Authentieke Thaise kookles in een gezellige keuken in Bangkok.

we made four legit Thai dishes and honestly, the step-by-step instructions were so easy even I couldn't mess it up lol. the food? pure fire 🔥 plus learning about actual Thai ingredients and culture was such a vibe. it didn't feel touristy or fake at all, just super cozy and authentic. also huge shoutout for the Bangkok recs, total lifesaver! 10/10 experience, no notes ✨ if you wanna actually learn how to cook Thai food hands-on and not just do basic tourist stuff, you NEED to go here. tysm for having us!! 🤍

Enjoyed everything. Chef Joyce is an expert but also funny and an incredible human being. This is another goal achieved. Thanks joyce

The whole experience was easy-going, fun and really well organized. We cooked some fantastic Thai dishes, learned a few new tricks and laughed a lot along the way. Such a lovely way to spend a few hours in Bangkok — would absolutely recommend it!

For all French people and others passing through! Go for it, it's an amazing experience! Joy is attentive, kind, funny, and a great teacher! She lets you take the lead but guides you step by step! The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are delicious. Joy explains everything about the ingredients, and her husband is also there to take photos and chat! Finally, the price is more than reasonable, especially considering that my package included two main courses plus some side dishes to discover all about Thai culture! They are wonderful people, go there for a truly local experience! Thanks again, Joy! For English readers, just go! It's a wonderful, clean, and beautiful place with awesome people! The products are good, and the dishes are amazing! Joy talks with you, and she's really friendly. You get to discover Thai culture with great people! The price is super affordable, and after the cooking lesson, you can visit the Big Buddha! Anyway book it you won’t regret it 🍚❤️

The Thai cooking workshop with Joyce is highly recommended; it's a fun atmosphere in a small team with individual attention for everyone, and she explains everything very well. I didn't know that the meals we made were so easy and quick to prepare. So, if you want to learn how to make these dishes, go to Joyce and you'll have a great evening – take it from Mister Hans. 😃

Had a great time learning to make and eating 4 different popular Thai foods. The kitchen area is really nice and the host does an excellent job with all aspects of the class. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun afternoon. Would take again if there was a class of additional recipes.

We learned how to make mango sticky rice, tom yum soup, pad Thai and the best green curry I ever had. We also got to learn the names of all the raw ingredients and taste and smell everything before using it. They provided alternative ingredients to cater to different dietary requirements such as vegetarian or no shrimp.

All 4 dishes are very tasty. Friendly and professional atmosphere. Khun Joyce (chef) is very kind and warm-hearted.

She is really friendly and made my first Thai cooking experience great.All of the dishes were simple but delicious. You will leave full, refreshed and happy. The area around the class is also pretty interesting, lots to explore and see.

Seriously if you are into cooking, love Thai food or love to learn about other cultures, I can't recommend this class enough. We had so much fun and Joyce is an incredible cook and teacher. She's so patient, knowledgeable and fun. She taught us how to cook the most popular Thai dishes starting from scratch, even making our own coconut milk! I also want to thank Pao who learned it was my birthday and improvised a cake and sang for me. What a great guy! Seriously, what a great time we had. I hope everyone comes and show Joyce and Pao some love, they truly deserve it. Thanks!

It's the best cooking experience I've ever had, and one of the best travel experiences I've ever had! Joyce is amazing; she took the time to explain each ingredient, and we made everything from scratch. I truly learned to cook four different dishes that turned out delicious. It's not just a tourist activity; it's a wonderful cultural exchange. I recommend it 100%, and I would happily do it again. Thank you, Joyce and Pau.

This cooking class was one of my favorite things I did in my two weeks in Thailand! I always loved Thai food, especially Thai noodles, and am not the best chef. Our chef Joyce was so knowledgeable and helped us understand all the ingredients, then took us step by step through each dish. They even let us made an extra favorite (pad kra pao) of the couple I was doing the class with. We made homemade coconut milk, tom yum soup, pad Thai, green curry, pad kra Pao, and mango sticky rice. They were so fun and nice and made it a fun and calm atmosphere with music, table setting, work stations, and water. This was also a small group class which I loved (only me and another couple). This class was a great experience and got me excited to make these dishes at home! I even bought a wok and some ingredients to take home with me the next day. Also come hungry because you will be eating 3 meals and mango stick rice for dessert!

There are many cooking schools in BKK and I based my decision largely on the menu offered. What makes Mahanakorn Thai Cooking Class different: - Small business ran by the extremely kind, lovely and competent cook, Joyce - The class is offered nearby Wat Panknam Phasi Charoen - Joyce had the time and took me to the temple after the class! - The food was delicious. Joyce went through all of the ingredients so patiently and I feel like I can make the dishes at home. Would I recommend Mahanakorn Thai Cooking Class? More than I can put into words! I will contact Pi Joyce for future trips!

Incredible experience i was on the only person in the class so had a private cooking lesson. Joyce was lovely and super friendly. I had so much fun. She put on music and let me pick songs. I made a variety of dishes including, mango sticky rice, Thai green curry, pad Thai and Tom Yum soup. She taught me all about the herbs, spices and vegetables that we used to cook with. All the ingredients are freshly bought. If you book directly on her website Mahankorn thai cooking class you can get a discounted price compared to get your guide. Also she does different meals based on the day so take a look at her website to see what day suits your appetite best. She caters for vegan and vegetarian people to if you let her know in advance. I would highly recommend to others it’s also a 2 min walk from the Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen and the hidden Bangkok bistro. Making it very convient if you have a short time in Bangkok.

Joycez and her husband are fantastic. No one else signed up for the class, so we ended up with a private cooking class. Her class size is always small, which is why we signed up for this one. The space is great, there’s a cooking station and a chopping station. And the FOOD is INCREDIBLE. After a fantastic introduction to the different foods and herbs we would be working with, we made tom yum soup, pad thai with shrimp, green curry with chicken and sweet sticky rice with mango. I had asked Joycez if it was possible to also make papaya salad, and she even added that into the menu free of charge. Every single thing was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. I had no idea that green curry made from scratch could be so delicious. This was everything I wanted in a class— small, personal attention, delicious food, great and engaging explanations. I also like that it wasn’t directly in Bangkok city so that we got to see a less touristy part of the city. Thank you so much Joycez, I truly hope we will see you again and get to take another class from you!! We will be talking about this experience for a long time.

This was so fun and so informative! We had a fabulous evening and so much delicious food!

My sisters and I booked this class last minute. We had to change days, and they were very accommodating to our last minute changes. Chef Joyce was very friendly and knowledgeable. She explained all the ingredients to us and their importance in the recipe. We made pad Thai, chicken fried rice, tom yum soup, and mango sticky rice. She let us make the fried rice instead of the usual green curry, since fried rice is one of our favorite Thai dishes. Everything was delicious! We had a great time and would definitely bring friends back. Looking forward to bringing these recipes and trying them back home. Thank you Mahanakorn Thai Cooking Class for such an amazing experience! 😊

This cooking class was an unforgettable experience! From learning to make fresh curry paste in a traditional mortar and pestle to cooking a delicious bowl of tom yum soup, every step was hands-on and fun. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the instructors were very knowledgeable, sharing great insights about Thai cuisine. The kitchen was well-organized with individual cooking stations, making it easy to follow along and cook our own dishes. After cooking, we enjoyed our meals together in a cozy setting. The staff even took great photos and videos for us to remember the experience! If you’re in Bangkok and want to dive into authentic Thai cooking, this class is a must. Highly recommended!

This was an experience I will treasure forever. Joyce you are a such a wonderful human and a fabulous cook. As soon as I arrived I was greeted with the natural warmth and charm that is Joyce to her soul. Refreshments were offered and I was then shown the upstairs cooking area that was immaculate and very well organised . Joyce has remarkable english speaking skills so conversation was effortless and fun. I was taught authentic Thai dishes of Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Green Curry and Mango Sticky Rice. Every dish had fresh ingredients ready for me to cut up and even pummel in a mortar and pestle. Such fun! Joyces knowledge of the why and how to use such ingredients was incredible and very informative. I loved the wok used so much that Joyce, the great gal she is, after the class actually walked me to the market and vendor that she bought her wok from. And yes - the wok came back to Australia with me !! At the end of making each dish, Joyce would set up a little dining area and as I enjoyed my creation, Whitney Houston would be singing in the background. Such great memories. This session would be fabulous for a family, group, couple - or like me a solo trip - which my husband organised for me. Such a great day in a really authentic Thai family neighbourhood - school kids, schools, parks, a canal and mum/dad shops - and of course the 7/11!! Thankyou so very much Joyce and all the very best to you and your family. Warm hugs, Jacquelynn Cooley, Australia.

Highly recommend this class!! Elite vibes with elite authentic food!! We had the most amazing experience with Joyce, she is so warm, informative and friendly! Best of all, the food was quite easily the BEST Thai we had ever eaten - 5 stars for everything about this experience!! Best in Bangkok!

Learning to cook thai food in a traditional way is a whole new experience . Joyce has designed the course wonderfully, she gives a lot of attention and makes the whole three hours so much fun . Would 100% recommend

Excellent cooking class! Joyce is the best. She is full of personality and very knowledgeable on the nuances of Thai cooking. She is very patient and very generous in delivering a through cooking class. Thanks to Joyce, I returned home with knowledge on how to prepare 4 delicious authentic Thai meals. Pro tip: go hungry so that you can enjoy every morsel of the 4 meals you will prepare1

This class was so much fun and Joyce was the best!! She was showing us how to do everything and made the class a really great time. Highly reccommend!!!

It was a wonderful way to end our trip to Bangkok with learning how to cook 4 tasty Thai dishes. The instructor made it easy for us and I now feel like I can do this once I get home. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about Thai cooking and Thai ingredients.

Our cooking guide was very knowledgeable and excited to get to know us! She had examples for all the types of food and vegetables we would be using and let us try each beforehand. Thank you Joyce for such a fun experience!

Super nice experience in a non-commercial cooking class in a small group..derived from the family, definitely worth supporting....I can only recommend anyone!!!! A bit remote, but worth the journey at any time!!

This class was so fun!!! Mrs. Joyce is so fun!! She will have you engaged for the whole class and the food is amazing!! Please check her out!!

An unforgettable culinary highlight with Joyce! If you’re looking for the absolute best cooking experience in Thailand, this is it! We had an incredible time from start to finish. Chef Joyce is a total star! She is so kind, incredibly welcoming, and always wearing the biggest smile. She made the whole experience fun and easy to follow. We cooked four different dishes, and every single one of them was delicious, authentic, and very generous. Pro tip from Ben & Lolo: Whatever you do, do not eat before you go! Make sure you arrive with an empty stomach because you’re going to feast. Thank you so much, Joyce, for such a magical day. We recommend this 200%! Ben & Lolo

We had a wonderful evening learning to cook authentic Thai dishes. Joyce was great! For each course she presented the ingredients for us to taste and then prepare and we went on to cook the dish and eat it. She was kind, considerate and very patient, especially with my husband, who at 77 has never cooked anything from scratch before! Thank you to Joyce, your husband and beautiful family for this great experience. I thoroughly recommend that you give this a try - you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience - Delicious food - Joyce was such a wonderful teacher. Highly recommend you fit this into your Bangkok trip. Great for kids and adults alike

Excellent - the best dinner we had in Thailand and we cooked it ourselves! Joyce and her husband made the experience amazing. We made four delicious dishes . Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely cooking class with Joyce. The session could not have been planned better . She was so encouraging, attentive and fun throughout the entire class. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Bangkok

We had a great time with Joyce in her kitchen. We made 3 courses and a dessert all succulent. Joyce is very nice and attentive, we appreciated her advice and explanations. We refer on our next trip to Bangkok! 🍚🥭

Everything was wonderful! Very well organized cooking class. 3 hours just went so quickly. Special thanks to our chef😍

We had a great time and opportunity to experience a bit of Thai cousin. From the greating by the owner, through getting knowing the ingredients and all the way to preparing 4 delicious dishes. Come hungry, you won't regret.

Great cooking class, incredibly good, Joyce is great! It was a perfect moment to share with family as friends or couple!

Joyce was an amazing host, super energetic! Absolutely loved the food we cooked up. Highly recommend 😊

Very good cooking lesson and kids friendly. My 7 years old daughter loved it. Strongly recommend it Quick tip: don’t have breakfast ! You will Have plenty of food

This has been the highlight of my trip so far! Joyce is absolutely amazing and such a wonderful teacher. If you have the opportunity to take this class you must do it. She is amazing about accommodating vegan/vegetarian and allergens. I learned so much. Bonus: the artist house and canal market nearby are amazing for a day trip :)

The owner is so nice and the dishes are really tasteful!

Excellent A must for Thai food enthusiasts

Excellent cooking class. If you’re looking for something super authentic and very relaxed this is it.

Excellent cooking class 100% Thai! Joyce is a master in the art of cooking and is a love of person! 100% recommended!!!

The lady was super sweet, the food very delicious and a great mix of different typical dishes: Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Green Curry and Mango Sticky Rice. If you want, the lady will take photos of you while you're there and send them to you so you can capture the memory. Nice atmosphere, delicious food and a great experience. Highly recommended!

What I appreciated most is that it didn’t feel staged. You’re not just standing there watching someone cook. You actually chop, pound, stir, taste, adjust. And they explain things in a way that makes sense. Not in a textbook way, but in a “okay, this is why your curry tastes flat” kind of way. Seeing the herbs and ingredients up close makes a difference. Suddenly, Thai food isn’t just “spicy.” You start noticing the layers. Sweet, sour, salty, heat, and that citrusy lift from the lime leaves. The instructors were warm without being overly scripted. You can ask questions. You can mess up a little. Nobody rushes you. By the end, you’re sitting down eating food you actually cooked yourself, and it tastes legit. Not “for a class” good. Just good. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you because when you go home and cook that green curry again, you’ll remember the technique, not just the recipe. Bangkok has a lot to offer. This was one of the few activities that felt worth the time.

Love it!!!! Excellent teaching and very accommodating!! Learn a lot about thai food! I love the padthai & mango sticky riceeee!!! SO GOOD!! I LOVE TEACHER JOYCE SO MUCH. HER ENERGY & COOKING SKILL IS TOP TIER! NICE PLACE TOO TO LEARN THAI FOODS 🇹🇭💙💙😀 will definitely go back!!

Joyce is a wonderful and attentive host and an amazing cook. She taught our whole family including our 13 year old daughter everything about 4 thai signature dishes. We had an amazing afternoon with her and learned so much! Everything was delicious! All ingredients fresh from the market and chosen with care and love. We wholeheartedly recommend cooking with Joyce ❤️

A very dear and friendly hostess. Great introduction to the typical ingredients and nice course. We felt very comfortable. Nice premises. She also responded to individual wishes.

Attended this cooking class with Joy. She was a sweetheart and the experience was a ton of fun. Food was amazing. She catered to allergies (vegan and vegetarian). Everything was also very clean and well prepared. Would recommend to anyone !
