Begin your class by learning how to extract fresh coconut milk the traditional way—grating and pressing coconut by hand to unlock rich, creamy flavors. Next, you’ll pound your own green curry paste using a stone mortar and pestle, combining herbs and spices like lemongrass, galangal, and green chilies into a fragrant base that’s full of depth. Then, learn the art of steaming sticky rice to perfection, an essential step for one of Thailand’s most beloved desserts.

With these fundamentals ready, you’ll cook four classic Thai dishes: spicy and aromatic Tom Yum Goong, flavorful Pad Thai Goong, creamy Green Curry with Chicken, and sweet Mango Sticky Rice. Along the way, your chef shares stories, tips, and cultural insights to bring each dish to life.

Choose between a relaxed late morning or afternoon session to suit your travel plans. After all the cooking, gather around to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared with fellow participants in a fun, social setting. The class ends at the venue near Wat Pak Nam, leaving you inspired, satisfied, and ready to explore more of Bangkok or bring these skills home to your own kitchen.
