Take it early in the trip

Do the class on day one or two — you'll read every menu in Bangkok differently once you know what goes into the food.

What do you cook in a Bangkok class?

Green curry from paste up, pad thai, tom yum, som tam and a coconut dessert. Most classes start with a market visit, cook 3-5 dishes hands-on, and send you home with the recipes.

Do classes suit beginners and kids?

Yes — they're built for first-timers and family sessions are common. Flag allergies and spice tolerance when you book.

How far ahead should I book?

The famous schools sell out days ahead in high season. Book once your dates are fixed; most offer free cancellation to 24 hours.
