What to do and see in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Food & Drink

August 15, 2021 Trinity Boughner

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.

Was the only participant for this wonderful class. Picked up on time and driven to the market for an intro into Thai ingredients. Then Som took me to the marvellous Cooking School. Wow! Fantastic surroundings and Chef Charles was very thorough and insightful. Pity I was the only one. I had to eat all 6 meals - all before lunch!!! Highly recommended. As a bonus the driver droped me off in the old town instead of my hotel, so i could visit the sights. Service with a smile. Awesome experience.

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

Cooking with Poo and Friends

One of the most highly acclaimed Thai cooking experiences in Bangkok, Cooking with Poo and Friends is limited to 12 participants to maintain an intimate setting and includes a personal tour through the Klong Toey market to purchase ingredients for the day's menu. The class is hosted by Khun Poo's amazing staff, a group of long-time residents of the Klong Toey slum who have displayed incredible resolve despite personal difficulties. The class is practical, warm, fun, and gives a true taste of Thai culture you'll never forget.

The pick up point very easily accessible from the train station, the directions on the email where very clear! Market tour was awesome the lady to took us was very informative! Definitely not what I was expecting to see there but it’s all part of the culture! Poo is a very warm, kind, genuine person you can definitely tell that she take a lot of pride in her cooking school and she is doing such amazing work with her community! I would love to be her neighbor as each dish we cook she made one for her neighbor:) DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK AGAIN!

I took my wife to Chef Leez's cooking class as part of her birthday and we really enjoyed learning about Thai cooking. Chef Leez and her team made it extremely streamlined so that we could learn and experience a lot in a relatively short amount of time. I am still wow'd by how much flavor we could create in such simple and quick dishes. My favorite parts were making fresh coconut cream and milk in the traditional way, scraping the old coconuts, soaking in water, and squeezing out the cream and milk. We also learned how to make a crazy delicious shrimp head paste that makes every soup taste insanely good. I also appreciated how Chef Leez taught us that all the inedible spices and flavor makers, like camphor lime leaves and lemon grass, should be removed by the cook before serving. This is never done in restaurants. Chef Leez is very knowledgeable and personable. The space is great and everyone gets a digital copy of her recipes to try at home.
