    A great epicurean experience! We hit all the basics to make almost every Thai dish starting with red and green curry pastes. We learned some cooking tricks that will definitely be incorporated into our prep. The owner, Ponlee, and staff are lovely. Best of all, she accommodated my need for gluten free cooking.

    I had an amazing time doing a vegan Thai cooking course! The ladies were so lovely, the food was delicious, and we had a lot of fun 😄 I highly recommend it ☺️ They have another restaurant May Kaidee's Thai Vegetarian in Chiang Mai which does amazing food and cooking courses too 😋

    Amazing experience that teaches you all the basics of Thai food in one class. I was doing it all wrong! The food comes out delicious and is simple to prepare. I replicated the recipes at home and they are perfect every time. Thanks so much for this special and personal experience! Best activity to do in Bangkok

    Amazing experience. Cooking several typical thai dishes in a great authentical environment. You also receive a recipe booklet with all information for you to reproduce the dishes at home. May and her staff are super professional and friendly. Everything is well prepared and explained. I can only recommend it!

    The place to go if you want to emerge yourself in the Thai kitchen. We did a vegan morning cooking class which exceeded every expectation. Pon was an amazing host and the class was full of surprises. Make sure you come hungry, especially for the morning class!

    My partner and I did the morning cooking class here - it was so much fun and we made so many delicious dishes. We got given a recipe booklet to take away and I can’t wait to recreate the feast at home. Definitely arrive hungry - do not eat breakfast! Thankfully we were able to take home what we couldn’t manage to eat. The staff were amazing - really friendly, patient and taught us a lot. Would highly recommend! Thank you for such a fun morning!

    Loved the class! The lovely teacher gives you all the information you need to cook it there and at home later. The food was delicious and I was full by the end! Very close to my hostel and had some friends join me. Great way to feel more connected to the Thai culture.

    This was a last minute booking and the best cooking class experience, totally worth the price for how much delicious food you get to cook and eat. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the I canot say enough the food was delish. Only a 10 min walk from Khaosan road. Highly recommended!

    We enjoyed an amazing afternoon with Pon at her cooking school! We learned with her how to make 4 amazing vegetarian meals that were more delicious than anything we have ever tasted in all our visit to Thailand. Extraordinarily delicious cooking full of rich flavors accompanied by Pon's exuberant personality. Can't recommend this experience highly enough. It was the gastronomic highlight of our stay in Thailand.

    Unbelievable delicious meals! Perfect tastes, good portions, quiet area, reasonable prices. Everything is provided to make you feel good :-)

    Amazing cooking class. Efficient and effective. All ingredients are pre-prepared so you only focus on the physical cooking process. The teacher gave comprehensive explanations on when to know the dish is good so we wouldn't need to follow the recipe. Each dish we prepared was so good, it really increased our appreciation of Thai cuisine. Teacher Ponlee is super entertaining and made the class enjoyable. We were laughing the entire class.

    Thank you Pon Lee for such a wonderful cooking experience! We took away concepts we can apply at home. It was a joy to learn from you. My mom and I took the afternoon cooking class and booked directly through the May Kaydee website. You can stop anytime for delicious vegan food!

    We had a cooking class for the family including our 7 years old daughter. I’d like to thank Ponglee and her team for providing such a great experience! The atmosphere was friendly. We cooked a lot, and everything was tasty. It’s not easy to have a kid in a kitchen, but our host kept everyone engaged in the cooking regardless of age. 🙏🙏🙏

    We ate here one evening. Cooking school looked good but it said restaurant and we wandered by one evening and were welcomed in and warmly greeted to be able to eat. We also helped cook our first two dishes, well we stirred or grated vegetables...which my wife and I loved too. Lovely food and lovely people, good price too. Really recommended. May yet eat there again this week!

    Perfect intro to Thai cooking, and a lot of fun. Pon is the best host and teacher you could ask for! We had a great time learning several delicious recipes. The class seems appropriate if you have *any* cooking experience at all. Excellent restaurant as well. Can't recommend highly enough!

    The morning my good friend Scott and I we spent cooking with Pon was probably my favorite from our entire visit in Bangkok! What a delight to join her first for a market tour (where she's clearly a celebrity — so many friends to say hi to!) and then to craft so many different traditional meals! My favorite was creating the red curry paste from scratch in the mortar and pestle! The food we made was among the best we'd eaten all week, and she easily accommodated me as a vegetarian. Would highly recommend folks jump into a class with her! Kudos!

    First it's important to note that although Green Garden Cooking School website is in French they definitely do classes in English. Just send them an email to ask about available dates. We had a delightful morning with Pon, her son Oo and aunties. The class is held in Pon's home in a small street not far from the river in the old city area. Easy to find by tuktuk or walking. We were staying about 10-15min walk away so it was a very relaxing start for us. The class begins with a trip to the local market (Thewet) which is a wet market - fresh produce, veggies, fruit, fish, meat etc. It's not hectic at all - the local people shopping - and Pon knows mostly everyone. Then back to Pon's house to prepare the dishes. We cooked 2 different kinds of soups, 2 curries, made a green curry paste, spring rolls and a dessert. We also asked to make Som Tum as we have become addicted to it while in Thailand! Pon prepares all the veg & other ingredients in advance so the emphasis is on how easy it is to make the deliciousness come together quickly. And before you know it you're eating a fab dish. So don't eat too much before you come otherwise you won't fit it all in! This is a unique experience because you are in a down to earth, happy family home that doubles as a home stay and pop up restaurant. There are family and friends coming & going all through the class and a constant stream of chatting & laughter. Pon and her family have much they are pleased to share about food & Thai life in general so it isn't simply a cooking class. It is a lot more - an experience with heart & soul. Sanuk maak maak :) Ps Pon can make her classes vegetarian or vegan on request.

    What an amazing lifetime experience! I found this place through Google Maps and after reading the reviews I emailed the cooking school. They responded quickly and informed me about their different cooking classes. I took the express class for 1000 Baht, without visiting the market. Luckily the ‘mise en place’ was done on forehand which made it easier for me and the other 2 students to cook al recipes within the timeframe of 2 hours. I recommend everyone to go there. Pon is a fantastic chef with a charismatic personality.

    The whole experience is so enjoyable for me and my family (maybe the best we had in Bangkok). The environment is cosy in a real family living setting. Got a real touch of Thai family backyard kitchen. The owner is warm and passionate in food. The tranquil and peaceful Thai life made me feel like moving to live there :) Another great experience was the local market visit with Tuk-Tuk. Kids simply love it. Got a chance to mix with friendly local people and listen to the melodic Thai way of selling at the market. Korp Kun (Thank you)!
