Baipai Thai Cooking School Class in Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

There is no better way to learn authentic Thai cooking than taking an authentic cooking class in Thailand. You don't need prior cooking skills - just a love for eating Thai food!

This half-day cooking class will introduce you to the wonderful world of Thai flavors allowing you to take your knowledge home with you so you can make authentic Thai dishes back home in your own kitchen.

Your class will be held at The Baipai Thai Cooking School, an ideal home-style learning environment that aims at cooking a style of Thai food that is different from most of the hotels and restaurants in Thailand. Spend the morning learning to prepare 4 authentic Thai dishes. During all classes, the school's instructional emphasis is always focused on the same three things: traditional Thai technique, innovative use of ingredients, and aesthetic presentation. You will be guided by professional teaching staff who possess years of experience in this specialized area of Thai culinary delights! They are as enthusiastic about Thai food as they are sharing their knowledge with you.

All classes are conducted in English and are a "hands on.' This is an experience not be missed.

This was the best of the activities we signed up for in Bangkok, and I highly recommend it! The staff were very nice and friendly, and all three dishes we made were delicious. We also got nice recipe books at the end of the class which we took home so we can make these dishes again at home.

Fun time cooking

Review by:   Emily A T,    July 2017
This was absolutely the best cooking class I've ever taken! We were shown how to prep the ingredients for each of four recipes, then we had individual stations to cook our dishes. We then sat and ate each one- an appetizer, soup, curry and dessert. Most classes I've taken, most of the prep is already done, and participants sharing the cooking of just one of the dishes. Jun and Fya showed us the ingredients growing in the garden, and gave us a great deal of detailed information about how to handle the ingredients. We received all the recipes in a handy holder. I definitely feel I can go home and replicate the dishes. _br/_ The cooking area is open air, It was fine in the morning, and there was plenty of cold water on hand to drink. But be prepared if you're sensitive to the heat.

Good cooks which made the class fun and interesting.

Review by:   Jill J,    April 2017
Loved this amazing place! The grounds and place feel like a beautiful spa getaway. Fun and informative staff. We made and ate: a beef salad, a chicken stir fry dish, pad Thai, and a dessert. Needless to say, you won and #39;t leave hungry! My 12 year old chose this activity and we all had a great time :)

Review by:   Diane C,    March 2017
Wonderful class! Our chefs, June and Eye, did an excellent job teaching us about Thai plants and herbs, techniques for using them, and helping us create our own delicious lunch. It was a truly memorable experience.

Absolutely loved it. Know that it is intended for people with little or no experience in making Thai food so do not attend if you are a chef at a famous LA restaurant chain. The tour guides were friendly, helpful, and taught basic stuff without making you feel like an utter fool in the kitchen. All the equipment was top-notch, the place was out-of-this-world, and ample times was given to make food and socialize.

Very well executed from pickup to drop off. The meals we cooked were all well planned and delicious. The cooking class was on the most beautiful scenic site and the instructors were simply lovely. They even send you photos taken during the class which is a thoughtful and gesture. I could not recommend this experience enough.

Review by:   madupree,    January 2017
Excellent tour! Great way to learn about the ingredients that goes into Thai food, the difference in the various peppers and how to safely handle them. The different herbs that change the flavor of the dish, by the intensity of the flavor, like seasoning Soy Sauce, Galangal vs Ginger, different Basil's, once you taste this, you understand what you are missing._br/_ Also this is an individual cooling class so each person prepare their dish, A group activity was grating coconut to make coconut cream._br/_ The cooking techniques apply also to all cooking, like heating pans, checking oil temperature, the thing I found I really need at home is a Wok burner._br/_ The staff was great, the setting was excellent, with garden, partially open air classroom and kitchen, excellent afternoon, fellowship, meeting new people, maybe from your home country. Different than museum or temple tour as everyone is focused on cooking and tasting the final product._br/_ To Viator, Please try to list this as a Morning and Afternoon class, I asked and did afternoon, this way you/I did a Temple tour in the morning, got back to hotel, short break and was ready for pickup for the Baipai class. With distance to the school, Bangkok traffic, and if the class runs a bit long, the afternoon session lets you do more tours, if time in Bangkok is at a premium.

Very good class. Very well organised and relaxed for the participants. Well worth the money.

So helpful and nice team!! Everything prepared according to my allergies, felt safe and had no problems afterwards. Beautiful surroundings and clockwork organized. I highly recommend this cooking class :

This was certainly one of the highlight of my Bangkok trip. The Baipai Thai Cooking School goes out of its way to give you an amazing experience. This tranquil, beautiful site feels like it and #39;s far away from the city but, in truth, it and #39;s under an hour even with notorious Bangkok traffic.

Recommended this cooking class to other people and they all LOVED it also

Review by:   kandikisses18,    November 2016
Definitely one of the highlights of my Bangkok trip, a great experience, easy to follow instructions by the Chef. I would definitely recommend.

Review by:   Rebecca W,    October 2016
Excellent facility, great instruction, and great quality food we made ourselves! Learned a lot - how to use coconut milk vs cream effectively. Also how to use lemongrass, which we have growing at home. Excited to do these recipes again at home!

Review by:   Llamaschool,    September 2016
This was fabulous. Very professional and well-organized class held in a beautiful facility with both decorative and herb gardens. Not far outside Bangkok. Great introduction to classic Thai ingredients and food prep. We made five dishes from scratch, down to shredding the coconut on a traditional 'rabbit' shredder and pounding all ingredients for the curries by hand, and were sent home with a recipe book and photographs. Would absolutely recommend, and plan to do it again with my teenage daughter on my next trip.

Review by:   Stuart C,    July 2016
Good fun and the food was delicious! Will be trying to source the right ingredients at home now we know what Thai food should taste like.

Review by:   Esther L,    July 2016
This experience was one of my highlights as a first time visitor from California. They made the whole thing so seamless minus one critique you can read about at the end from calling us at the hotel the night before for a final confirmation of time to dropping us off at our desired location. I loved the various multiple stations of activities:

Review by:   Lyndall V,    July 2016
Excellent. Very professional and fun. We had an amazing host, who made it extra special!

Review by:   Ozlem T,    July 2016
This tour was amazing!

Review by:   Rebecca B,    June 2016
They start by explaining the ingredients used from the garden, giving you a chance to sample the flavors before you start cooking with them. Very well organized and fun!

Review by:   Juhi M,    June 2016
I think this was the best thing we did in our entire stay. The house for the cooking school is beautiful and we were there on a very rainy, thunderstorm morning and still had loads of fun cooking in this indoor/outdoor venue. It is such a beautiful place to learn. The instructors are fun and informative. You can really tell they like what they do. The class had beginners and expert cooks and everyone was learning new things. I highly recommend this cooking class over others. The setting is beautiful, they take pics of you while you are cooking, and give you recipe cards to take home. Next time I am back in Bangkok I will do it again. The menus change daily. Their website is very informative.

Amazing food, amazing chef, amazing place. Just amazing!!

Review by:   Matt D,    June 2016
I cannot say enough great things about our time at the Baipai cooking school. Our host and chef were both very friendly, fun and kept us involved the whole time. They taught us a lot about Thai food and the ingredients that go in to traditional cooking. They did a great job of showing us how to make something and then have us try it right away while it was still fresh in our minds. The cookbooks were a great help and will be even better when we try to make the food for friends and family at home. This was my favorite part of our trip and has inspired me to take cooking classes everywhere else I travel in the future.

Review by:   Linnet T,    May 2016
I would not have missed this for anything. Superb experience: professionally organised and run excellent pace great choice of menu items back of house staff were unobtrusive but efficient front of house team were great. Chef and tour leader, Noi and June, were entertaining as well as very skilled and knowledgeable. Many 'wow' moments throughout the morning. Thanks to all the team!

Review by:   Kernesha W,    April 2016
Absolutely wonderful!!! We ate so much and had a wonderful time. It was definitely worth it and I will be trying all recipes!!

Review by:   Victoria N,    April 2016
My husband and I loved this tour. It was well-organized and on-time. The guide June was so friendly and fun. The food was delicious and they even did a wonderful job of providing vegan options for me.

Review by:   Hector O,    March 2016
Great cooking experience. Learning about the main ingredients allowed me to understand better while eating later in Thailand._br/_ Good recipes, good cooking and good eating.

Review by:   Patti L,    February 2016
we had a fairly small class at 6 people, we had a wonderful time learning how to cook all of the dishes. Everything was well set up and coordinated and we were very full by the end of the class.

Review by:   Catherine S,    February 2016
Fantastic day. Have even put what I learnt to the test on my return home. Well organised from beginning to end.

Review by:   John B,    January 2016
This is a really fun activity. We went for the morning class and I thought that we were going to the market together, but instead there was just an explanation of the plants in their garden. I probably didn't read the fine print. I am not experienced at all in the kitchen so, for me, the class went a little fast. They provide recipe cards so you can try to replicate the dishes once you get home.

Review by:   Howard W,    January 2016
Excellent experience - yummy and fun!!!

Review by:   Lozzahighhat,    January 2016
Really good experience, first we went to a Thai market to get the ingredients and then we made three dishes, which we then ate. The cooking school has a really nice atmosphere and the chefs were great!

Review by:   Bryan W,    December 2015
Only high praises for this tour. Class was fantastic. Made recipes easy to follow. Loved that we were able to cook and then eat our food. Short tour which is great if you want the afternoon to relax. Visiting market first was unique experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Review by:   Daniel N,    December 2015
Wonderful. This will be a highlight of your your trip. Just a lot of fun.

Review by:   Shawn S,    December 2015
I was expecting a very sterile, very up-tight, white wall and stainless steel experience. What I got was a very informative, very fun cooking experience set in a very asian themed open air, cooking suite. We were first picked up at our hotels and driven to a huge, very clean open air food wholesale market in northern Bangkok. Imagine your home grocery store without all the boxed processed stuff, but with ten times the produce and meat options. Everything looked as though it wasn't more than twelve hours old. I was envious. Here is were we met Julie, our cooking assistant. She took us on a tour while purchasing some of the key ingredients we would be using that day. Some of my fellow cooking students purchased a couple fresh fruit items to bring back to their hotels for snacking after class.

Review by:   Daniel U,    November 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Baipai Cooking School! June did a phenomenal job leading the class, and the experience to prepare our own 4-course Thai meal was such a delight. Probably the best Pad Thai we had our entire trip!

great way to meet other travellers

Great Experience! Helpful, skilled and professional Staff.

Review by:   Karina B,    September 2015
I can't rate this place highly enough. I received free air conditioned transfers to and from this hidden leafy secret, and on arrival I was taken away with how beautiful and spatious the grounds are. This cooking school looks like a five star resort or restaurant! We were welcomed with Thai iced tea, then taken around the grounds to have staple herbs/fruits/vegetables in our recipes shown and explained. Fone was incredibly knowledgeable and patient when explaining all the key ingredients and Thai cooking philosophy. Chef Noi showed us how to make coconut cream and milk from scratch. All in all, we made four courses (cashew chicken, Thai beef salad, pad Thai and for dessert ruby water chestnuts in ice coconut). Chef Noi and Fone are absolute professionals, with the support staff impressive (how did they clean and set up without us noticing?!). To remember this great half day experience, Fone took pictures the entire time and emailed them to us within hours. _br/_ Thankyou so much, I will definitely be back.
