Punctual, clean, well-organised, we made delicious food (which we could eat in or takeaway) and the instruction was easy to follow. We could each choose what we wanted to cook. Plenty of staff to assist and clean up as you’re cooking. An enjoyable experience, we learned lots

The cooking class completely exceeded our expectations! The ability to choose from so many dishes allowed us to customize the cooking experience, which seems like a unique touch to this particular company. And to top it off - it was the best Thai food we had on the entire trip. 10/10. Completely recommend. Come hungry - it is a very large amount of food.
Not a big fan of this place. First off, pictures on their website are a lie- the place looks very different from the modern bright interior they are showing online. Our class was meant to start at 1:15 but shortly before 2 we were still waiting around stupidly. I pointed this out to our instructor, Lekky and she got all defensive and aggro about what clearly is their own bad planning. About one hour later than we had been told, all the other participants had finally bothered to arrive. The class itself was fine but felt rather impersonal and scripted, having so many participants did not help either and it made the whole thing feel rather overpriced for what it is. In between, we had further breaks to stall the class along, which in the end could have been done in half the time. Not recommended.
Great instructor! Our family of seven ( adult kids and spouses) had a wonderful time learning about the ingredients and flavors of Thai cuisine. Would highly recommend!
We booked this for our brothers birthday and had the best time. The staff were so kind, informative and funny. They have a great set up. You will get your tummy's and money's worth. Thank you so much!
Incredible value for this class!!! They were able to clearly teach 5 dishes as they had numerous helpers pre measure and set up for food and clean up wok after each dish Best to come very hungry More food than you can eat and you can bring leftovers back home with you The instructors were fun and very skilled Would highly recommend
Lekkhy & her team were amazing. While the market didn't match due to not many shops being open on a Monday, seeing a lot of the herbs & veggies used in Thai dishes and indeed what we were going to make was great. When it came to the dishes, Lekkhy was amazing. We all had same/similar dishes and she was able to not only guide us to what steps we need to take but also point out what else we needed to do. Moving to the cooking, it was amazing learning how to cook 4 dishes we wanted & not only learn how to make Mango & sticky rice, but also learn how to add natural colour from plants. I also looked at many cooking school options & I don't regret going to this school - it's well worth it!
I reached out before the scheduled class and never received a response, but still went to the meeting point on time because I did not want to risk being marked as a no-show. The instructions said to meet at “Exit 3” of the station, but the exits were not clearly labeled, so even finding the correct location was unnecessarily confusing. After waiting there with no host and no communication, I sent many messages and still received no response. Almost an hour later, the host finally replied and simply suggested rescheduling after my entire morning had already been wasted. I eventually received a refund (not directly from the host). The experience itself was completely unprofessional and poorly managed.
We enjoyed the cooking class very much. The classroom was well equipped and set up nicely, the class was small, the instructors very helpful and attentive. My husband, who does not cook at home at all, was able to follow along and had a great time! Our chef instructor, Lekki, was the absolute best! She was very calm, informative, and helpful, just very laid back and wanted to make sure we enjoyed the foods we cooked. We also went to the market and got an education on the spices and ingredients we were using. The class was super helpful in understanding Thai food and knowing what each dish is. We made 5 dishes to eat, which we had a choice of. Each person made his or her own. It was fun, no stess, instructors right there to help, and we produced a really delicious meal! I would definitely recommend to anyone!
The staff and the chef were excellent. They catered to my family of four, which includes an 8-year-old and an 11-year-old. The youngest still required parental guidance as expected to make sure he didn't cut himself or hurt himself cooking. Chef would come by and monitor and help him throughout the process once we got to the wok. Recipes were explained thoroughly and the cooking process of fantastic. All the food came out mouth-wateringly delicious.
This was an amazing and well informed class. It was fun and you learned a lot. Good for any skill level. Don’t hesitate. This cooking class is a must do while here in Thailand.
Terrific cooking class. We learned a variety of vegetarian dishes and they all tasted great. Instructions were clear and the class was professionally managed. Highly recommend this place to learn vegetarian cooking.
A really professionally organised cooking class. Clear instructions from very friendly chef Lekky, great sense of humor & the rest of the team. All dishes turned incredibly delicious & beautiful (cannot wait to execute again at home. Also some substitute ingredients suggested if impossible to find at home) A great morning, kháawp khun khâ Thai cooking Academy.
Excellent! Highly recommended! Nice staff and nice facilities!
The instructions were very clear. A friendly atmosphere. And the organisation was thorough. We learn some new techniques and were introduced to new ingredients on the tour of the market.
We were 5 minutes late to the pickup and they did not wait. No effort in communication was ever made with us. We tried and tried to reach them and even tried to walk to the market but were unsuccessful. Horrible experience.
It was super nice the chef was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English we all got to Chose 4 different dishes from a list and it was amazing how well everything was tasting cool experience to do we really enjoyed it
Kind and knowledgeable instructors set everyone up for success, and everyone ends the day with so much great food, plus access to recipes. Friendly for those with allergies and dietary restrictions. Accommodations were nbd.
We all had an amazing time and learnt a lot about Thai cooking. I would definitely recommend this class. The instructor chef and staff were lovely and very helpful.
great experience learning about ingredients and techniques to cooking our 5 dishes - I have eaten lots of Thai food, and there's nothing like eating great Thai food that you created/cooked yourself - I am ready to go shopping when I return to the US, and getting some ingredients and seasonings - the Thom Kai Gai soup we made was one of the best I've had.
5 out of 5 or 10 out of 10. Quality. Competence. Vision. Merit. Highly recommended. Good for solo or larger group. Would attend again.
Great experience cooked a ton of dishes. Lots of options on what to make. If you have an allergy they handled very well, you can control the spice level on every dish. The food was awesome and the staff was great!!
awesome ladies. very informative. so much food to eat once you are done cooking you get to eat everything you make
Lykke and the team are friendly and nice. I got confused with the taxis, and the owner helped me . The food was very tasty,fun to make and can be adjusted for vegetarians.
An excellent experience! Chef Lekky was perfect, amusing, entertaining and with exceptional culinary skills, couldn’t have been better. Learnt a lot and had great fun.
Wonderful experience. We went to the market first to learn about all the ingredients and then returned to the kitchen. The chef and team were incredibly efficient and competent and the food we cooked was delicious. The recipes were easy to follow and we did everything from scratch. Definitely would recommend this to anyone who likes good food.
Wonderful cooking experience!! Very delicious food & super fun! Would definitely recommend, if you have a free afternoon in Bangkok!
This cooking class is absolutely the best in all of Thailand. We have taken this class 8 times because we always learn something new and the Chef/ teacher is amazing! The dishes are delicious and the directions are easy to follow. We continue to cook the dishes we learn back home in the USA.
It was really easy to contact and the market was really local. The school was super organized and the instruction very exact. We loved the experience and the food. Be aware to eat a lot. ;) We can only recommend it.
Really enjoyed the cooking activity. My wife scared of new food but with seeing the ingredients and the preparation helped her experience the local food and understand the shopping and cooking of different dishes. She still doesn’t want to cook but it was worth it to me to see her actually enjoy the food we cooked. The chief also let us know what made to decide sh spicy hot so we could make to our own level of comfort. Go hungry for sure or plan on taking food out with you.
This was a great cooking experience that included a walk to a local market to learn about the ingredients used in Thai cooking. What I loved best about this cooking class was that we really got to make our own individual dishes from scratch. Other than making the curry(which a portion of the work was shared with another student making the same dish), we literally made everything ourselves. I appreciate that especially from a sanitary standpoint. I’ve taken cooking classes in other countries where things were shared in ways that compromised food safety and also the individuality and effort of each chef individually . I was happy to eat exactly what I made and how I made it. The only thing I would change about this class would be to have the code for recipes shared digitally instead of on a piece of paper/certificate. I 100% recommend this cooking class if you’re interested in really learning to cook Thai food. The red curry we made is the best I’ve ever had in my life!
Very well organised cooking class, friendly and knowledgeable staff, very clean and air conditioned venue, and overall excellent experience. We had Chef Lekki and she is a superstar. The market you got to at the start of the class wasn't too far from the cooking class location, about 2 minutes walk. The only thing that was very confusing for everyone was the meeting location. Two groups formed - one on the street in front of the Cinema and another upstairs in the station. We stayed upstairs next to Exit 3, which is where the staff member met us promptly at 1:15pm (afternoon class). Would highly recommend this experience! Make sure you have an empty tummy as you'll make lots of food!
I am not much of a chef, but managed to keep up. Chef Lekki was great as were the other helpers. The market tour was informative and I really like how you get to choose from a range of dishes. Make sure you go there hungry because you definitely won't be hungry afterwards! I look forward to having a go making some of the recipes at home.
This was one of the best cooking classes I have ever attended. My family and I like to go to cooking classes when we travel. This was by far the most food I've ever cooked and got to cook. The chef was knowledgeable, kind and funny. The sous chef was great as well. She picked us up at the BTS and walked us around the market. This was definitely a top notch experience. I highly recommend.
Lekki was great, she explained well and I had a lot of fun preparing the food. I hope that I can recreate it all that well when back home!
I booked this before visiting Bangkok with my 16 year old son… I did get a little nervous beforehand that it might not be “his thing” but I was so wrong! The personality and enthusiasm of our teacher was so incredibly infectious… the teaching was fabulous and so easy to follow at every step of the way… the food was delicious and even catered for me being vegetarian…. I 100% recommend
Came in the morning, only person who booked, so it was private. The cleanliness and ingredient quality was great and it was very organized. Wish I learned more about the chemistry of the food and techniques and was given a physical recipe to follow instead of being told what to do. I think it was a little expensive for what it was but positive experience overall.
The food was delicious and the market tour interesting. Clear instructions and everything was portioned out for the dishes chosen. So easy to achieve a great meal.
everyone was so friendly and guided us alone every step. everything was kept clean, and the food cooked was very delicious. would definitely recommend this cooking class when in thailand!
It was sooooo good! friendly staffs, nice market tour, many choices of recipes. Single guest should join another guest to make a team to cook though, it was also good because the portion is a lot for having by one person.
Incredibly slick operation. Best food we ate in Bangkok. Can’t believe we were all cooking different dishes and yet no hanging around.
It was a great experience. They were so organized and the food was delicious. I would do it again if the opportunity arose.
I had a great time doing the course. We had a great tour of a local market which discussed the ingredients used for this cuisine. Then we went back to the classes and had the knowledgeable staff walk us through how we needed to prepare the meals we had selected. I chose Pad Thai, Spicy Chicken Larb, Black Pepper Beef and Green Chicken Curry. All turned out really well so my lunch was very nice. Getting there was quite easy as they are located close to one of the BTS Railway stations which is a really good way to travel in Bangkok. All in all I was very happy with this course.
The place is filthy. I mean FILTHY. We did not eat any thing. Instructors nice enough but who cares about that when you are nervous about touching anything. If this is normal for Bangkok then I am not normal.
My mom, sister and I really enjoyed the cooking class. We learned how to make traditional Thai dishes while having a great time! We prepared more than enough food for one. Would Recommend.
Very well organized. Answered all the questions I asked and got some nice recipes. Maybe if you don't ask a lot you won't get all the details. Food was yummy and took some to go at the end. Exactly what I hoped for! Thank you Chef R, she was very helpful!
This is a true hands-on cooking class. You are not just observing someone else preparing dishes. You will make more food than you could possibly eat. Very clear instructions, lots of choices, and quality ingredients. Class was timed perfectly and well instructed. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Excellent cooking school. (My second time). Come hungry. You will cook four dishes and then have desert. Tour of local market included
It was my third time, and it was a fantastic experience! This time, I brought my 8-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loved it. The chefs are incredibly talented and make the whole process enjoyable, guiding us with patience and enthusiasm. The choice of dishes to make is always exciting, and I can't wait to bring my son along for the next class.
We had the best time! It was fun, Chef Lekky was warm and friendly plus we got to learn how to make lots of tasty food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
