Thai Cooking Class Bangkok: Choose 5 Dishes + Market Tour
About this experience
Unlike most Bangkok cooking classes, you’ll choose your own 5 dishes from 20+ options and cook every dish yourself—no fixed menu and no demonstrations. Start with a visit to a local fresh market to learn about authentic Thai ingredients, herbs, and spices. Then cook step-by-step with an expert chef, including pounding your own curry paste from scratch, in a professional, fully air-conditioned kitchen. Located just 2 minutes from BTS On Nut, this class is easy to reach from central Bangkok. Perfect for travelers looking for a flexible, hands-on, and authentic Thai cooking experience.
What to expect
Join a hands-on Thai cooking class in Bangkok, located just 2 minutes from BTS On Nut Station in a fully air-conditioned kitchen. Begin with a short introduction to Thai ingredients, herbs, and sauces, and learn how to balance sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. Next, choose 5 dishes from 20+ options and cook each one yourself from scratch: • Pound fresh curry paste using a mortar and pestle • Cook your chosen curry (Green, Panang, Massaman, Red, or Khao Soi) • Prepare a soup or salad (Tom Yum, Tom Kha, Som Tam, or Laab Gai) • Cook a noodle or rice dish (Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Drunken Noodles, or Pineapple Fried Rice) • Make a traditional stir-fry (Chicken with Cashews, Black Pepper Beef, Thai Basil Chicken, or Morning Glory) • Finish with a Thai dessert (Mango Sticky Rice or Fried Bananas) All cooking and dining takes place in air conditioning for comfort. Enjoy every dish you create, receive full recipes, and leave with the skills to cook authentic Thai food at home.
