This was one of the best cooking classes I have ever attended. My family and I like to go to cooking classes when we travel. This was by far the most food I've ever cooked and got to cook. The chef was knowledgeable, kind and funny. The sous chef was great as well. She picked us up at the BTS and walked us around the market. This was definitely a top notch experience. I highly recommend.

We enjoyed the cooking class very much. The classroom was well equipped and set up nicely, the class was small, the instructors very helpful and attentive. My husband, who does not cook at home at all, was able to follow along and had a great time! Our chef instructor, Lekki, was the absolute best! She was very calm, informative, and helpful, just very laid back and wanted to make sure we enjoyed the foods we cooked. We also went to the market and got an education on the spices and ingredients we were using. The class was super helpful in understanding Thai food and knowing what each dish is. We made 5 dishes to eat, which we had a choice of. Each person made his or her own. It was fun, no stess, instructors right there to help, and we produced a really delicious meal! I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊
We’re so happy you both enjoyed the class — especially your husband! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to Chef Lekky.
It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you again.

The staff and the chef were excellent. They catered to my family of four, which includes an 8-year-old and an 11-year-old. The youngest still required parental guidance as expected to make sure he didn't cut himself or hurt himself cooking. Chef would come by and monitor and help him throughout the process once we got to the wok. Recipes were explained thoroughly and the cooking process of fantastic. All the food came out mouth-wateringly delicious.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Vishal. Glad you and your family enjoyed the class.
We always try to make our Thai cooking classes in Bangkok fun and safe for all ages, so it’s great to hear your kids were well looked after while learning to cook with the wok.
Happy you enjoyed the recipes and the food. Hope to see you back again for another class.

This was an amazing and well informed class. It was fun and you learned a lot. Good for any skill level. Don’t hesitate. This cooking class is a must do while here in Thailand.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks Shonell. Glad you had such a memorable experience.
We aim to keep our Thai cooking classes in Bangkok fun, informative, and easy for all skill levels, so it’s great to hear that came through.
Appreciate the recommendation. Hope to cook with you again next time you’re in Thailand.

We were 5 minutes late to the pickup and they did not wait. No effort in communication was ever made with us. We tried and tried to reach them and even tried to walk to the market but were unsuccessful. Horrible experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Victor, this isn’t an accurate reflection of what happened.
Our pickup operates on a fixed schedule and we clearly ask guests to be ready in advance, as the instructor cannot wait without delaying the entire group. That said, we did attempt to contact you at the time and provided instructions on how to reach the market if you missed the pickup.
We understand it’s frustrating to miss the start, but this wasn’t a case of no communication or lack of effort on our side. If you’d like, reach out to us directly and we can see what’s possible.
Angela_D, Feb 2026
It was super nice the chef was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English we all got to Chose 4 different dishes from a list and it was amazing how well everything was tasting cool experience to do we really enjoyed it
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks Angela. Glad you enjoyed it.
Our chefs put a lot of focus on clear English instruction and making sure everyone gets hands-on with their own dishes, so it’s great to hear that stood out.
Happy you loved the food and the experience. Hope to see you back for another Thai cooking class in Bangkok.

Kind and knowledgeable instructors set everyone up for success, and everyone ends the day with so much great food, plus access to recipes. Friendly for those with allergies and dietary restrictions. Accommodations were nbd.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks Margaret. Glad you enjoyed the class.
Our instructors work hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable and leaves with great results, so it’s good to hear that came through.
Happy we could accommodate your dietary needs as well. Hope to see you again for another Thai cooking class in Bangkok.

Great experience cooked a ton of dishes. Lots of options on what to make. If you have an allergy they handled very well, you can control the spice level on every dish. The food was awesome and the staff was great!!
Josh_M, Jan 2026
awesome ladies. very informative. so much food to eat once you are done cooking you get to eat everything you make
Pamela_M, Nov 2025
Wonderful experience.
We went to the market first to learn about all the ingredients and then returned to the kitchen.
The chef and team were incredibly efficient and competent and the food we cooked was delicious.
The recipes were easy to follow and we did everything from scratch.
Definitely would recommend this to anyone who likes good food.
Bonnie_S, Oct 2025
Wonderful cooking experience!! Very delicious food & super fun! Would definitely recommend, if you have a free afternoon in Bangkok!
Byron_G, Aug 2025
Really enjoyed the cooking activity. My wife scared of new food but with seeing the ingredients and the preparation helped her experience the local food and understand the shopping and cooking of different dishes. She still doesn’t want to cook but it was worth it to me to see her actually enjoy the food we cooked. The chief also let us know what made to decide sh spicy hot so we could make to our own level of comfort. Go hungry for sure or plan on taking food out with you.
Olivia_G, Aug 2025
This was a great cooking experience that included a walk to a local market to learn about the ingredients used in Thai cooking. What I loved best about this cooking class was that we really got to make our own individual dishes from scratch. Other than making the curry(which a portion of the work was shared with another student making the same dish), we literally made everything ourselves. I appreciate that especially from a sanitary standpoint. I’ve taken cooking classes in other countries where things were shared in ways that compromised food safety and also the individuality and effort of each chef individually . I was happy to eat exactly what I made and how I made it. The only thing I would change about this class would be to have the code for recipes shared digitally instead of on a piece of paper/certificate. I 100% recommend this cooking class if you’re interested in really learning to cook Thai food. The red curry we made is the best I’ve ever had in my life!

Came in the morning, only person who booked, so it was private. The cleanliness and ingredient quality was great and it was very organized. Wish I learned more about the chemistry of the food and techniques and was given a physical recipe to follow instead of being told what to do. I think it was a little expensive for what it was but positive experience overall.
Judy_M, Jun 2025
The food was delicious and the market tour interesting. Clear instructions and everything was portioned out for the dishes chosen. So easy to achieve a great meal.
Charlene_C, Jun 2025
everyone was so friendly and guided us alone every step. everything was kept clean, and the food cooked was very delicious. would definitely recommend this cooking class when in thailand!
Lorelie_M, Mar 2025
It was a great experience. They were so organized and the food was delicious. I would do it again if the opportunity arose.
Phil_H, Mar 2025
The place is filthy. I mean FILTHY. We did not eat any thing. Instructors nice enough but who cares about that when you are nervous about touching anything. If this is normal for Bangkok then I am not normal.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take cleanliness and hygiene very seriously and adhere strictly to Thai health and safety regulations. Our school welcomes thousands of students each year, and we have always maintained high hygiene standards to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will conduct a thorough review to identify any areas for improvement.
Dalia_S, Mar 2025
Very well organized. Answered all the questions I asked and got some nice recipes. Maybe if you don't ask a lot you won't get all the details. Food was yummy and took some to go at the end. Exactly what I hoped for! Thank you Chef R, she was very helpful!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for coming and hope to see you again!
Louisa_B, Feb 2025
This is a true hands-on cooking class. You are not just observing someone else preparing dishes. You will make more food than you could possibly eat. Very clear instructions, lots of choices, and quality ingredients. Class was timed perfectly and well instructed. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your support!
Daniel_D, Feb 2025
Excellent cooking school. (My second time). Come hungry. You will cook four dishes and then have desert. Tour of local market included
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you so much!
Grace_K, Feb 2025
It was my third time, and it was a fantastic experience! This time, I brought my 8-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loved it. The chefs are incredibly talented and make the whole process enjoyable, guiding us with patience and enthusiasm. The choice of dishes to make is always exciting, and I can't wait to bring my son along for the next class.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Glad you enjoyed and thank you very much!
KalaidaHolmes, Feb 2025
The Chef and staff were great. Just the right amount of assistance from them to allow you to really have a Chef experience. You also prepare a good amount of food, so do come hungry. There are lots of tea and coffee shops near by for after.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Glad you enjoyed and hope to see you again!
David_F, Jan 2025
It was fun to cook and eat amazing food. Come hungry because there's a lot to eat. Very fun cooking experience.
John_O, Jan 2025
Well organized with good instruction and guidance.
They taught even me to cook something that tasted good!
Kamalika_R, Dec 2024
Fun class with good instructions on how to prepare Thai dishes. We picked 5 dishes from a menu and cooked them from scratch. Our chefs were super helpful and guided us step by step. We learned about Thai ingredients during the class and in the market visit before the class. The location is super convenient and very close to BTS On Nut.
Grace_K, Dec 2024
I had a fantastic experience at the cooking class, my second visit! Being able to choose our preferred dishes makes each session unique and exciting. The chef is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The food we prepared was delicious and a delight to present. I will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend it!
Lucia_N, Dec 2024
Great experience of Thai cooking, with 2 chefs that take you to the market nearby and explain everything very well for you. You can choose 5 dishes of your choice to cook and taste them afterwards (you can get a takeaway bag, so no need to eat it all in there).
Maria_W, Nov 2024
So much fun! Chef Liki and the team were fantastic. Easy meeting point and short walk to market and cooking school. Super well organised. Delicious food. Thanks for an awesome experience.
Paul_W, Nov 2024
It was such good fun along with excellent teaching. Everything was great from the pickup directions to the local market to view ingredients and then the amazing teaching all followed by such fantastic food - can not wait to try the dishes at home - went with wife and not a teen son
