My husband and I had a wonderful time at Silom cooking school. The classes are small, the instructors are friendly, and you are given the oppertunity to meet other travelers from around the world! The whole experience is top knotch. The two stand out asspects of this experience are 1) Shopping in the local market 2) educational value. The instructors... More

After receiving very clear instructions from Silom cooking school as to where to meet before our market we met our guide at the sky train station and of course she was on time and ready to go. We headed down to the morning market where we met Oliver who was our teacher for the day. Oliver was very good and... More

I accidentally found the Silom Thai Cooking school on the web. Our first plan is to go to Pathaya or samui island were one of the best thai cooking school can be found. But unfortunately, there is a little bit of difficulty arranging our scheds due to limited time. Anyhow, the timing favored us because when i booked our Hotel... More

I found this cooking school via my lonely planet guide and really had a great half day there! You go to a market first and then try out cooking a total of six dishes AND get to enjoy them lateron. So don't eat any breakfast before coming here! :-) I learned a lot about spices, vegetables, etc. and can only... More

The instructor was hilarious... I went there with my family members... At first they were skeptical about it but at the end of the lesson they were craving for more.. Everyone definitely enjoyed the whole package.. It's rather an unusual experience because this one, u paid for the lesson, u eat ur own food, and u go back to ur... More

Just returned from class and had a very good time. Chef Noonsi (sp?) is a fun, high spirited instructor who keeps the class moving along. Classes are part practical and part demonstration. Most of the instructions were done by all people to some degree. There were sixteen people in the class which made for a tight fit, but everyone had... More

I like the cooking environment because it's Thai style home and kitchen decore. Visited local market before the class start, then chef Nusi gave us some knowledges on Thai cooking ingredient. He is a very cheerful and talkative person. It was a casual cooking class with laugh and fun, nothing serious. Remember to attend class with a very empty stomach... More

This cooking school based in Silom was brilliant value for money. The four hour lesson included buying the ingredients at the local market and getting a run down of all the ingredients used in Thai cooking. We then made five fantastic dishes: tom yam soup (with prawns); prawn pad thai; chicken larb gai (salad); green chicken curry with homemade green... More

My boyfriend and I signed up for the morning session in February. It was one of my favourite activities during our 3 day stay in Bangkok. The school refunds you for any transportation costs and they give very clear instructions on how to get there or where and when to meet for pick up. The class starts off with a... More
