Choose your dishes, cook from scratch
Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy is a hands-on Thai cooking school in On Nut, Bangkok, offering an interactive way to learn authentic Thai cuisine. Before cooking, students visit a local market to discover fresh Thai ingredients, herbs, spices, vegetables, and curry pastes.
Back at the school, each student has their own cooking area in a fully air-conditioned classroom, with all ingredients and equipment provided. Instead of following a fixed daily menu, you can choose 5 dishes from a selection of 22 authentic Thai dishes and prepare everything yourself from scratch.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy the lunch or dinner you have prepared. You will also receive recipes and online access to cooking tutorial videos, making it easy to recreate your favorite Thai dishes at home.
