unique. Poo has upped her game from our last visit in 2018. This is a “must do” on a Bangkok trip.

This was an amazing experience! Thank you so much Poo and her staff for this memory 🤩

Glad Poo was there.

This class came highly rated by friends and I must say it was delightful. Poo and Tai were prompt and friendly from beginning to end. The visit to the market was great, with a lot of information provided about what we were buying and why. Being welcomed into Poo's home and learning how her class helps her community made for a very rewarding morning.

This is the second time I have done this trip - both have been excellent. Professionally run and a lot of fun.

Loved the visit to the market and loved the wonderful Thai dishes we prepared. Poo and her helpers are lovely!!

Inspirational, knowledgeable, with infectious enthusiasm for what she does and for people in general, she so graciously shares a window into her life and that of her neighbourhood! So much more than just cooking authentic Thai dishes! Get a feel for the market experience, shopping for freshest ingredients! Poo does so much for others with her success! She is a true role model, mentor, and entrepreneur offering hope and setting an example for others in her community to follow. She is proof that success does not need to benefit only one person or family!

Taking customers on a market tour for cooking was extremely informative. A lot of experience with items used in the recipes chosen for each day. So many choices would tell students which items to recommend for the rest of the options.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience of joining a Cooking with Poo class. Poo has a wonderful personality, very friendly, fun, and a great cook! It was a wonderful insight into life in Bangkok and going to her local market to buy produce first, then taking it back to her home to cook was an authentic experience- and very delicious too! She had many great cooking tips to share with us and her knowledge of Thai produce was fantastic! I have recently moved to Bangkok to retire, so I will definitely be joining another one of her classes on a different day of the week so I can learn to cook more of the tasty dishes on her four course menu. I loved going to Poo’s neighbourhood and enjoyed this non touristy experience. Thank you Poo- you will see me again!

We really enjoyed touring the Khlong Toei market with Chompu and friends. After driving back to her cooking class, she demonstrated how to make the dishes and then we prepared them ourselves. I appreciated that she taught us how to make single-serving portions of dishes that weren't too intimidating! Chompu's personality is so warm and engaging, which made the day special.

I loved to walk through the market while getting explanations. Poo and the team are so friendly and funny. Cooking with them was a fantastic experience. Thank you so much!

I love Thai food and I have attended several cooking classes before. Cooking with Poo and friends is simply the best. Due to the charming and inspiring character of chef Poo, one not only learns a lot about Thai ingredients and spices but also what people can achieve when living their dreams like Poo. Also a big thank to Cookly- you helped me to meet my class after I run late due to the incomparable Bangkok traffic.

Really enjoyed the overall experience and the food we made was delicious.
