Which workshop to choose
| Workshop | Who it suits | Usual length | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thai cooking with market visit | Couples, friends, families | Half a day | The most booked; you pick the menu, a meal is usually included |
| Fruit and vegetable carving | Couples, friends | 1 to 2 h | Short, a good add-on to another plan |
| Perfume, soap, candles | Couples, groups of friends | 2 to 3 h | You leave with what you made |
| Pottery, batik, crafts | Friends, children from the stated age | 2 to 4 h | Wear clothes that can get dirty |
Couples, friends, kids
- Couples: a cooking class for two (cook side by side, eat together) or a perfume workshop.
- Friends: group cooking is also a way to meet other travellers; see making friends in Bangkok.
- With kids: check each school's minimum age and favour short workshops; see Bangkok with children.
Booking well
- Check what is included: meal, recipes, transfer, aprons.
- Book at least the day before, several days ahead in high season.
- Report special diets (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free) when booking.
- Compare schools in Thai cooking classes in Bangkok.
