Bangkok: Thai Cooking Class & Market Tour with Lunch
Cook Thai Food in Bangkok, Then Eat What You Made
You arrive at House of Taste in Bangkok and cook four Thai dishes from scratch — pad thai, curry, soup, and mango sticky rice — in an air-conditioned kitchen with a guide who shows you technique and ingredient balance. You eat everything you make, take home the recipes, and the class adjusts for dietary needs if you mention them at booking. Morning sessions include a stop at Asok market; afternoon and evening classes feature mango carving instead.

The Experience
"So you're actually going to teach me how to make pad thai from scratch?" The instructor nods and hands you a wok. That's the moment it clicks — you're not watching someone cook Thai food, you're standing in an air-conditioned kitchen in Bangkok learning to do it yourself. House of Taste Thai Cooking Class runs the same way every day: you arrive, you get introduced to the ingredients (the real stuff — fresh Thai basil, bird's eye chilies, galangal, the herbs that make the food taste like Bangkok tastes), and then you cook four dishes. Monday through Sunday the menu rotates, but you're always making a curry, a stir-fry, a soup or salad, and mango sticky rice for dessert.
If you book the morning class, you start at Asok market before heading to the kitchen — that's where you see what goes into the food before you touch it. The afternoon and evening sessions skip the market and do mango carving instead, which is its own skill. Either way, you're cooking in a real kitchen with real heat and real ingredients, not a demo where you watch from a stool. The class moves at a pace that lets you actually learn the technique — how to balance the heat, when to add the fish sauce, why the order matters. Your guide walks you through each step, and you eat what you cooked as soon as it's done.
Everything is included: the ingredients, the water, the meal itself, even a printed recipe to take home so you can try it again. If you need vegetarian, halal, kosher, or have allergies, tell them when you book and they'll swap in what works. There's a locker for your stuff, and the space is comfortable enough that you're not sweating through your shirt while you're trying to concentrate. A small amount of walking is involved, so wear shoes you don't mind moving in.

- Your class includes all ingredients and cooking equipment, the four-dish meal you prepare, cold and hot drinking water, use of a personal locker, a printed recipe to take home, and all taxes and fees.
- Morning sessions add entry to Asok market; afternoon and evening sessions include mango carving instruction instead.
