"This is the cooking class you should get when you're in Bangkok!"
review for "You Choose the Dishes" Cooking Class & Market Tour on Sukhumvit

From start to finish this was a very organised and well run operation. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the food was fantastic! All of the staff were lovely. We were even able to take the copious amounts of food we had made away with us, as there was NO way we were able to eat it all!!!!

I had an amazing experience in Thailand. My 5-day trip was indeed worthwhile. This was a trip and experience to remember. I was able to visit the locals, got to talk to them, and learn from them during the market tour. I also had the freedom to choose my own course and provided me with vegetarian option. Cooking with strangers did not feel weird, instead it felt warm as if you are cooking with your family. Everyone was so kind. And i was able to create a sumptuous dish on my own. I was one with nature and Thai culture. As the day went by, i became to understand how important it is to preserve culture and i was able to bring that learning and experience home with me.

It was a really good experience with my friend.

Happy tummy and happy heart. Our short trip was fun filled thanks to this cooking class. We visited Bang Chak market to get some fresh ingredients. It was clean and the people were smiling and entertaining. We got to choose 5 dishes to learn upon booking and the instructor was so passionate about making us understand Thai culture and shared with us some cool hacks and secrets to Thai cuisine. Since he was energetic, we never had a dull moment during the class. Overall, it was insightful and fun-filled!

Good experience

Short market visit, Lot of choice in the menu, that is great. The teaching is more how to prepare the vegetables and then you pour bowl 1,2,3,4 in the pan, and thats it. I am maybe a little severe, food was really excellent, it is so good to eat fresh food intead of these horrible buffet or pre-cooked meal as in many restaurant.

My wife and I attended this class on the last day of our visit to Bangkok. We regret not attending the class sooner. We learned how to cook several Thai dishes and learned about various types of ingredients used in Thai cuisine during the market tour. We had fun taking this class and recommend it to anyone interested in cooking.

My son and I absolutely loved our experience with the Bangkok Thai cooking Academy! All staff were very professional, kind and knowledgeable. They catered to our needs nicely and were flexible which we really appreciated! Now that I have more hands on experience with these recipes, I feel ready to duplicate them at home. I am recommending this class to all my friends who visit Bangkok!

This was a professional and well-organized school. Clean, well prepped, and carefully managed and monitored during cooking process. We were able to choose amount 4-5 dishes for 4 courses. (There was a 5th course, a dessert course, that we witnessed but didn’t make.) I liked this element of choice. For dishes with curries, we were told what was in the curry but didn’t actually make it. However, they did give a link to an online site with all recipes which I am excited to explore. The market visit was a vegetable stand in the alley market nearby. We were shown many interesting vegetables and described the flavor and use. The guide and instructor was friendly, full of info, passionate and fun.

We enjoyed the short stroll to the market where we got lots of vegetables explained. Cooking was fun, although i'm not sure who will do all the preparation back at home ;-) the guys had done a good job for us! Everything Is well organized, Anniz tried her best in keeping the lesson fun and educative at the same time.

We enjoyed the class. The chef was really friendly. Suggest placing the ingredient list on the table for better understanding. If time permits maybe also give a few alternative ingredients for foreigners who are unable to get the intended correct items.

Really nice class and teachers

Super fun.. Know the basic of how to cook Thai food...taste good.. 😍😍

The class was really good, we had a lot of fun. The teacher was awesome, good English skills and managed to coordinate everything, although everyone had a different menu. We enjoyed it and recommend it.

Very nice bunch of instructors assisted the class activities, friendly environment, informative , very well organised

We loved our cooking class, everything is clean, everbody is nice and the recipes are easy and the food tastes very good! We can really recommended this cooking class!!

Brilliant class excellent teachers fun funny and restaurant quality results! Highly recommended

It was amazing. The trainer really helps you a lot and everyone is very friendly. Will definitely do it again! ❤️❤️❤️

The fact that you go first to a nearby market and learn about the ingredients before you head to the cooking academy and prepare them creating your chosen meal makes the experience very authentic. Dao was such a good and entertaining teacher. Thanks to her and her assistants, it was absolutely nice to visit.

I enjoyed every aspect of the class. Easy presentation and informative. Very pleasant surroundings. Market section was great. Would love to prepare the curry pastes etc myself. Perhaps another time. Online recipes and instructions are great reminders of the processes shown and used in the class.

Had a fun morning and learned a lot about Thai ingrediënts and cooking. The Chef was funny and Clear in her indtructions

We enjoyed so much Teacher was professional Dishes were big portions

Great market tour and class. Fun and knowledgeable staff. Have already recommended it!

The class was fun and we made some tasty food. We attended the class with an 8 and 10 year old and they also enjoyed the class and the food. The instructors were informative and entertaining and I would recommend attending the class.

My wife and I love to eat and cook! If you enjoy that too this is the class for you. The class was very fluid and informative. The communication was great and the course was full of satire. GREAT STAFF!!!

I got chance to visit local markets before cooking the really authentic Thai food.

Loved the cooking class ! Teachers were friendly and fun ! It was well organized and hands on. Def would come back to take some more classes.

I recommend this cooking class to my friend.

great to have such opportunity to cook thai food

Cours de cuisine avec 3 ami.e.s à Bangkok, nous étions 10 participant.e.s en tout. La visite du marché était un peu courte et succincte mais le cours de cuisine a été une réussite ! C'est super de pouvoir choisir quels plats on souhaite cuisiner et de les déguster à la fin ! Même si la cheffe est parfois peu patiente et a tendance à faire à notre place dès qu'elle trouve qu'on est trop lents...

Spoke good English, was informative and easy to follow. Good fun and good food

We really enjoyed the cooking class. We learned a lot on the market and it is nice, that you can choose different dishes. Even for vegetarians it is delicious and gluten free cooking is possible as well. The sauces and herbs were all prepared. So we didn’t do the measuring ourselves.

Teacher was nice and the atmosphere was good! We enjoy the class very much!

There was plenty of friendly and knowledgeable bilingual staff (Thai, English, Spanish). They all helped us work through each recipe smoothly and efficiently. Each recipe was portioned our prior to arrival and Scene was fun and knowledgeable, teaching us about each type of ingredient. Our class was 8 people in total and that was a perfect number so no one got left behind. My group of 5 family members with different cooking experience would totally do this again!

Convenient location, very nice staff and highly recommend for friends!

We had a great learning basic Thai cooking. The food was awesome.

Originally dragged to the cooking class, but left thoroughly satisfied. We were given great instruction, the environment was fun, and the food was so so good! Highly recommend to all.

What a great experience myself and my husband had. The market tour was very interesting and we got to see things we had never seen before. The cooking class was brilliant and the guide made it very easy to understand. We made some gorgeous dishes and met some lovely people. Definitely recommended.

Enjoyed my day!

The course was really well organised. The two chefs really knew what they were doing and had the seven of us each preparing, and cooking, 5 different courses, all at the same time. I certainly will return to take another cooking class.

Class was so much fun and well ran. Food was very tasty, environment was clean, and instructor did a great job. Definitely would recommend this location as a fun experience for anyone looking to spend a few hours learning to cook some Thai dishes.

Good general knowledge shared in the market showing us the herbs and explaining the used and benefits. We had very good guidance in preparing the food and cooking. Sharing some tips from the other participants too, we had 3 vegetarians and how the Chef adjusted ingredients was very useful. Very good value for money. Thx Guys

It was super fun. The techers and helpers are very nice and helpful. The market tour is fruitful. The dishes we made were very yummy.

The option to select your own dishes is a big plus when compared to other cooking class. We had a lot of fun learning about different Thai ingredients and instructor was humorous which makes the class more engaging. Most importantly the food tasted home cook and we could adjust the spicy level to our taste. This means we could thoroughly enjoy the labor of our morning. I recommended it to my friends instantaneously and would return in the future.

Bank was a wonderful chief. Full of information, engaging and funny. He, and the other staff were friendly and patient with our many questions. I would recommend this class!

The chef was great had good humour and knew what he was doing. The food that we cooked tasted great. The market tour was interesting as well

It was very difficult to find and contact the class. The cooking class was nice to do. It all goes fast so I hope the recipe on the internet will give a good explaining

Great class, excellent format, great instructors. Good selection of meals as well.

We loved it!!! Very informative, and so much fun. And the food was yummy too

The idea of each participant choosing the dishes he /she wants to learn is brilliant. I would not recommend the class for raw beginners. From the instructions given I got the feeling the instructor assumed the participants all had previous cooking experience. The group was small,only 4, and all of us got along well. All in an enjoyable experience

Great class so much fun

The instructor was hilarious, we had so much fun learing how to cook great Thai food. Would recommend to anyone.

From the moment we arrived we started to learn about the Thai cooking culture. We enjoyed looking at the markets. The cooking area felt clean and everything was well prepared. We had lots of fun cooking our chosen meals. Thank you!

The tour of the market was interesting and informative. The cooking experience was fun. The food was delicious 😋

Hope to have much choices of the dishes, and recipes to be given out before class starts so we can drop down some notes when needed , I went to the recipe link but have to try to recall some steps and sequence of preparing and cooking, so will prefer we can drop down notes during the classes.

nice choices, nice atmosphere, do it yourself balanced with preportioned help.

Lots of variety and informative chef. Well organised and very enjoyable.

It was so organized and informative. I love cooking and this taught me so much. The teachers were great and so much fun. I am planning on more classes and bring my friends. Great job.

We enjoyed the class so much! Can meet friends from different countries, cooked and ate together. Suggest if the menu can have more variety.

Well organized, a lot of informations about the ingredients on the market and at school.A lot of fun, delicious food. Recipes of the dishes you have chosen to cook.

The class was very well organised. You can choose 5 different dishes at your liking. The food was great quality and the class was not too big in size. All staff was super friendly. I was really impressed and on top of all, it was one of the cheaper classes I could find. A great experience...thank you.

Loved it all the dishes were delicious!! I highly recommend this class.

Really great class with a nice teacher. I was with 4 kids (from 14 to 17). We cooked 4 different meals each on 2 hours Everything was fine

Best cooking class I've ever attended! The tour to the market gave much needed background information to the food we made. The classroom was spacious, clean and air-conditioned. The room set-up was perfect for older people as we were able to sit most of the time to prepare our food (nice touch for my 80 year old mom with knee problem). The menu was great (since we can choose our own dishes). The chef is highly capable, confident and humorous. Hours filled with fun and excitement flew by and at the end, we left the class with wonderful memories and the ability to make authentic Thai food. Can't wait to try the recipes when I get home.

Is a very rare experience. That day we have a total of 11 students together on the cooking class, the teacher is very clear to different students to learn the materials and projects, very clearly explain and teach one by one, the whole process is very smooth and no difficulty, I and children learn together feel Happy to be promoted.

Really good instruction and very happy with the results, but it ended too quickly.

I really appreciated the opportunity to select my own menu!

I highly enjoyed the class. It's amazing to select your own menus!

Especially I really liked that I can pick the dishes what I will learn. It was very fun to make Thai food and eat! I will take this class again for different menu if i would visit Bangkok in the future

wonderful experience to have the cooking class with ben! is really great fun！ will come back soon!

It was thankful not cancled even I was the only one for the class.

Very freindly chef, very clear explanations

What wonderful way to spend my last day in Bangkok. I booked this tour last minute and they were able to get me in the next day. The market tour was very insightful and helpful to all types of cooking. The class was unbelievably informative and exciting and our instructor, Air, was funny and so much fun! I love that you can choose your own dishes so you dont have to only make the food set for that day. They are so good at multitasking that all members of the group make their food perfect and on time, all finishing at the same time and learning how to make various dishes. I would recommend this company to anyone coming to Bangkok who is interested in taking a cooking class, hardly any previous cooking skills required!

really nice ans must go again

Spent a wonderful time learning and cooking. Chef Air was great, gave good tips to cooking. It was enjoyable and will definitely look forward to another session if I go to Bangkok again.

Taste good

Learnt some interesting techniques, teacher (Air) and staff were great. Place very professional and clean. Would recommend to my friends

Had a so much fun half-day Thai cooking class learned how to cook 5 menu Especially the market tour was amazing

Good Organisation, friendly teacher, funny afternoon and yummy dishes

Went to this awesome cooking class with my daughter so this should be a "Must Do" on your next trip to BANGKOK-THAILAND. Liked that we could select from list the 5 items we would be cooking & eating. Small group of people, 1 Germany, 2 England, 2 Americans. Went to market to learn about fresh ingredients & spices which was really interesting. Wonderful people very helpful with improving all parts of cooking skills.

We chose this class because you can select the dishes of your choice that you will be cooking. The staff is super nice and helpful, and our group and class was fun and dynamic. I totally recommend this experience!

Every staff there are very nice!

Three of us joined a class given by Air at the Thai cooking Academy. We were able to select what we wanted to cook ! The class was extremely organized and informative and we enjoyed every second. The dishes were made were amazing - can't believe we made them ourselves! BEST cooking class in Bangkok!
