The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Silom, Thailand
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

Great experience and good value, the cook took us to the local market about 10 mins walk from the school and gave a very interesting guide to the market and fresh ingredients. Back at the school it's air conditioned, fun, clean and very interesting, the cook showed us 5 dishes that we got to eat and a complimentary cook book after. Highly recommended

I recently took a class at the Sompong Thai Cooking School, and it was an amazing experience. (Full disclosure: I am a professional chef from the US and have worked at Michelin-star restaurants. I’ve also been an executive chef at my own restaurant so I understand the value of a quality teaching experience. I’m providing this review based on my real experience. I paid for my class as a regular student.) Owner and chef Koy was brilliant. She was kind and patient while being detailed and thorough. She invited my questions. She was always reminding me to relax and smile. Class started with a very fun and informative visit to the local market, where I learned about Thai herbs, spices, and vegetable varieties. She explained how to select the best ingredients and how to know when something was fresh or past its prime. I learned how coconut cream and milk is made. The market visit alone was worth the cost, as it allows you to shop the local fresh markets with confidence. Back at the school, the instruction room is large and well-organized, with new, clean, quality equipment and sharp knives. Each ingredient and recipe step is explained. Technique is emphasized, which allows students to extrapolate their learning to other dishes beyond the day’s lesson. Most importantly, you actually cook! Some schools are more like cooking demonstrations, where you watch the chef cook and then sample the dish. Others divide up the cooking jobs to create a group meal. Neither of those options will give you the ability to cook a meal at home. At Sompong, you’ll actually prep and cook the entire menu, learning each and every step so you can take the full knowledge of the dish home to your own kitchen. They’ll teach you the delicate balance of sweet, spicy, sour and salty that makes Thai food so delicious and satisfying. And there is no MSG! Their recipes derive flavor from real ingredients. At the end of the class, you’ll have 4-course meal to eat, and you’ll inevitably have extra to take home with you. In my opinion, one of the best things about Sompong is you will learn to make curry paste in the traditional way, with a mortar and pestle, pounding and grinding the ingredients into deliciousness. No more store-bought goo of questionable quality. Curry paste is a staple of the Thai household, and the ability to make it yourself is a major step toward being able to cook satisfying Thai food at home. (And yes, you can use your blender once you get home.) Koy explains how to substitute for vegetarians and for ingredients that may not be easily found in your home country. You’ll also receive a quality recipe book with information on the building blocks of Thai food and dozens of recipes. The recipes are written in English and are easy to follow. Beautiful, kind, talented people teaching delicious Thai recipes in a great setting. What a find! Book their courses with confidence. Don’t be fooled by other schools that promise more dishes or cheaper prices. Go to Sompong instead, and get the real experience of cooking Thai food from raw ingredients to final plating. I enjoyed the experience so much I booked another class for the next day. Thai food is amazing! Do yourself a favor and have some fun learning how to cook a few dishes at home. Wishing the Sompong crew continued success!

Fantastic afternoon spent out of the heat of the day. We had 4 hours making five dishes with a really engaging chef. The kitchen was very clean, and we each learned a lot that we did not know previously. It did not feel rushed, but a leisurely afternoon cooking with new and old friends. Their professional website is one of the best ways to learn about the different classes. Highly recommend.

Our host Santichai met us at a local market and explained all of the ingredients we were going to use in our cooking. We then went back to the cooking school- only a short walk in order to begin preparing 4 delicious dishes. As a lover of asian cuisine and someone who loves to cook from scratch, the flavours of all dishes were super satisfying. Santichai was also able to provide a copy of the recipes for me to perfect at home. Best green curry I have ever eaten!
