Itinerary

Spice things up and experience Thai culture through its vibrant culinary scene. After meeting at Blue Elephant, a renowned Bangkok establishment recognized by the Michelin Guide, you’ll head out to the marketplace to pick up supplies for the day (in the case of the morning class), or get straight to business in the afternoon class. Your day begins with a theory class, in which your passionate instructor will explain the ingredients and techniques behind Thai cooking, complete with a thorough demonstration of the recipes you’ll be making. After the theory portion, don your apron and head to your station, complete with all the ingredients you’ll need, utensils, a burner, and a wok. With the guidance of acclaimed chefs, prepare your 4- or 5-course meal to perfection. Afterwards, savor the food you’ve prepared in the historic, century-old restaurant. To cap things off, you’ll take home a culinary certificate, as well as recipes for all the dishes you’ve created so you can recreate the gems of Thai cuisine at home.

I loved my cooking class at the blue elephant cooking school. I lucked out and was the only one booked for the class that afternoon so essentially I had a private lesson which was really nice. The che (Read More)f’s was very skilled and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Once they understood my love and passion for cooking they came out with little snacks and bites for me to try out and it was overall just a very nice experience. Highly recommend!

I didn't really recommend looking around the market, and I didn't drink the drinks sold on the street because they were unhygienic, but the experience at the restaurant was good. It was close to the s (Read More)tation, so it was easy to find, but crossing the nearby road is only possible at the station. , If you are going on foot, please take note and cross the street in advance. There is no crosswalk like on the highway.
