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.

Bangkok's most unique cooking school and workshop space. Based in Bangkok’s famous Flower Market our offering is: Market Tours, Cooking Workshops, Edible Arts and Flower Arts. The Market Experience aims to show the local culture by exploring local markets. We hope you will get a deeper insight into market life, local culture and of course the people who work and shop in the markets.
What can I say that every one else hasn't already said? Alyssa and Tum - you've got a WINNING FORMULA in engaging your "students". Everything was superbly organised - cutlery, cooking tools, different types of mortar and pestles for different purposes, crockery, ice-cold Thai soft drinks, well-timed schedule (despite my buying a kilo of peanuts from one of the market vendors, which got him grinning from ear to ear ... in addition to lemon grass tea, mini garlic, dried shrimps, dried roselle, shrimp paste ... haha). Everything else conceivable was well thought out - from the cold wet towels, to wash-hand basins, framed photos and descriptives of the dishes to regular reminders to wash our hands before handling the raw ingredients in particular. The market tour around Yodpiman - Bangkok's oldest and largest flower and vegetable market - was great. Including finding out about floral garland and decoration vendors that are specially recognised as experts in doing up arrangements appropriate for royalty; tasting still-warm rice cakes; learning the difference between two different types of mangoes for the "som tum" salad; and having a close look at a market that's definitely off the usual tourist track. We learnt to cook - from scratch - four mainstay Thai dishes - miang kham, a traditional Thai salad with various ingredients like dried shrimp, peanut, garlic, chilli, lime, onions, roasted coconut, topped with a superb sweet-sauce sauce, and wrapped in either a betel nut leaf or lotus flower petal; som tum, shredded salad with either mango, papaya or guava; pad thai, stir-fried rice noodles with beancurd, beansprouts, prawns, and cooked - you guessed it - a specially made sauce; and a green chicken curry. We were also taught the technique of using the mortar and pestle (this gives much better control of the fine-ness of the ground ingredients, instead of in an electric blender). Look forward very much to returning and doing another class - the afternoon session offers different recipes yeah?

I first heard of this shop a couple years ago, and kept meaning to check it out, and finally did. Reviews and discussion were split on whether it was a fascinating place that's well worth visiting, an old department store version of time travel, or if wasn't viable as a shopping outlet due to carrying really dated stock, in an environment that made people feel uncomfortable. Now I get it; it's both. I liked it, hence the 5 dots. Most of the stock wouldn't be of interest to people, very old clothes, some old personal goods, old sporting goods and musical instruments (really old--I suppose some might be worth money related to that), and so on. I wanted to take pictures, to capture the theme there, but signs say not to, and reviews mention that it's not welcomed. I saw a few modern items there, mixed in with really dated stock, which would make for an option if a visitor wanted to take part in a retail theme (new soccer balls, new dumbells). Then I saw what I would have been looking for, if I'd even considered that it existed: traditional Thai silk versions of Barbie clothes. Probably not actually silk, but that's hardly the point given that Barbie is going to be wearing it. They sold the outfits separately (for 100 baht, $3, and absolute steal) or with a doll wearing an outfit who is essentially an Asian version of Barbie (for 280 baht, less than $10, when the outfit itself is surely worth that, if there even was a retail for such a thing). Barbie costs around $10 to $15, wearing plain clothes; I just bought those for Christmas around a month ago. As for the Thai clothes version, forget about finding those anywhere else; it's not going to happen. My 5 year old daughter was thrilled. Except that she didn't love the Rama 5 era style Thai "pants" version as much, so in dressing Elsa and Anna of course Anna got stuck wearing that. She liked it so much I swung back through to buy more before posting this. I checked and it is stock they refresh regularly, so if word gets out others will probably buy out all they have, and then they'll get it back in. As for the staff seeming bored and giving you strange looks, sure, they did that. They warmed up when I spoke Thai to them but others won't have that option. Go anyway; you'll never see anything like this place again. "Old Siam" is a very old themed "mall" across the street that stayed viable; stop there too to actually buy Thai snack foods, modern clothes, or the modern version of what Barbie was wearing for adults. I bought a Thai silk jacket there for my wedding 11 years ago, the only time I've been in that building before this week.

More of a wholesale market than a shopping experience, the fresh flower market has become a tourist attraction thanks to its sheer size, beauty and exoticism.
Colorful, busy, different and very interesting!! Tons of beautiful flowers and greens, offerings mixed with food, vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices in many many narrow fields where you need to dribble people, motorcycles, bikes and men carrying their goods in small carts.

Snaking through the country, then the CITY to the ocean is the Chao Phraya river that breathes life in every way. From getting fed to feeding your self by boat or buying boats on a boat is the commerce and survival for many Thai people. Stay close to it - cross it - smile. This river was Bangkok before reviews like this were possible.
