Your day starts off with a trip to the local market where you'll be instructed on how to choose the ingredients correctly as well as get the items you need for the day. At the school, your instruction will begin. You will cook five delicious Thai courses, each one from scratch. The art of creating Thai food comes from the careful steps that lead to it, and you'll be given a true hand-on experience every moment. Guided by the chefs, you'll be able to properly create these great dishes and develop new skills!
Had a fantastic time learning to cook Thai food. The instructor auntie was so wonderful. The market tour was fun and we got to take a small tuck tuck ride. I would definitely recommend this.
Great value, great teacher, great food. Even if I made it myself. This is great fun. Must do. Very close to Pullman G suite hotel. 2 minutes walk.
What an incredible experience and so well organized! We started by walking to the market, where our teacher shared details about the ingredients we were buying and how locals eat. Then we returned to the school and started cooking. We were able to cook, then eat, then cook the next course, eat it, etc. We also each cooked a single serving, so you were only eating what you prepared. The most impressive part was the organization of the class. There were three areas - prep, cooking, and eating. We would prep the ingredients to create our mise en place. We would then take that to the cooking area, and while we were there, the staff would clear the prep area and set it up for our next course. It was all so seamless and well done! Just wish I had brought more cash for a tip and to buy a chopping block at the school. Our teacher was knowledgeable and fun. She was very attentive to everyone and you could tell she took pride in sharing her Thai culture through food. And, the cookbook includes all recipes, not just the ones of the class you chose.
Excellent experience! Food, instruction & atmosphere- top notch!!
Very nice and fun teacher. Everyone gets their own wok, so you can decide how spicy you want to eat. The Location is very pretty and clean. The eating room is airconditioned, which is very nice.
We really enjoyed our morning shopping and cooking at the Silom cookery school. Our host was really engaging and the group very friendly. If you have chance to visit. Do it.
An absolutely incredible time! Our instructor Mee was so totally engaging and informative. She made it feel like we were all honored guests in her own personal kitchen. Moreover, the entire curriculum was well crafted and executed. The market tour was so fun, ingredients we used could not have been fresher, and the food we ended up with could not have been tastier. We will book again when we return to Bangkok.
Went to the afternoon class and it was thoroughly enjoyable, Nuy our teacher was both informative and funny which made her class great. We made 5 different meals and all were very tasty and easy to cook. Would recommend this cooking school to anyone that wants to learn how to cook a few Thai dishes.
I would not hesitate to come again this was incredible visit and Ju made it even that much more memorable. It was professional, informative and organized!
Amazing! I learnt how to cook my 5 favourite Thai dishes! Tom Yum soup , Thai green curry , Som Tum salad, sticky mango rice etc.. And in the most easy way. Nice Atmosphere, clean equipments, wonderful staff , and the Food is Halal ! All in one! We learned a lot and got delicious Dinner !
Fun and joyious experience! Totally recommend it, we had a blast making delicious food, learning about Thai ingredients and making new fun memories. Recommend!
Nuy is our teacher. She is knowledgeable. Fun and makes the class interesting.. Well organized class and on time. Very fun activity and I highly Recommend to this site.
You’ll meet at the designated meeting point and then head to the marketplace to get the ingredients. Afterwards you’ll return to the school to begin cooking. You’ll make 3 courses, everything from the coconut milk from shaved coconuts, to the pad Thai to the curry. You’ll have the opportunity to cut up the ingredients and cook it in the kitchen with everybody. Getting to enjoy what you’ve made is very enjoyable
Great instruction! Fun, well organized, delicious food. Learning about the ingredients was a highlight. Don’t hesitate do go solo, my partner was in Bangkok for work and I went by myself and didn’t feel out of place at all. Thanks Nuy!!!!
Highly recommended. The class was very well organised in a nice facility. There was a nice balance between making our own dishes and working with pre-prepped ingredients, so we got most fun out of the class.
Thoroughly enjoyed the market tour and tastings and the delicious dishes we prepared. Fun group of people and a witty instructor. One of the highlights during my trip to Bangkok.
This class was awesome! I would absolutely do it again. Our instructor made the class 95% of what it was. She was so fun and funny. Our dishes were delish!
It will be an amazing experience with fresh ingredients instead of seasonings. You'll prepare, cook, and taste everything yourself. The food is delicious, and the humorous instructor encourages participation, making it fun.
My family and I had an incredible time at this morning Thai cooking class — truly one of the best cultural and culinary experiences I've had. The experience offered exceptional value, beginning with a guided visit to a bustling local market where we selected fresh ingredients. A tuk tuk ride to the cooking facility added a fun, authentic touch. Once at the kitchen, we dove into preparing Thai classics like Tom Yum Goong, Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. Each dish was hands-on and satisfying to make, with step-by-step instruction that was clear, engaging, and easy to follow, regardless of your cooking skill level. Cultural context was provided for each ingredient, adding interesting information. The host/teacher was fantastic — energetic, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. With her humour, she created a relaxed, fun atmosphere that made everyone feel involved. By the end of the class, not only had we eaten our own creations, but we also walked away with great memories and a deeper appreciation for Thai cuisine. Booked through Cookly - no problems, smooth process. Highly recommended!
Morning session includes a quick visit to local market to learn about the fresh ingredients that will be used in the different dishes to be prepared. Had opportunity to taste some different fruits. The class was fun and entertaining. Learned shortcut food prep tips. Generous helpings of delicious food, a witty instructor and a fun group of fellow foodies. Would highly recommend.
Oh My Gosh! This cooking class was amazing! We started shopping a local market for local vegetables and meats and then went to the kitchen to learn how to make Tom Yum soup, Green Curry Chicken, Pad Thai and Mango Salad, finished off with Mango Sticky Rice. It was very inexpensive and the food was excellent! Our chef/guide Her name was "ME" (Not sure of spelling) was excellent and her English was superb (She also spoke some japanese I think). We're from Ohio and my wife wanted to do this tour and I had just as much fun as she did. 5 stars for sure! Oh you get a cookbook of what you cook and a few other recipes as well.
Excellent class from beginning to end. Our instructor was fun, helpful, clear with instructions and very informative. Highly recommend this class.
The cooking class was great. Even my husband who does not cook at all, really enjoyed it. It was fun to go to the market and see the produce that we would use. Each person prepares every dish and we made 5 dishes. You chop and prepare some of the ingredients and a lot of the other ingredients are prechopped/pre measured for you. The layout was great -- your food cooking area is separate from where you enjoy your dish so you can have AC while you eat. You get a copy of all the recipes. Note that the entree dish differs depending on the day of the week so if you want to learn how to make a specific dish, check the schedule. Highly recommend this experience!
What a great experience. We did the morning tour which included the market tour. This was very interesting. Highly recommend this cooking school. The food we made was delicious.
Great experience all round. Staff lovely, food fantastic. Would definitely recommend. Very professional, larger school than expected, but small group kept it feeling personable.
Silom cooking course was amazing! They were very well set up. I would however book directly with the company and not through viator as it was twice the price.
I truly enjoyed my experience and my instructor was very nice explaining the different herbs and spices of Thai food culture. I learned a lot.
A wonderful experience, enjoyed all the food . It was great to come away with a book of the recipes and other local dishes.
Did a 5 course cooking class without the market visit and LOVED it! Highly recommend! So fun and informative. Very family friendly
Erika was a wonderful instructor and helped us to create some wonderful Thai dishes. Exploring the local market and learning the cooking techniques was such a fun and memorable experience.
Fantastic experience. Meet at the central silom cooking school just off Silom road. Walk to local market and shown ingredients and opportunity to taste them fresh. Includes wet market for fish, herbs, spices, etc. then a tuk tuk to the cooking class, beautiful set up with 8 cooking stations. Cooked 5 meals and was given a recipe book, chop sticks and a certificate at the end. The teacher was fantastic and very funny.
Fabulous morning of cooking and eating!!! Maddy, our cook was excellent- her English was great with a fab sense of humour and great knowledge of the ingredients and dishes we prepared. Was really great value for money and I would recommend to anyone wanting to try a fun activity in a new country.
Fantastic the way they have organised it so even a clueless cook like me could follow. Really unique activity and lots of fun
it was the best thing we did in Bangkok with my family! had so much fun and some cute souvenirs as well thank you so much
Absolutely magnificent! A great way to meet new people. The instructor was very helpful and funny. She helped me make my food edible 😋.
The cooking school was so fun! April is so knowledgeable about cooking and the food we made was aoo good! We got to make our own coconut milk which was so fun! Very highly recommend!
My wife and I attended the morning cooking class on our visit to Bangkok. Without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Thailand, which included Phuket and Bangkok. The course was totally hands-on, and our instructor Pheng was knowledgeable, humorous, and full of tips and ideas around Thai cooking. The 5 course meal each individual created was nothing short of amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough this cook class.
Absolutely sign up!!!! Don’t eat before you go since you will eat everything you cook and it’s ALOT!! All delicious! I highly recommend this!
The entire experience was fun from going to the market , having all the ingredients explained and the end product (meals) were excellent. Instructor had very good English.
I loved Toom. She was the best. Engaging, knowledgeable, great sense of humor. I will return tomorrow. Her famous words
Everything was great. Great group of attendees and great instructor. Highly recommended to everyone.
A masterclass in presentation and hands-on sights, smells, and flavors of Thai cuisine. Worth every cent
Incredible experience, 4 courses, and ending with mango sticky rice. The school is colorful and beautifully decorated. On each floor there is a preparation room, cooking room (kitchen) and dining room. This easily allows for a smooth transition from bed inning to last stage where the food you cooked can be tasted. The teacher was well in control of the 5 kids and all had an amazing experience. And a gift pack to each on leaving. Truly wonderful
Highly organised and professional Extremely tasty, if I do say so myself! Fresh and excellent quality of food
The best tour I did amongst everything planned, this was such an immersive experience to Thai culture and food. Plus our instructor was so funny and made everything fun, I was at one point crying because of the chili but every other time because of her jokes 🤣
Going to the markets to get the food was fun. We enjoyed five different dishes. Very clean and comfortable and the staff are so friendly.
Amazing cooking class with a great variety of Thai dishes. They were very patient with our young children, and even gave them a gift. Thank you!
This tour is hands down the best one we have experienced. Recommend selecting the class with market tour. There were several options in selecting a cooking class tour, after a good amount of research we selected this one, even though the cost was higher. And it was worth it all. The experience is unforgettable, be prepared to take tons of photos and come hungry! The cooking environment was quaint and our teacher was excellent. Food was beyond delicious! They also gifted a cook book and a special item.
The instructor Ju was first rate!Informative, funny, thorough. We started with a short walk to the local market where we were shown the different Thai basils, gingers, and a few ingredients that I’ve never been able to find in the US (different eggplants and panana [not banana] leaves). After returning to the school, we began our first dish of TomYum soup. The help staff busily prepared and measured the different ingredients for the next stage while we were either cooking or eating so it flowed very smoothly. The cooking stations were separate from the prep and eating stations. THIS IS IMPORTANT!! I have been to another Bangkok cooking school before (had a good time, good people, great food, etc), BUT it was outdoors, all under a covered structure. Trust me, after cooking with high heat outdoors, it feels SO GOOD to come inside and eat in the air conditioning. This alone sets Silom Thai Cooking School apart from my other experience. After the TomYum soup, we continued the same routine (introduction of ingredients, chopping/cutting, grinding with a mortar and pestle) to make PadThai, then green Papaya salad, then green curry and finally mango sticky rice. All of the dishes (except the dessert, which was prepared beforehand) were the absolute tastiest I’ve ever had in the US and best of all…I MADE IT MYSELF. This was really quite revolutionary to me and underscored the fact that it all really comes down to having the best local spices/herbs AND an instructor that thoroughly knows the proper proportions of all of those ingredients. My next trip to Bangkok (and I WILL be back) will be another class at Silom with hopefully more and different dishes to prepare. I can’t wait to get back to the US and scout a market where I can find the ingredients to make my own dishes. I cannot recommend Silom Thai Cooking School enough! I guarantee that you will enjoy your time there. OH and the price is extremely reasonable. Even with a generous tip to instructor Ju, I consider it a great value. Learn how to cook the best Thai food you’ve ever eaten and kill 3 hours doing it for a reasonable price! No brainer.
We enjoyed cooking Thai dishes with our instructor Jewel. She was patient, kind and funny. She kept the class interesting. We walked to the market to get fresh vegetables for our dishes. It wasn’t far. Everything was so organized. We prepared food in one area, cooked in a separate area and devoured our dishes in another. I was impressed with how everything went so smoothly. After we returned from eating each dish, the preparation area was always set up for the next. I’m so happy I chose Silom cooking class. I could eat the food everyday.
