Baipai Thai Cooking School
8/91 Ngam Wongwan Road, Soi 54 Ladyao, Chatuchak, Bangkok, Thailand, 10900
The Baipai Thai Cooking School in Bangkok provides a unique approach to Thai cooking that differs from most other classes across Thailand. Using a hands-on teaching method, it offers a home-style learning environment and teaches dishes not usually covered by other cooking schools for tourists.
The basics
Housed in a two-story wooden house filled with plants, this cooking school features an open-plan cooking area on the lower floor plus a rustic dining room upstairs. Professional staff are on hand to guide students as they prepare, cook, (and eat!) the food they make. This school focuses on Thai techniques and innovative use of ingredients, as well as cooking skills and presentation. Potential students can pre-book classes online, with or without transportation included.
Things to know before you go
- A class at Baipai Thai Cooking School is a must for anyone who loves Thai food or cooking.
- Come with an appetite; classes include lunch or dinner.
- Meat is used and classes are held on a group basis; vegetarian travelers may prefer to book a private class.
How to get there
Baipai Thai Cooking School is located on Ngam Wongwan Road in the Chatuchak area of Bangkok. It’s about 20 minutes by car from Sukhumvit or half an hour from the Khao San Road neighborhood. The closest BTS Skytrain station is at Ha Yaek Lat Phrao, a 10-minute tuk-tuk or taxi ride away.
When to get there
Balpai Thai Cooking School is open year-round, every day except on Sundays and Thai public holidays. Both morning and afternoon classes are available and finish off with either lunch or dinner. It makes a great rainy-day destination as the cooking school is entirely indoors.
Thai Street Food
If you love Thai food, you’ll adore Bangkok’s street food scene. Here you’ll find everything from classics such as Pad Thai to sweets such as mango sticky rice. Wherever there are tourists there is street food, and neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Bang Rak are particularly good spots to try out local delights or join a food tour.
