The best cooking class in Bangkok!
Jasmin has been an amazing instructor: funny, helpful and kind! The recipes, facitilies and overall atmosphere has been amazing, as well as the group size. 10/10 would recommend!

A great cooking course in Bangkok
The course was very nice, the instructor Jeab was very helpful and patient. There in no need of cooking experience to take part. Highly recommended!
via Tripadvisor
Don’t miss out!!
I recommend this experience for either the seasoned traveler or novice. Learning the cuisine and its history is just the beginning. The preface of walking through the flower market only enhances the time spent while in Bangkok. Well worth the cost of admission!!
via Tripadvisor
Totally recommend!
The market tour was very instructive. Our guide and cooking instructor is so sweet and funny! My partner and I had a lot of fun cooking food and tasting lots of spices.

Absolute must do for a truly authentic cultural experience
Our cooking class at White Lotus Cooking School was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Thailand! We worked closely with Jeab to prepare amazing, signature Thai dishes, and the whole experience was as educational as it was delicious. Jeab was so much fun to learn from and taught us so many cool culinary tips and techniques, really helping us feel confident in our cooking abilities. We also loved going to the local markets with her—it was such a fun experience selecting fresh ingredients and getting a taste of authentic food culture. We left with incredible memories, newfound cooking skills, and very full bellies! If you are in Thailand, learning with Jeab is an absolute must. She is a kind soul and we will be back to see her very soon!

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 194 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour?
+
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 Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour?
+
Around 68 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour 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 Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok's Old Town with Market Tour?
