Pad Thai Cooking Class — Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
About This Activity
A Thai cooking class is one of the most rewarding souvenirs you can take home from Bangkok. Classes typically start with a local market visit to select fresh ingredients, then move to the kitchen to prepare three to four dishes including pad thai, green or red curry, and tom kha soup. Top-rated schools include Baipai Thai Cooking School (2,200 THB) in Nonthaburi and Blue Elephant Cooking School (3,800 THB) in Sathorn. Classes run morning and afternoon sessions; all skill levels are welcome and printed recipe guides are always provided.
Seasonal note: Available year-round; book at least a week ahead during high season (Nov–Mar)
