About this tour
Combine a private boat journey along the Tha Chin River with hands-on Thai cooking at Aoy's riverside home near Bangkok. After pickup from Bang Wa BTS, you'll cruise downriver to her kitchen studio where you'll prep and cook an authentic Thai meal from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made together. The full experience runs three hours and hinges on learning directly from a local cook who genuinely enjoys teaching her food and culture.
Highlights
- Private boat ride down the Tha Chin River to Aoy's home
- Slice, dice and cook multiple Thai dishes in her kitchen studio
- Eat the meal you've prepared together with your host
- BTS pickup included from Bang Wa Station
- Vegetarian options available with advance notice
- Small group or solo traveller welcome
What to expect
Aoy collects you from the BTS and drives to a nearby pier where you board her boat for a tranquil ride downriver. The journey itself is the warm-up—time to relax and watch the water pass. You'll arrive at her riverside home, grab a cold drink, then move into the kitchen. Expect to handle real prep work: chopping vegetables, grinding pastes, managing heat. You're not watching a demo; you're cooking alongside her with guidance. Once everything's ready, you'll taste what you've made whilst your host shares stories and keeps the energy light.
Good to know
Pick-up is from Bang Wa BTS only—no hotel collection. The kitchen is properly equipped, not a tourist-facing setup. Let Aoy know about dietary preferences at booking. Beer and other drinks are sold on-site rather than included.
