About this tour
Master Thai cooking fundamentals at Sompong's Bangkok studio in a focused 4-hour session. Pick between morning classes that start at a local market to source ingredients yourself, or afternoon slots devoted entirely to cooking. You'll work at your own station under instructor guidance, preparing several dishes from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made. Vegetarian versions available. Takes 4 hours total.
Highlights
- Source fresh ingredients at Bangkok market (morning option only)
- Cook three to four dishes at your own station
- Expert Thai instructors guide technique and flavour-building
- Take home a proper recipe book
- Eat your finished meals straight after class
What to expect
You'll arrive at the school (morning group) or go straight into cooking (afternoon). If you've chosen the market option, you'll walk through a bustling Bangkok market with your instructor, learning to identify quality produce and aromatics used in Thai kitchens. Back at the studio, you receive all ingredients pre-prepped or whole, depending on the dish. You work through pastes, stir-fries, curries, or soups with step-by-step direction—chopping, tasting, adjusting heat and seasoning as you go. The instructors share context about each dish's history and regional origins. After cooking, you sit together to eat everything you've prepared, with drinks included.
Good to know
The daily menu rotates, so check what's cooking on your chosen date. Afternoon classes skip the market visit entirely. All equipment, ingredients, and a recipe book are provided. Vegetarian adaptations are straightforward. Public transport is nearby if you're arranging your own way there.
