Chef Pon is very friendly 🧑🏻‍🍳 The weekend afternoon classes also include a visit to a local supermarket (many only offer morning classes! Having afternoon classes is very friendly for those who like to sleep in~~ You cook one dish and eat one dish, so remember not to eat too much before you come! Everything was fantastic! It was a very comfortable experience, the classroom is new and very clean, and they even help with preparing ingredients and cutting boards! Plus, each person gets their own stove! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to take a cooking class in Bangkok 🧡🧡

What a great way to get out of the DT Bangkok area and see some beautiful art. The ancient city golf cart is a must rent! just make sure you get one with a full charge 😆…. was going to be a long walk back but a worker saved the day. Erewan is too spectacular to miss! this behemoth structure is incredible!
