Fabulous experience
Fantastic experience!!! Fabulous cooking class and market tour (walking distance). Teacher was excellent and very entertaining. Made 5 dishes, all so delishes and received cookbook to take home. You have to do this when in Bangkok. Our son did this 5 years ago and enjoyed it very much and recommended this one. So many different cooking class options, but Silom Thai cooking school just nailed it!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing such a glowing review! We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic time at the Silom Thai Cooking Class and Market Tour. It’s wonderful that you found the teacher entertaining and enjoyed making (and tasting!) all five delicious dishes. The cookbook is such a nice touch to keep the experience alive at home! It’s even more special that this was a family recommendation passed down over the years. We're thrilled to know Silom Thai Cooking School exceeded your expectations. Happy cooking, and we hope to welcome you back in the future! 🍳🌶️🥢 Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit?
+
Included: 4 Thai Dishes at the Silom School; Learn traditional Thai food prep techniques; All Ingredients; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit?
+
By BTS: Take BTS to Chong Nonsi BTS station, Exit 3. Walk straight to Silom Road, cross the road and turn left. Then, walk straight to Soi Decho. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit offered in?
+
It is offered in Thai and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Silom Thai Cooking Experience with Market Visit if the weather is bad?
+
