Consider staying at Sripanakorn Hotel or The Siam Hotel, both located in central Bangkok, just a 10-minute drive from Cooking Activity by Chef Aey. Sripanakorn Hotel offers modern Thai design, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi—ideal for travelers seeking comfort and convenience. Meanwhile, The Siam Hotel is a luxury boutique option with stunning views of the Chao Phraya River, complimentary private guides, and hotel shuttle services that make accessing the cooking class seamless.

From downtown Bangkok, use local ride-hailing apps like Grab or Bolt—the trip takes about 15 minutes, covering roughly 6 km. For a scenic and budget-friendly option, take the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, then transfer to a Chao Phraya River ferry to the nearby pier, followed by a 5-minute walk. This route not only avoids traffic but also offers breathtaking views of riverside temples and traditional wooden houses.
Many nearby hotels offer complimentary pickup services—book in advance for added convenience. Avoid peak hours (8–10 AM and 4–7 PM) to minimize delays. With GPS navigation and English signage, even first-time visitors can easily reach the venue without stress.
Chef Aey's cooking class stands out with its hands-on approach to preparing authentic Thai dishes such as Tom Yum Goong, Green Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. Each participant uses fresh local ingredients under expert guidance, mastering key techniques like spice blending, heat control, and ingredient balance.
A highlight is the market tour, where guests visit a traditional Bangkok wet market to discover essential components like fish sauce, green papaya, and lemongrass—understanding how these ingredients shape Thai flavor profiles. After cooking, participants enjoy a meal made entirely by them, receive a certification of completion, and a recipe booklet.
Some sessions include a Thai traditional attire photo shoot, allowing you to dress in elegant silk costumes and capture memorable moments. The blend of culinary education, cultural immersion, and fun makes this experience ideal for food lovers seeking genuine insight into Thai cuisine.
Bring a personal apron (available for purchase onsite), non-slip shoes (kitchen floors are often wet), and a small backpack to store personal items. Wear light, breathable clothing—avoid long sleeves or pants that may hinder movement.
All cooking utensils and ingredients are provided—no need to bring anything except yourself. If you have food allergies, inform staff in advance so they can adjust the menu accordingly. Note that the class uses chilies and strong spices; if you prefer milder options, let them know ahead of time.
The session lasts about 4 hours, including market tour, hands-on cooking, and lunch. Come well-rested and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the immersive experience.
