 was awesome. The place is really cozy and Kung (the teacher) is lovely and a wonderful cook. We enjoyed a lot.
What a great experience. Nam was such a fun and loving instructor who made the entire afternoon a wonder for all of us. I hardly write any reviews on anything but my experience at the Siamese Cookery was so good I felt compelled to share my experience. If you are visiting Bangkok and enjoy Thai food do yourself a favor and book a class with Nam at the Siamese Cookery.
This class was a really great experience. The school was warm, welcoming, and clean. Everyone was as knowledgeable and friendly as can be. Can’t recommend it more highly. Sign up for a class!
"4 Thai dishes and a world of food knowledge"
Goong and Nam met us and the 6 other cooking students with empty baskets for our purchases and a bottle of water, for it´s already 90 degrees at 9:05 and sweat is beading in my eyes as we head off to the market. Goong (which means shrimp) was our instructor whom was so excited to show us the 3 basils, the lemon thyme which she breaks in half and twists for the aroma, fermented eggs, how to use chicken feet to improve our skin tone, how to choose the best shrimp by looking for the natural curl and leaving the older straighter and thus older shrimps for the next person. Her knowledge of vegetables, 20 types of rice growing throughout Thailand, and spices is shared with absolute joy. Siamese Cookery House is an organized school and 3 tuktuks are waiting after our shopping spree to take us back to the school. In the school house, we sit on Thai pillows and smell, taste, and prepare the kaffir Iime leaves by folding the double leaf in half like a butterfly and discarding the stem, the galangal garlic is sliced thin, and the coriander roots smashed. There are 8 separate burners, so while Goong talks us through each step, she also cajoles each of us into thinking our Tom Yum Goong soup is the best. It’s simply fabulous. She is a remarkable teacher able to laugh and tease while teaching us to prepare four Thai dishes. After the Tom Yum Goong soup, we each make our own Pad Thai, followed by red Massaman Curry Paste, Sticky rice with mango and sweet coconut sauce. We are stuffed by 1pm and are rolling out of her cool school, back into the hot humid air.
We had a wonderful time with Nam at the Siamese Cookery school. She met us with a refreshing bottle of water as we headed out for shopping at the local market. Nam was great at explaining the various types of produce and meats/seafood available. She explained how some products were prepared, how to choose the freshest ingredients and showed us so many exotics fruits and vegetables. What a great experience. We then headed by tuk tuk to the school for preparing and cooking our 4-course meal. She made the whole process seem so easy. It was so much fun preparing the ingredients and then cooking and eating the wonderful results. The final product was some of the best Thai food I have ever had! The Tom Yum Gai was delicious, the Pad Thai fantastic, the massaman chicken delectable, and the Sticky Rice with mango yummy. I would highly recommend this whole cooking experience. It was a wonderful place with great people!
I personally think that the staff and teachers can either make or break the class. I was very impressed how fun they were to work with. Great people, great food, and great market tour.
"Fun & informative. I would definitely recommend."
Instructor was very knowledgeable and made class so fun. I also love the local market tour. Thailand has so many exotic ingredients which I want to take home.
"Awesome and detailed class"
Our cook and guide, was very knowledgeable about the various ingredients used, and she spoke really good English. She was chatty and that made the entire class a breeze. Food wise, it was delicious and I couldn't believe I made that! Overall I highly recommend the class, it gives you an insight into Thai culture and cuisine.
I had so much fun learning to cook Thai food at Siamese Cookery House. The Chefs here are nice and very knowledgeable. My Chef I believe was the owner. She speaks English very well which made it very easy to listen and learn. She teaches more than just cooking. She explains the "why's" of cooking which I found important. She will tell you why the ingredients goes well and why we use it. Overall a great experience and highly recommended. I can't wait to attempt to cook back home what I learned.
"The best way to learn about Thai cuisine"
We had a very good time at the market and the Siamese Cookery. We had the chance to hand select the ingredients for our dishes and got a lot of insider knowledge from Nam on top. The cooking was also great, we made everything from scratch and everyone had his own workspace to create his/her dishes. I would definitely recommend to do your cooking course here, the incredible welcoming and experienced staff made the cooking course one of a kind!
Good teacher, Good food, Good place, so fun!!
"One of the most enjoyable moments in Bangkok"
The class was good, and the teachers were kind and pleasant. It was an interesting experience to touch and buy materials directly in the market. The classes were organized, and I was full and happy to continue eating in the middle. If I went to Bangkok, I wanted to take part in it again.
I had a wonderful time walking through the market and learning about how to choose fresh ingredients for recipes I have never tried cooking before. I feel as though I can recreate these recipes because they were fairly easy to make and I now have a cookbook to follow on my own!
It is located in a local market, which means that it is not that dangerous area at night! The staff are so friendly and the teacher is just so nice! The food were nice too. The only one thing that you need to have empty stomach!
Very nice experience especially the market tour the instructor was very good explained a lot about spices and thai food. Shopping, cooking and eating was just wonderful experience.
"Special experience in Bangkok"
The class was very good and fun. They went out of their way to accommodate us and the food was fantastic. Highly recommended.
Oh man...so good! Chef Non knows his cooking business very well, plus he's hilarious guy. Starting from the (must-see) market tour, which is half the experience, and ending on the cooking class organization, everything went just perfect. Ah! And the food was just delicious..
"Unforgettable experience in Thailand"
This is our first time to learn transitional Thailand food. The class is fun and the teacher is good. We really enjoy the class and will recommend people to join too.
"Very good and fun family experience"
Thank you, Goong, for a really great evening with lots of cooking and laughing and enjoying the wonderful food.
"Fun and friendly teachers"
Hello I am a Korean who was celebrating Thanksgiving. My first visit to Bangkok I like Bangkok food. I was wondering how I had a very good time meeting with Mr. Nam and Mr. I would like to come back if I visit Bangkok again next time.

"a 360 degree experience"
"100% would recommend!"
This class was the highlight of our trip to Bangkok! The instructors were so friendly and funny and spoke English very well. They guided us through the market and explained all the food items that we needed and told us how to pick out the best ones. We then took a fun Tuk Tuk to the cooking school which was very clean and cute. They were excellent instructors and making the food was easy and so fun! Not to mention so delicious and fresh. This is absolutely worth your money and I would come back again in a heartbeat! We absolutely loved taking this class.
Wir haben einen großartigen Vormittag mit Naam verbracht. Sie beantwortete alle unsere Fragen in perfektem Englisch, war super sympathisch und offen. Auch
