Bangkok Cooking Class with Market Visit & Tuk Tuk Ride

Sabieng Thai Cooking School runs two sessions a day in central Bangkok, meeting between 8.30 and 8.40am for the morning class and between 1.30 and 1.40pm for the afternoon one. Both meet at MRT QSNCC exit 1 (Sabieng sends exact instructions through Viator’s messaging after booking), then a stop at what the school calls the city’s largest fresh market before a tuktuk ride back to the kitchen. Arrive more than 10 minutes late and the market stop gets cut; you’d meet the group directly at the school instead. Groups stay small, up to 12 people.

The class is taught by a third-generation instructor from a family with a background in professional culinary arts; the school’s own description credits time at a Michelin-starred restaurant and recipe work alongside a Master Chef Thailand titleholder. The menu runs to five dishes: green papaya salad to start, tom yum goong, pad thai, a choice of green curry chicken or massaman curry chicken, and mango with sticky rice to finish. You cook each dish yourself and eat it as you go rather than at the end.

Insider Tip: the tuktuk ride from the market to the school is part of the booking, so there’s no fare to sort out between the two.

Watch out: this booking is final sale. There’s no refund for a late cancellation or a no-show, so lock in a session you’re confident you can make.

Bangkok has another market-and-cooking class worth comparing if the final-sale terms here give pause. Tingly Thai Cooking School’s morning market class covers similar ground with a larger group and a standard 24-hour cancellation window.
