Cook, Stay & Explore: Thai Family Kitchen, Canal Cruise & Market Adventure

About

Learn how to cook Thai food with a Thai family and experiences authentic Thai ways of life. 

Since 1990, we has opened our Thai traditional teak house and our family kitchen to travelers around the world to get in touch with local life. You will travel through canals by long-tailed boat to our house in the big garden. Pip, a joyful instructor and loving Mom, will share her secrets of cooking tips. You will cook five authentic Thai recipes (and get tons of cooking tips) including pounding your own curry paste from scratch!

Then stay overnight in our natural wind breeze room and wake up to birds chirping. We will take you to Bangbuathong market which has been a marketplace for more than 100 years. We have been shopping in this market ever since we opened our home. 

Please contact us if you're interested in accommodation for more than 1 night.
