On a Bangkok layover with no great desire to launch myself into the hustle of the city, I made a last minute decision to book a Pink Chili Thai cooking... read more class. My late afternoon emails were answered very promptly with exact details of price, taxi...More

  We had a great time at this class. Our teacher was approachable and gave clear instructions. It was nice to meet other travellers interested in cooking too.

It... read more was so great to see the fresh produce on the market tour, and our instructor gave us some tips for alternatives when back home, as some ingredients will be tricky to find.

The meals we produced were tasty too, and I will repeat some of them at home.

  My friends and I took the Pink Chili Thai cooking class while visiting Bangkok. It was absolutely fabulous and Pimmy was the perfect tutor. We met up at the On... read more Nut Station and went to the local market. Pimmy explained all the local ingredients to be used in our recipes, including handling the shrimps to determine which ones were fresh, the different herbs we would be using and fresh fish on the run.

Then we went to a perfectly prepared and spotlessly clean kitchen where she had all the notes and recipes prepared. It was hands on cooking and Pimmy and her group taught us all the techniques. After we'd finished preparing the five different dishes, we got to eat all the food that we cooked, which was fantastic. My favorite was the chicken with cashews. I’m definitely cooking that Recipe since all the recipes were made available in a take away pamphlet. A great value for the money and a new adventure to include on every single vacation, local cuisine cooking. I can't recommend Pink Chilli highly enough!

  Morning cooking class which started with a market shopping tour. To be honest, I would have preferred to skip this part since it was upsetting to see some of the... read more live animals (turtles) sold at the market for food. That, however, had nothing to do with the cooking class and after we left the market the rest of the morning was excellent. A big thank you to the three ladies in the kitchen who cleaned utensils and ingredients so we got only the easy part: assembling and frying the food.

  We absolutely loved this class! We came to Thailand on our honeymoon and my husband loves to cook so this was the perfect experience for us. It was awesome going... read more to the market before the class and getting to see where everything comes from. The cooking class was so much fun and great for any level of cooking skills! If we ever come back to Thailand we will for sure do it again!

  What an experience! I would have paid the course fee to eat that meal we prepared at a top restaurant. It was fabulous. Plus we had a tour of the... read more local market and a crash course on what’s what and what to buy. It was very interesting. There were three other couples and everyone could speak English. We prepared some essential elements first, ie curry paste and then went on to make three dishes: Paneang Curry, Papaya Salad and Fried Shrimp with Tamarind Sauce. We were shown how to prepared and cook sticky rice and later had that too. All in all a brilliant experience and well with it. Thank you Pimi. Soner & Sue (UK).

  The class was very informative and lots of fun in a relaxed atmosphere. I have cooked a number of the recipes at home and they were very successful.

  Great experience. Enjoyed the trip to the market learning about the different things we don't see in the states. Step by step instructions and hands on learning. Ate what... read more we cooked, which was more than enough and we were given the recipes. Can't wait to...More

  The tour was very fun and informative. It is very exciting to make your own curry from fresh herbs, cutting and grinding by yourselves! It greatly exceeded my expectation. I... read more did it with my family and it is just a fantastic way to enjoy the Bangkok vacation. Definitely recommend
