Cooking Class with Two Market Tours and River Boat Trip

What to Expect

Located just outside of Bangkok, our cooking class is totally removed from where tourists normally travel and will give you a look into the real Thailand. 

First, we'll take you to visit a wholesale market with vast amounts of produce, meat, and seafood. Our expert chefs will give you a history of Thai food and introduce the key ingredients used in Thai cuisine. We will then travel to Don Wai Market, which is a truly local market known for its wide variety of vegetables, fruit, condiments, Thai desserts, and snacks. At both markets, you'll get the opportunity to taste a variety of snacks and ingredients. 

After exploring the market, guests will board our riverboat and travel down the Tha Chin River to our restaurant — and start cooking!

The class is taught by an expert Thai chef. You will be taught a variety of skills, from making curry paste to stir-frying. 

Once the cooking is done, everyone will relax in an air-conditioned dining room or the outside deck overlooking the river. Together, we'll enjoy refreshments and the meal you've just cooked.
