The best part of the trip to Bangkok was this class! May is a fabulously warm person, and the food she teaches is authentic thai and very very healthy! The class location is a little difficult to find, but once you reach there, she makes the cooking seem so easy peasy! You also learn a thai song which you learn... More

What a fantastic experience. From the warm welcome from May to the trip to the market and all the cooking, it's amazing value for 4 packed hours. We learned to cook 10 dishes and May shows you that great Thai food is quick, simple and doable by just about anyone. Not being Vegan, I kept working out what meat,seafood to... More

Came for the afternoon class with my wife. We found it to be warm, unpretentious, fun, and healthy. May Kaidee has a lot of "it" factor and seems to have captured the authentic soul of Thai food. Even though she could have gone a more commercialized route, she has stayed true to her values. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I were in Bangkok for our honeymoon and decided to check out May's cooking class. The class was definitely one of our highlights of our trip. May Kaidee is amazing! We cooked 12 dishes and all tasted delicious. Do NOT eat before you take this class. You will eat SO much food while you are there. The... More

Family of four, with two adults and two small children. We took the morning class, which included preparation of 12 vegan dishes. May Kaidee has a larger-than-life personality and this guides the entire experience. She met us at the door when we arrived and served us some fresh fruit and bottle water. When the entire class had arrived, she demonstrated... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking a morning cooking class in the beginning of March. We love thai food and were excited to learn how to cook it. We had no idea that the staff, particularly On who taught our class, and the others taking the class would be so much fun! We made about 8 dishes... More

I loved this cooking class. We learned how to make - and ate - over 13 dishes. We learned how to pick ingredients, what ingredients were fundamental to Thai cooking, and the base and variations to different dishes. May Kaidee and her assistant were entertaining and engaging and filled with humor and fun, too. You also learn a song that... More

First of all, let me start by saying that I am a committed carnivore. Even still, I decided to try out May Kaidee's Cooking School and it turned out to be a great decision. First, May takes you on a quick tour of the local market, and points out the different sauces and spices that are used in Thai cooking.... More

We really enjoyed this course in cooking vegetarian Thai basics. The prep work (such as veg cutting etc) is done for you and all you need to worry about is cooking the food from instructions. It's really effective and interesting to see how Thai food cooking works in practice - in just under 4 hours (including an hour at the... More
