Bangkok cooking classes — market-to-table, compared
Curry paste pounded by hand, floating-market shopping, five dishes you'll actually remake at home — Bangkok cooking classes are the quickest way to understand what you will be eating all trip.

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?
In the cool-season peak, book once your dates are fixed. Cancellation terms differ from class to class, so read them on the listing before you pay.
