시암 쿠커리 하우스(Siamese Cookery House)

This was a highlight of my trip to Bangkok. Tour of market to buy produce, then off to cookery school. Everything was done beautifully. Chef was such fun and food was gorgeous. Highly recommend . 5 stars

The organization was perfect. We went to the fresh market to buy our fresh ingredients then went to the school class where they are taking care of everything so we can cook in the perfect and enthusiastic atmosphere. And I have to say our teacher was always in a good mood, joking and making everyone feel comfortable. I definitely recommend! Note : don't eat before going there :)

It has been our greatest experience in Bangkok. Ning has been wonderful with our (small, only 5 people) group, she was funny, bubbly and every other great adjectives you could think off! Everything was really well explained by her, from the market to the kitchen! Important point: THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We are so happy to bring the knowledge home thanks to the cooking book they gave us 🫶🏼 We HIGHLY recommend this course 😊 Thank you again Ning and your team !

Nous avons passé 4 heures riches en découvertes visuelles, gustatives et olfactives. Nam est un enseignant hors pair, qui a su nous guider à travers les dédales d'un marché typique où nous avons acheté une partie des ingrédients que nous avons ensuite cuisinés sous sa direction bienveillante et enthousiaste. On alterne entre préparation et dégustation de quatre plats différents dans un décor accueillant et agencé avec goût. Un incontournable de Bangkok!

I absolutely loved this class. My friend and I loved it. Would recommend taking this class

What a perfect way to spend the day, visiting the local markets and learning to cook authentic Thai food from SCRATCH like literally milking coconuts and adding local ingredients that are not ready-made with a fun group and a great chef and mentor (Nan), we had such a wonderful time and the food we made ourselves was so delicious made us think we could open our own restaurant. Definitely would recommend anyone who wants to have a unique experience outside the normal activities in Bangkok. 10/10.

We had a range of cooking skills from very good cooks like my wife through the range to me who is a complete novice. This was after 7 days in Bangkok the most fun day for everyone. Thank you very much! - Bro Potter and Family

We had the best time in Bangkok at this cooking class. It was lovely! If you plan on going to Bangkok, you HAVE to go to this cooking school. The teacher was amazingly funny, easy to understand, and it was such a great experience to learn how to cook Thai food. Thank you for this amazing day!

Loved this cooking class! Our teacher Gung was really friendly, helpful and had interesting anecdotes about the ingredients and cooking techniques. We made coconut milk and tamarind paste by hand, and we each got our own wok for cooking. Between meals, the staff clean up so everything is ready and prepped for your next dish. Come hungry- between the four dishes, the cost of the class is worth it for the amount of food itself! After the market tour, the class includes a short tuk tuk ride to the school. We will definitely try to cook these dishes at home!

My friend and I did a class with Naan, and it was an outstanding experience! I highly recommend this class to anyone - no matter what cooking experience you may have. Naan is fun and knowledgeable and is the perfect guide for learning how to cook Thai food. The house is beautiful and the way the food preparation - cooking - eating areas are set up makes for a seamless experience. The team's attention to detail and eye for presentation adds to the experience and fills you with delight!

We enjoyed the cooking class very much. Nam was a very good teacher, and we learned a lot and the food was very good. I would book it again and again. Thank you for that experience.

Before I also tried another cooking class in Bangkok but in comparison to this one it was just so plain. I registered for morning class, and we went to the market with our teacher Nam together. He’s very responsive and knowledgeable about everything in the market. Nam is really considerate and friendly, while cooking he also introduced us the alternatives for certain ingredients that are not so easy to find in where I live. The food turned out so good and I’m definitely going to try to recreate the dishes at home. Can only recommend this course!!

I also tried another cooking class before in Bangkok but in comparison to this one it was just so plain. I registered for morning class, and we went to the market with our teacher Nam together. He’s very responsive and knowledgeable about everything in the market. The rhythm of the class is also.

I really enjoyed the class. Nam was such a great teacher and chef. He talked to each one of us, give attention to each one of us and showed interest as well as knowledge of our country origin. The session was awesome and fun. We talked a lot, learned a lot and of course ate great food a lot. Silent moments were only when we were enjoying our food, it was so good that everyone keep digging on our own plate and forget our conversation. I highly recommend this class.

Khoun Nam is an amazing teacher! He explained a lot of things to us at the market about how to choose every item (and about Thaï food & ingredients) and described every step while cooking. Everything we cooked had an authentic taste!

Goon was an amazing instructor. She was very personable, enthusiastic, and funny. She taught me so much about Thai culture and food. The food tasted great and was amazing. I would definitely attend another one of her classes.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok, nestled within a quaint and beautifully preserved 100-year-old traditional Thai house, my culinary journey at Cookly was nothing short of magical. The charm of the venue is undeniable, instantly setting the stage for an authentic Thai cooking experience. The class was a blend of culture, cooking, and camaraderie, designed for anyone with a passion for food, from complete beginners to more seasoned cooks looking to add Thai dishes to their repertoire. The highlight for me, aside from the mouth-watering dishes we prepared, was the sheer joy of sharing this experience with other couples, including my date. There’s something about cooking together that creates an unforgettable bond, and Cookly certainly fosters this beautifully. Our adventure began with a visit to a local fresh market. Our instructor was a fountain of knowledge, not just about the how, but also the why of choosing the right ingredients. This market tour was more than just a shopping trip; it was an insightful cultural immersion, peppered with tips on what to select and what to avoid to replicate the authenticity of Thai flavors at home. Back in the serene ambiance of the Thai house, we donned our aprons and got to work. The dishes we learned - Phad Thai Chicken, the ever-zesty Tom Yum, and the sweet indulgence of Mango with Sticky Rice - were taught with patient guidance and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Each recipe was a door to understanding the delicate balance of Thai cuisine, and our instructor ensured everyone was engaged and enjoying the process. The class was conducted in a relaxed yet organized manner, allowing us to savor each step of cooking, without feeling rushed. Laughter was as much a part of the process as the cooking itself, making the class not just educational but genuinely fun. The cherry on top was the recipe book provided to us at the end. Not just a collection of recipes, it included beautiful photos of the dishes we created, serving as both a souvenir and a practical guide for when we try these recipes at home. In conclusion, whether you’re a curious tourist, a budding chef, or simply a food lover seeking a fun day out, Cookly’s Thai cooking class is a treat for the senses. It was an experience that exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to dip their toes into the rich waters of Thai cuisine.

We've joined the morning class with a visit to the local market. Nam really took his time to passionately explain all the ingredients and adapted to me as a vegetarian as well. The preparation of the dishes was smooth and very well organized, the team was amazing! I really enjoyed making Thai food from scratch and discovering more ingredients and spices. In the end, we received all the recipes in a little book to cook at home. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It packed half-a-day that was both interesting and entertaining, but most of all delicious! Nan was a fabulous guide around the market and teacher-chef and I was so pleased with how the dishes turned out, and will definitely be trying them at home. Shout out to the rest of the team who also worked so hard behind the scenes preparing everything so the experience was seamless and packed into the 4 hours. Thank you!

Abbiamo partecipato alla classe di cucina durante la mattina. La nostra insegnante è stata Nam, ed ha veramente reso l’esperienza perfetta. La prima parte si compone della spesa al mercato di quartiere, abbiamo adorato questa parte soprattutto l’entusiasmo di Nam nello spiegarci le cose. La secondo parte si svolge nella scuola, che è immersa nel quartiere e la sensazione è di essere a casa di un local. Abbiamo cucinato il Tom Yum, una zuppa pazzesca, il Pad Thai (non siamo più riusciti a mangiarne altri per quanto era buono!), il pollo al curry e mango e sticky rice. Tutto era buonissimo e Nam ci ha spiegato tutti gli ingredienti e le preparazioni nei più piccoli dettagli, facendoci entrare proprio all’interno delle ricette. È stato molto bello anche stare con il gruppo e condividere i pasti nel social table. Forse dalla recensione si capisce che siamo veramente molto contenti di aver partecipato 😁 Grazie ancora! Claudia e Alberto

This was the best cooking class I have ever done in my life! Starting from the market, Naan was very professional, funny, and polite. We made 4 dishes and all of them were explained to us in a great way. Also, the school is amazing. Everything is clean and already set up for us. I really suggest everyone take this cooking class!

Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the lesson very much. I appreciate that they have a small class of 6 people. Hence, they can guide us effectively during the process. Nan, our teacher, is accommodating, funny, and knowledgeable. The market tour is great. It is an actual local market. Thus, there is a cultural immersion. They are highly recommended.

We were in the cooking class with my family of 5 and a Korean family of 3. Naem made it a great experience! We went to the market to buy ingredients and learned a lot about what to choose and why. The dishes were nice to prepare and cook and the taste was great. I definitely recommend this cooking school! Naem speaks very good English and has a great sense of humor.

This class was one of the highlights during our Bangkok trip. Gong was a fun and informative instructor and always made sure that everyone in the group was doing okay. It was fun to make new friends from France and Korea. The market tour was so nice and we took a Tuk Tuk to the cooking class venue. This was really nice because we were interested in the Tuk Tuks in town but hadn't tried yet being afraid of being ripped off. The food we made was the best Thai cuisine we ever had, way better than the restaurants. I think it has to do with the fresh ingredients straight from the market and the traditional way of cooking. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience, we will surely be back.

I was there with my daughter, we spend a really good time, a lot of laughs and a lot of great food. Our chef was really concerned, also about the environment as we can see at the market. I truly recommend this place, we have done a few and this time was our favorite. Thanks again for the experience. Geraldine and lily

This class is small and amazingly planned! The recipes came out delicious & surprisingly easy! Gong was amazing, knowledgeable & passionate about Thai food. Highly recommend it!

Gong was a great chef and made the entire day fun and informative. I highly recommend Siamese Cookery School while in Bangkok

Nam did a great job. It was a lot of information and tips for thai cooking. The visit to the market was such a good start in this afternoon!

What a perfect way to learn about the Thai culture, food and in an authentic setting. From the local food market shopping with chef Naan to the traditional way of preparing each dishes. We learned, laughed and ate. Thanks chef Naan for his professionalism and personal experiences we had and that was priceless. Best regards, Hong from the US Khánh from Germany

Nam was a fantastic instructor. She was engaging, knowledgeable and taught us about the ingredients and food we were eating and how they relate to broader Thai cuisine and culture. I loved how we each had our own station to prepare each dish. They cooking school also did a great job thinking of the details for the class. The food was also delicious!! I highly recommend this experience!

We started off with visiting the market, then the cooking lession. It was nice that we got to cook several dishes including dessert, like mango sticky rice.

We got to cook panang, and other several menu as well as mango sticky rice. The market was incredible too.

Last week, my wife, 9yo daughter and I had the pleasure of attending this cooking class. We have done numerous Thai cooking classes, including expensive private one, this was easily the best cooking course we have done. Excellent instructors, market tour informative and the high quality ingredients and recipes resulted in amazing food to devour! Would highly recommend, we will be back.

Naam was so great! You could see from the first moment that she loves what she is doing! I would definitely recommend to book a course including a tour on the local market, there‘s a lot to see and learn :) Thank you for an amazing afternoon !

The day we spent at the Siamese Cookery House was simply great. The teacher was funny, charming as well as really good in Eglish and explaning her cooking skills. She answered every question with excitement and tought every cooking step with passion. Everything was well organised and prepared for us. No rush at all, nobody forced us to buy some extra products or anything. I highly recommend this cooking class for everyone!

My husband and I loved the whole experience, from shopping at the market, riding the tuk tuks and eating our own cooking creations. Nan was our teacher chef and she showed us how to buy quality ingredients at the market and prepare them for cooking. There was enough food for a meal. Loved that they had a different menu each day. Nan truly loves her job and cares for each of us. Very clean. Make sure to add this experience to your next stop in Bangkok.

Both the market tour and the cooking class were fantastic and educational for the fundamentals of Thai cooking. Chef Nam took her time explaining the layering of flavors that are integral to Thai cooking and showed us all that the local markets have to offer. She took the time to make sure we knew where we could stock up on ingredients and exactly what to look for. We were all blown away by the food and are eager to make more when we get home! Can’t recommend this class highly enough!

.

Thus was so much fun. Walking the markets was great. Such an eye-opening experience for us Westerners. Our instructor was the best! She made it so much fun.

We highly recommend this cooking class. It was a lot of fun and very interesting! We are thankful for this experience and wish you all the best!

a good local market tour, teacher is nice and funny, such a good experience

Nam greeted our group at a central subway station and from the first moment made everyone comfortable and excited to be there. The market tour was wondrous, and Nam showed us the best way to choose ingredients, pointed out new and Interesting products, and kept the tour fun and efficient. We then went back to her house, where everything was perfectly organized and set up for us to learn, prepare and enjoy 4 traditional Thai dishes. Her engaging humor (spoken in excellent English) coupled with insightful tips and facts about Ingradients and dishes made the afternoon go quickly and most of us didn't want it to end. Each of the 4 dishes we prepared and ate were outstanding! We were almost too full to bother with dinner later that day. We would highly recommend this addition to any Bangkok itinerary.

Beautifull afternoon, first went to market, we learned a lot about all the things we need to cook. Our teacher Naham was so lovely and funny. We made 4 dishes and they all tasted very good:)

Amazing teacher and location

We did enjoy a lot. Recommend to everyone, perfectly organised, good vibes and lots of fun

This was the third cooking class I attended in Thailand and it was simply excellent. I had been afraid that I wouldn’t learn a lot of new things but the contrary was the case. It was also a lot of fun! We were picked up by Goong and Nam and went to the most amazing market. That alone made the class worthwhile. But on top of that Goong was full of knowledge about culture and cooking and her sparkling and funny nature made it a sheer joy to listen to her. The cooking instructions were easy to understand and backed up with loads of background knowledge. The quality of the food was fantastic. I can’t recommend this class enough! Thank you for a fantastic time! I’ll be back for sure.

Me and my girlfriend were in Bangkok and our Main Focus was the Food, since bangkoks streetfood is so renomated. And the best Food we ate we cooked ourselves thanks to Nam. A wonderful evening. Thank you.

Our family of 5 (including 3 kids ages 9 to 14) booked a group cooking class for the final day of our holiday and I can honestly say this was the highlight of our entire 3-week Thailand trip for everyone. Nam was warm, funny and a brilliant teacher. The market trip was a highlight and the pace and variety of the class worked perfectly for our varied group. We had originally wanted to book a private class as we didn’t want our kids to spoil anyone else’s experience but as this wasn’t available, we booked the group session. I’m so pleased we did - the other guests were lovely and interesting and just added to our experience. Each dish was delicious, we learned so much and even our very teenage 14-year old son was completely engaged from start to finish. He is now a convert to cooking and enthusiastically talking about what he is going to make for us when we get home. The house is beautiful and a real experience of authentic, residential Bangkok. All-in-all an experience of a lifetime: thank you so much Nam and all at Bangkok cookery house.

If you're looking for a truly immersive cultural experience with people who deeply care for their craft and their culture then you can stop searching now. Nam met our group of 5 at an easy to find location near a beautiful authentic market. We walked through the stalls picking up this and that ingredients, amazing things I never would have touched or smelled if it wasn't for her guidance. Next we went took a 5 minute Tuk Tuk ride with our fresh ingredients to their home which was laid out beautifully for our group with a prep area, a cooking area with many wok's and stoves and finally a stunning dining area. We cooked and chatted and ate for the next 3 hours. All departed with big smiles and full bellies. Highly recommended!!
