Market first, then a garden kitchen: four dishes, a curry paste from scratch and a recipe book to take home.
Best for: Rainy days and food-led trips. The route runs Bangkok. Everything below is a starting point: hotels can be upgraded or simplified, days can be added, and any element can be removed.
The market walk is what makes this different. Most Bangkok cooking classes start at a purpose-built kitchen with prepped ingredients; this one starts at a wet market at 9am, buying the herbs and pastes you will use, with a guide who explains which fish sauce is worth paying for.
The class itself covers four dishes — a curry paste from scratch, a stir-fry, a soup and a dessert — and you eat what you cook. It is genuinely hands-on, the heat levels are adjustable, and the recipe pack is written for ingredients you can buy outside Thailand.

Three to six months ahead for the best hotels, and by September for travel over Christmas and New Year. Green-season trips can usually be arranged with six weeks’ notice.
Yes to both, with notice. The curry paste and the fish sauce are the two things that need substituting.
From about eight, with a parent helping. The kitchen uses open flame and hot oil.

“No hidden extras. The price we agreed in November was the price we paid, entrance fees and all. Rare enough to mention.”

“We asked for two nights with nothing planned. They understood immediately, which most agencies do not.”
