Meet Rapeephan

Rapeephan discovered her love for cooking at a very young age. Growing up with working parents, she took it upon herself to cook so they could return home to something warm and comforting. This early experience sparked not only her passion for food but also her desire to pursue it professionally, leading her to attend cooking school. Today, Rapeephan enjoys sharing her skills, stories, and the joy of Thai home cooking with guests from around the world.

Pat will be your host on select days of the week. She specializes in Thai curries and stir-fried dishes. With over four years of experience teaching cooking classes, Pat is passionate about sharing her knowledge and helping guests feel confident in the kitchen. She is a mother of two who love to try different kinds of food, inspiring Pat to explore new flavors and dishes.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Market visit: (2-8 guests) Meet your host at her welcoming cooking studio in Thonburi, Bangkok, and begin your small-group authentic Thai cooking class experience. After discussing the menu for the day, hop on a short tuk-tuk ride to Wongwianyai Market for a guided local market tour. Explore this vibrant neighborhood market, learn about traditional Thai ingredients, interact with friendly vendors, and buy fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables that you’ll use in your cooking class.

Return to the studio for a hands-on Bangkok cooking class, where you’ll spend two hours learning to cook authentic Thai food. Prepare three classic Thai dishes, along with a traditional dessert and refreshing Thai tea. Your host will share expert tips and techniques to cook a traditional Thai meal that you can confidently recreate back home, with recipes provided. After cooking, sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare.

This immersive Bangkok cooking experience is perfect for travelers looking for unique things to do in Bangkok - an unforgettable way to explore the city’s culture through food.

Notes:
1. This is a small-group experience; unlike most Traveling Spoon experiences, it is not private.
2. The cooking studio is a 5-minute walk from Krung Thonburi BTS Skytrain Station - take Exit 2 on the Gold Line.
3. Lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets can be accommodated, if informed in advance.
4. Either Rapeephan or Pat will host you, depending on the date and time you choose. On days when both are unavailable, a member of their equally wonderful team will host your experience.
5. A glass of local beer is included in the price.

Not sure exactly what TripAdvisor means by the "operator" but the photos do match this particular cooking class that we had with Pat, the host/cooking class teacher. Directions to the location were clear although previewing the route with Google Maps helped additionally because it was in a small alley with no signage. Small but more than adequate space that was clean and bright, well decorated. We happened to be the only 3 people in the class that day since another party cancelled at the last minute. Pat explained she would have had a second person to help her if there were more than 5 guests. So we had a nice intimate experience. We started off with a guided market tour buying fresh ingredients. A surprise fun bonus: we were given some money to buy specific ingredients at the market, with small flash cards of what to say in Thai to the vendor! Can't tell how I bungled the pronounciation but the vendor seemed amused and knew what I meant! After returning from the market, we started food prep under Pat's guidance. Stoves were upstairs (no elevator, stairs were narrow), so we had to bring our prepped food up to cook. We each had our individual cooking stations. After placing the cooked dish onto a serving platter, we returned downstairs to eat. Water and Thai beer provided. 5 course meal prepared, eating our own creations. Pat was great providing guidance and explanations throughout. Her English was excellent too. One of our best experience in Bangkok!
