Fantastic cooking class

ANDREWLAIHUAT_P, Jan 2025

June is a experienced and friendly teacher. We had so much fun buying ingredients at the market. She made it seem easy to cook the various dishes which turned out to be so delicious!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Andre, Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with June and had fun exploring the market. Cooking should be enjoyable and approachable, and we’re glad June made it feel easy while guiding you through delicious Thai dishes. We hope you’ll try recreating the recipes at home and that you’ll join us again for more culinary adventures in the future! Best regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

5 Star experience

Claudia_G, Oct 2024

5 Star experience for everyone. From the start they are waiting for you outside to make sure you are welcomed and guided inside. There were solo participants, couples, friends and even a family with 2 little kids. They take care of you at every moment, guiding you in the market, carefully showing the preparation of each dish before you try and of course during your turn. They have a team that coordinates beautifully to support the main cook, preparing the ingredients, clearing used elements, cleaning... This is a complete experience, including an element of competition which makes it fun and helps with the interaction between groups. We learned a lot (new ingredients, how to select, how to prepare, how to cook) and enjoyed the exquisite meal afterwards. Can't recommend this enough.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Claudia, Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with Sompong Thai Cooking School! It sounds like the team truly goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and included, regardless of group size or cooking background. From the seamless organization and support during cooking to the interactive elements and learning new skills, it sounds like an experience packed with fun and flavor! So glad you enjoyed the hands-on learning and delicious meal—thanks for the fantastic recommendation! Regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

Exquisitely choreographed multi dimensional experience

erica_o, Jul 2022

this is a very professional cooking school which caters to everybody from supermarket packet cooks to near professionals. they have been open since 2008 and I suspect that they have been tweaking and perfecting the experience ever since. it is extremely well choreographed with detailed demonstrations followed by practice. there is a behind the scenes team which sets up everything beautifully for all participants while cooks are watching the entertaining demonstrations. The teacher also gives everybody a taste of her expert dish. there is a competitive element in the middle which is a lot of fun. everything is set up as a visual spectacle of traditional Thai decor. it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience and the food was fabulous. The teacher showed us how to adapt supermarket packet mixes as well as showing us to garnish dishes to make them look professional. for the is Jude cook she shows the fine points of what to look for at each stage of the cooking process. she also teaches chopping techniques and you get a lesson at the market of the different food families and the differences between the vegetable components.
