Oh my god what an amazing experience!! We booked the morning Friday slot (important to mention as each day different dishes are offered!) and we had the absolute BEST time. We were worried because we got stuck in traffic (obviously) and so arrived a few minutes late, but luckily we were shown the way to the market to join the rest of our group. We then went round the market, learning about the different ingredients and spices we would use in the dishes we would make, before having some free time to wander the market whilst our teacher, Ant (absolute legend we love her SO much, so funny and kind) got everything we needed to cook! Once back at the cooking school, we started to learn each dish in turn, first being taught by Ant and her brother San (another legend) and then following those instructions on our own with some guidance. You eat everything you make, and believe us you'll be amazed you made it. So delicious, make sure to come hungry. This experience is highly recommended!
The Sompong Thai Cooking Class 🥥 itinerary is fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bangkok. From visiting the market, identifying and pounding herbs, to stir-frying pad Thai and making curry step-by-step, it's a great way to learn about Thai spices and culinary culture. You get the complete farm-to-table experience of making Thai food. We made four dishes in total: pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, chicken curry, and mango sticky rice. We were already full after the first dish! It's interactive yet not too difficult. Our instructor, Nancy, was wonderful at keeping the energy high. It was super fun and great for taking photos. Highly recommended! Delicious, fun, and photogenic~
I came to Bangkok and took this Thai cooking class – it was such a blast! The instructor was full of energy, funny, and really attentive in teaching, and I learned so many handy tips. It was so much fun!!!!I'll definitely come back again and again!
This is my second visit already! I came back after 4 years!! The instructor and the staff who help out are so kind and thoughtful. It was a class where I really felt the warmth of the Thai people. The morning class also included a market visit, which was a truly fun experience. I sincerely and highly recommend it.
This was an excellent cooking class! The instructor was very humorous, and the class atmosphere was lively and fun. The curriculum was rich and engaging, starting with a market visit to buy ingredients. Back in the classroom, we learned to make Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, mango sticky rice, and Thai curry with the instructor. We then enjoyed our meal there for lunch. It was wonderful to both eat and have fun! Plus, it's very child-friendly; they provide booster seats, as well as pens and paper for drawing, making it a great class for families.
very professional “ant” energetic instructor! we had an amazing cooking time there and learnt some cooking skills and thai ingredients which we will definitely bring back home! highly recommend to anyone visiting bangkok and looking for an extraordinary experience other than just shopping:)
I should say it may the best cook school in Bangkok, the small alley cannot cover it’s shine. Teacher June welcomed us at the front Door that day, showed us the day processing warmly. With the Vivid and funny introducing of all the seasoning and foodstuffs we’d very well known of local food. she also make easy and interesting learning vibe which let us first Thai food cooking easily. Honestly, two hours is not enough. I ’ve already expecting rejoin the next time.
The instructor was very entertaining and humorous, and the pace of the class was managed exceptionally well. Everyone received their own recipe book to follow along with while listening to the instructor's explanations, making it easy for a first-time cook in the family to get right into it! The dishes turned out delicious 😋. During the class, two or three assistants took turns checking in and taking care of us. This was my second cooking class, and I recommend this place even more! Friends who don't eat meat or seafood can also substitute them with tofu and shiitake mushrooms!
Facilities: Spacious, very clean, and beautiful. Instructor: Teacher Nancy is very friendly, and the class atmosphere is excellent. Experience: An exceptionally good experience. After the teacher personally demonstrated, I followed along and cooked the dish myself. The cuisine is very authentic, and even those who don't usually cook can easily make it. The portions were generous and delicious. I left feeling very satisfied after the experience and will definitely try cooking it again at home.
it is very worth to join the class. as we learned how to cook Phad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yun Gon and Mango Sticky Rice. Also, everyone can cook and eat the food themselves. Teachers and teaching assistants are very helpful as well!
