Silom Thai Cooking School with Fresh Market Tour

Class starts with a fresh-market walk near Silom, Bangkok, where the guide points out ingredients before the group moves to a three-hour cooking session covering five Thai dishes. Tom yum soup, pad Thai, som tum (green papaya salad), and mango sticky rice are named among the five; the tour listing doesn’t specify the fifth.

The school sits at 6/14 Decho Road, a short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS station (Exit 3, then straight to Silom Road, cross, and turn left onto Soi Decho) — reachable without a taxi from most central Bangkok hotels. That matters because hotel pickup and drop-off aren’t included; guests get themselves to the school. All ingredients, a printed recipe book, the market walk, and the meal itself (eat what you cook) are covered by the ticket price.

Morning and afternoon sessions include the market walk described above; the evening class skips it and goes straight into cooking, so anyone who specifically wants the market portion should book earlier in the day. The class runs in Thai and English at a 5.0 rating from 78 reviews — a smaller sample than some Bangkok cooking schools, worth weighing if review volume matters to the decision.

Insider Tip: Book a morning or afternoon slot rather than the evening one if the market walk matters to you — the evening session skips it entirely.
