What to expect
Many people say you learn a country best through its food, and the Maliwan Thai Cooking Class offers an immersive way to explore authentic Thai cuisine. Located near Khao San Road, this hands-on experience features small class sizes and expert instructors. Your day begins with a Tuk Tuk ride to a local market, where you’ll tour bustling stalls and handpick fresh ingredients essential to traditional Thai cooking. Back at the studio, the instructor demonstrates one dish at a time, and each participant prepares their own version, following step by step. This process is repeated for all four dishes. Once cooking is complete, you’ll enjoy your own set of four freshly prepared meals in a satisfying, personal dining experience.











Reviews
It was great! The teacher was very patient and introduced us to many unfamiliar ingredients at the local market. We made delicious Thai food!
We gifted our team members an experience at Maliwan Thai Cooking Class, and they absolutely loved it! The class was fun, interactive and so well organised from start to finish. The teacher was so warm, patient and knowledgeable, making them feel welcome regardless of their cooking experience. Learning to prepare authentic Thai dishes was not only enjoyable but something our staff will remember for a long time. They left smiling, full of delicious food and proud of what they had created. We highly recommend Maliwan Thai Cooking Class for anyone looking for a memorable gift, or simply a fantastic way to experience Thai culture. Thank you for giving our team such a wonderful day!
It was a great class. Went to the markets and it was very exclusive as we were the only ones there.
Instructor was very informative throughout the session. Cooking was easy with pre measured ingredients. The wet market trip was a nice touch too. Highly recommend :)
The teacher is very fluent in Chinese. What is different from other cooking classes is that all dishes will be learned from scratch, for example: how to cook tamarind, and will not buy ready-made tamarind juice for use. It is really a class that benefits a lot.
This cooking class was really fun, even for people with zero cooking experience! Instructor was patient and had a good command of English. we took a tuktuk to the market and the instructor gave us a lesson on ingredients used to make the Thai dishes. when you return from the market there will be people helping you with the preparation of ingredients so it will be easier. food was very yummy. overall 10/10
The experience of buying ingredients while touring the market in a tuk-tuk was fresh. It is not difficult to make various dishes in a short time, but the ingredients are well prepared and it is not difficult to follow the teacher's demonstration. Even if you don't know English well, you explain it so that you can understand it well, and when you finish cooking, you have a meal with the cooked dish and issue a certificate of completion. It was well worth the investment of half a day and had a meaningful time.
It was the most fun of my 10 day trip to Thailand!
May was very friendly & really make us feel like cooking at our own home kitchen.Her assistants were also very helpful.
Simply amazing. We had so much fun. The classes are small so you get plenty of attention and the food tastes amazing. Rediscovered thai cuisine thanks to this class! Thanks May, the sweetest cook and instructor ever!
