Thai Cooking Class in Aonang: Learn to Cook 6 Dishes

Cook six Thai dishes from scratch and walk out with the recipes in your hands

Sukhothai Cooking School in Aonang teaches you to cook 6 authentic Thai dishes in a 3-hour class with a guide fluent in English. You choose your own herbs and ingredients, prepare each dish yourself in an open-air kitchen, and either take the food home or eat it on-site. Classes run mornings (9:30am–12:30pm) or afternoons (2pm–5pm), with free tuk-tuk pickup in Aonang and Klong Muang. Groups stay under 10 people. Private classes are available Wednesday and Saturday.

The experience

The class starts with Thai herb juice and moves through seven components: you'll learn to make authentic Sukhothai noodles, an appetizer, three main-course selections, and a dessert. The instructor (who has over 40 years of cooking experience) walks you through choosing the right herbs and ingredients at the start, then you prepare each dish yourself in the open-air kitchen. The school provides water and insurance for every student, and you're free to take everything home or sit down and eat it right there once you're done.

Pickup is included in Aonang and Klong Muang, so you don't need to arrange transport. Vegetarian options are available from the regular menu. The school does not accommodate students with allergies. Public transportation is also nearby if you prefer to make your own way. Morning and afternoon departures mean you can fit the class around the rest of your day, and private classes on Wednesday and Saturday let you build your own menu if you're traveling with a group.

What’s included

• Bottled water and lunch or dinner depending on which time slot you choose.
• free tuk-tuk pickup in Aonang and Klong Muang.
• insurance for every student.
