Maliwan Thai Cooking Class

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.

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

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!

Super cool! Very informative and friendly, great market tour with lots of information!!! Thank you so much!

the entire experience from start to end was well coordinated, fun, and an excellent learning and eating opportunity! The instructor and her helpers were always near to guide and help!

Mae's Thai cookery class was brilliant. We attended as a family of 5 with 2 adults and 3 children aged 6-10. The tuktuk to the market to buy ingredients was fascinating and informative and Mae was clearly well known and liked. The cookery class itself was spot on, we learnt a lot as adults and Mae included the children and gave them tasks they could do independently. We created 4 delicious dishes and have lots of wonderful memories.

Really enjoyed Mae’s cooking class! The food is delicious, you get lots of tips and tricks from Mae and she’s super up-beat and fun. Her team deserves a big shout out too, helping the class go smoothly as we transition between recipes and keeping an eye on where everyone is to make sure you’re not missing any steps for your dish. The kitchen was hot, but we have handheld fans and plenty of water to keep us fresh, and the dining area is AC cooled. The market tour you begin the class with was awesome, it’s brilliant to go with a local like Mae who can tell you all about produce you’ve never seen before. It’s also cool to see the friendly relationship Mae has with all the vendors. 100% would recommend!

Great experience with Mae who guided us through local products on the market and then, in a very efficient yet fun way, taught us how to cook 4 delicious Thai meals! Big thank you to her and to the great group I was part of!

Very nice teacher. Market was great.

Market trip was fascinating. Learnt so much about the local food. Then back at the venue we cooked 4 lovely dishes. Great demo each time by Mai before the 6 of us then worked at our own station to reproduce the dish. Lots of help available if we needed it. Best bit was at the end when we sat and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Fab meal! Best Thai food I have tasted!!! Recommend this course 100%!

Shopping the market was a great experience. Loved the cooking classes!

It was amazing experience to visit local market, buy products which we needed and see what it looks like. Small group (6 persons) a lot of good. We prepare 4 Disney, and we couldn’t eat it. Course instructor had great energy and her English was also great. Only one thing to improve - too hot in the kitchen.

Friendly, enjoyable and very informative.

Very enjoyable experience from start to finish with tuk tuk ride to market then eating what you cooked, and the food was lovely.

The class was great.

We were taken by a knowledgeable guide to a local market where we learned about the various ingredients we would be cooking with. Once everything was picked up, we returned to the kitchen where we learned how to make Green Curry paste, Green Curry, Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai and Sticky rice with mango. The food was the best we had in Thailand thus far and makes you appreciate the impact of local ingredients. Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone staying in Bangkok.

wondefull people took care of us and were teaching us so kind and friendly

fantastic

I highly recommend Maliwan Thai Cooking class. The market tour was fascinating and I learned a lot about the local ingredients. The class itself was professionally and efficiently run. We each had our own cooking station and the ingredients were premeasured and set out for us to cook following an excellent and thorough demonstration. We each had a taste of the instructor's cooking in order to have a baseline to follow. She made it fun and interesting and ensured that we could replicate our experience, as much as she could. After cooking our individual entrees, we all sat down together for an enjoyable meal of our own cooking. It started and finished on time. My experience in Bangkok would not have been as memorable without this awesome cooking class. DO IT!

Shopping was fun and informative. The cooking lesson was very well organized. Teacher and assistant were very efficient. The dishes we made were good (but a bit too similar to one another: I would have preferred more variety in tastes and ingredients, and more fruits and veggies). Also, 5 pm for us is an odd time of day to eat. Finally, I would have preferred somebody's "real" kitchen. Your kitchen is perfect and very well equipped, but kind of undescript and pretty Westernized. Thanks Mae, we gad fun! xx

If Mae and her lovely kitchen assistant weren’t tasty enough, the food they assist you in creating is truly spectacular. They made us feel very welcome and at ease on arrival, and the whole experience (market tour and cooking class) underlines the depth of knowledge, passion and enthusiasm they have for their craft. A must-do when in Bangkok. A Johns (UK)

Little hard to find location...but once there we had a wonderful time. Good combination of things to do..tuk-tuk to market, tour through the market and then back to cook. Great pace and great support during class. Also food delicious! Must do when in Bangkok!

I love travelling and learning different cultures. I own a souvenir shop back home and i collect souvenirs from different countries. This time, i was able to bring a unique souvenir with me and that is my own experience in Thai cooking. The market tour was a delight! My eyes feasted with Thai herbs and spices. Getting know the people in Thailand makes you realize that diversity is what brings us together united. The richness of Thailand is not only through its view and places but is the people and the food. I was with another group of tourists and we all became friends, enjoying the cooking lessons and eating our finished dish together. They were all very genuine and kind. And thats the souvenir id like to bring back home.

We really enjoyed the market tour which was really educational. Mae was a great teacher, food was delicious and we would highly recommend the class to others. Wilma and Julie - Australia

Market tour and learning about everything was very good. Good choices of dishes to learn. Small group was good.

Mae and her assistant were nothing short of amazing! Traveling to the local market via TUK TUK with basket in hand we were able to learn more about the local culture and about foods we were completely unfamiliar with! The class was fun and our end result delicious!

Mae and her assistant were amazing in every way. Her English was perfect which was so great at the local market when she explained everything we were seeing. After walking the market and purchasing our ingredients we went back to the school and the class was detailed and such fun. Every student was responsible for creating their own menu and the payoff was a fabulous meal at the end! I highly recommend this!!

Everything was on point : from the welcoming drink to eating our self-prepared traditionnal Thai dishes. Our wonderful teacher took us through a local market, and then showed us how to make each dish from scratch (we made the curry paste ourselves). And the best part of it, of course, was that you get to eat what you made. I would definitely recommend going to Maliwan Thai Cooking Class when you're in Bangkok.

Including the Maliwan Cooking School in our schedule was one of the wisest decisions we have made on our travels. The tut tut ride to the market, walk through the market with Mae explaining what the different items were, and the culminating activity of preparing Thai dishes and eating what we prepared provided a unique experience into the culture of the country.

We consider the morning spent at the alias Cooking School the highlight of our week in Bangkok. The tut tuk ride to the local market, Mai's explanation of what flavors the different vegetables and spices would provide,, and the actual preparation of classic Thai dishes all led up to the climax of eating the delicious food that we had prepared ourselves. The experience provided a genuine taste of Thailand!

We really enjoyed Maliwan cooking school. Mae explained cooking instructions very well ...even my Partner who doesn't cook very often was able to follow. Highlight was going to the Market selecting fresh product and of course eating our finished dishes. Yum!

Taking a cooking class while in Thailand is part of the experience! Cookly does a wonderful job. Take a friend and you will have great fun!
