This is a must food experience. My family thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and it was incredibly informative. We learned to make an entire meal and the flavors were stunning. I highly recommend this class to all, including families.

Michelle_T, Dec 2025

Get ready to explore local markets and cook simple Thai dishes under the guidance of owner Pimmy. Come with an open mind to learn more about local spices and favours. The activity is good for families to bond over cooking and food! We had been to Thailand numerous times and was looking for a different experience. We opted for the 9am slot or otherwise we would have woke up late and prob having breakfast and end up in a local mall. The experience ended by about 12+ leaving us with still alot of time for the rest of the day. We prepared the ingredients and cooked mango sticky rice, curry chicken, Tamarind prawns and tom yum goong. It was simple to follow and we were also provided recipes so we may try when we return to our home countries. We will definitely be back to learn other dishes.

Excellent Experience

WES_B, Dec 2025

Great time in a small group setting. Learning about the ingredients at the market was informative. The preparation and cooking was only surpassed by how good the meal was.

Highly recommended

A must do cooking class! ...

Jet_S, Sep 2025

A must do cooking class! What sets this one apart is that it is not "cookie-cutter". The visit to the local ,market is well worth the time and gives you a much better appreciation for the ingredients.

Perfectly Pink!

Leonard_D, Jun 2025

Fun, informative and a great way to experience first hand Thai cuisine, this class is a must for anyone visiting Bangkok.

Unforgettable experience...

Eve_H, Jun 2025

Unforgettable experience with Pimmy. Super kind, informative, funny and patient. I learned so much. I will cherish this.

Unique and fun experience

JChristopher_C, Feb 2025

Very unique experience. Both my wife and I really enjoyed this experience and we are happy we got the chance to do it.

Pimmy and the sous chef...

Sam_S, Feb 2025

Pimmy and the sous chef were fantastic! The class was fun and the food was even better. Prepare some extra time to arrive at the site as Bangkok traffic can be quite heavy and the class location is not in the city center.

This cooking class was...

Chiara_F, Jan 2025

This cooking class was well explained and executed, the recipes were easy to follow and recreate. Pimmy was an excellent teacher eager to answer any question and teach us all about local ingredients and techniques.

Fun activity

Kiara_P, Jan 2025

It is a nice way to spend a few hours. The hostess in kind and explains everything. At times it is hard to understand her. The tour of the market is the best thing. The menu we cooked was okay. I did another cooking class in the past and found that one (in Krabi) to be more engaging.

The 5 senses experience

ISABELLE_S, Jan 2025

This was very interesting and we have learnt a lot about local food and ingredients from the market. The cooking result was amazing!

10/10 would recommend

Ryan_E, Dec 2024

It’s great! The whole process of going to the market to see where to buy the goods and then making the food is super fun and played out. I will say if you are hungry before, don’t hesitate to eat a snack because you don’t get to eat anything until the end of the class. Overall though, the food was delicious and I would definitely recommend it.

This is the authentic Thai cooking class you're looking for in Bangkok.

Denise_B, Dec 2024

The instructor and her assistant were fantastic! We especially enjoyed the tour to the market and learning about the fresh ingredients we were going to use in class. The instructor was so knowledgable, friendly and was patient, guiding us along each step. She even accommodated our dietary needs for a vegetarian meal. We got great hands on experience and had some of the best authentic Thai food of our lives! We would 200% do it again and advise anybody thinking about booking with Pink Chili to go ahead and do it. You'll be happy you did!

Excellent teacher !

Angela_A, Nov 2024

Average

Michael_C, Sep 2024

The cooking instructor was kinda impatient with us. Didnt seem like she wanted to be there. When we would mess up rather than explaining to us, she just kind of took over.

Tickled Pink in Bangkok

Rafael_B, Sep 2024

Actually cooking our own delicious meals,seeing it come from authentic ingredients to delectable dishes

Excellent

Best authentic Thai cooking experience!

Riley_A, Aug 2024

We had such a great time at this cooking class. The instructor was great and took us to the market before showing all the ingredients. The class was very well organized and our end product was so delicious! We were there 4 hours! Highly recommend!

A cultural experience for sure!

Patricia_W, Jun 2024

This was a totally fun experience! Visiting the market was a trip then learning all the little tricks to make those delicious dishes made it a wonderful morning. I totally recommend taking this class!

Good trip

Jasmine_G, Jun 2024

Excellent - very small group 3 of us - but will definitely take what I learnt home and try and replicate

Awesome

Nicolas_R, May 2024

Awesome time with Pimmy. Super nice teacher. Learned so many things about spices Thai food. The dishes we cooked tasted really good. Specially the Green curry. Cooking class well organised, in a really nice air conditioned class.

Fun time cooking!

Justin_S, May 2024

Awesome experience! It was nice going to the market to see the ingredients and get a little explanation about each item. The cooking was fun and the instructor was attentive to each student. Overall was a super fun activity

Should learn to cook Thai dishes before eating

Shinji_N, May 2024

Great experience to learn local cuisines together. Also, learn how to choose fresh ingredients in the local market. While preparing and cooking, you can smell familiar Green curry and Pad Thai. Despite being rushed to cook, must try.

Pink Chili Didn’t Disappoint

Anne_C, Mar 2024

Fun experience. The four star is because it was difficult at times to understand our leader and bowls that are cracked really should be replaced instead of being used.

Thaï food cooking can be a lot of fun!

Diane_B, Mar 2024

Really nice afternoon cooking and learning a lot about Thai cuisine. We had a lot of fun, being a small group of 5 and having at least 3 or 4 persons helping us out. The recipes were fantastic and I can’t wait to go back home to try them out by myself. The only thing I would change is the start time of the afternoon class from 2 pm to 3 pm. Since we ate what we had cooked, we ended up eating a big meal at around 4:30-5:00 pm, which is a bit too early. Most of us could not finish our meals, which probably ended up in the garbage.

Pink chili

Mary_C, Feb 2024

The chef and her staff were very welcoming, even though we were late for the class. The ingredients were all fresh, and we got to taste them before using them in our cooking.. We also received printed instructions and recipes.

Great cooking class with a bad outcome

Sarah_S, Feb 2024

The cooking class was well organized and we had a lot of fun. Recipes and guidance was clear, however we all got food poisoning (reason for an average rating) afterwards which was not a nice holiday start, even though the food was delicious. The only reason for this could have been the chicken, since everything else was fresh and didn't smell bad.
