What we love about Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy: 1. The flexibility - you choose the dishes 2. The accessibility - the academy is not more than 200 meters away from the BTS; meeting place is just outside the BTS 3. The instructor - Air, our instructor is kind and was very hands-on 4. The classroom setting - Airconditioned All in all, we got our money's worth!

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
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
