Fantastic experience - Absolutely amazing experience. Easy steps to follow and great host (pimmy). This is a must if you are in Bangkok. The market tour was a great start and we made some brilliant food and will take the lessons learnt home with us.

Lots of FUN! - It was my first cooking class overseas. I had such a WONDERFUL time! I LOVE Thai food, which is one of the reasons my husband & I decided to vacation in Thailand. It was only logical for me to take a cooking class. The school was a short walking distance to a local open food market, which made it very convenient. The instructor was very thorough in showing us the different Thai produce & spices & how they differed from those in our home countries; she even explained how to differentiate between fresh & not so fresh seafood. The instructor & her helpers were very kind & had prepped many of the ingredients, but they taught us how to properly mash the chili peppers with the mortar & pestle, chop the lemon grass & galangal, etc. Thai cooking uses different parts of the spices, like the root of the coriander. It was loads of FUN & I learned a lot. The students were all very friendly, as we were all there to have a good time & the food turned out really YUMMY!! I found out later when I was telling my friend back in California about the class, she said the Pink Chili class was a good bargain in comparison to the ones offered by the hotels!

Best Thai experience in bangkok - Had a truly amazing time, the hostess took us to the local market firstly to sample the ingredients we would be using for the cooking and then step-by-step we learnt how to make 3 separate Thai dishes. Highly recommend!

Thaï food cooking can be a lot of fun! - Really nice afternoon cooking and learning a lot about Thai cuisine. We had a lot of fun, being a small group of 5 and having at least 3 or 4 persons helping us out. The recipes were fantastic and I can’t wait to go back home to try them out by myself. The only thing I would change is the start time of the afternoon class from 2 pm to 3 pm. Since we ate what we had cooked, we ended up eating a big meal at around 4:30-5:00 pm, which is a bit too early. Most of us could not finish our meals, which probably ended up in the garbage.

Great learning experience! - We had a great time doing a variety of activities, with a mix of learning, preparing ingredients and cooking. We also got to know some other travellers which was fun. We started with a trip to the market where our host explained the different types of herbs and how to use each. We had 10 minutes time to explore the market afterwards. We prepared 4 different dishes on the day. For the ones we didn't prepare ourselves (such as the sticky rice, which takes very long), our host explained the process in detail and gave us the recipes so we can replicate dishes ourselves at home. We spent most of the cooking time preparing our vegetables and herbs and grinding our chilli paste to use in a curry chicken dish. It was also great to experience first-hand how simple it is to make an amazing dish like tom yum soup. The kitchen part (stir frying the various ingredients) was fun and didn't take too long, note that this room didn't have air conditioning and so was very hot! Overall a 5/5 experience and strongly recommended.

Pink Chili Didn’t Disappoint - Fun experience. The four star is because it was difficult at times to understand our leader and bowls that are cracked really should be replaced instead of being used.

Food Experience - Character Building - During one of our recent trips, I booked a cooking class through Klook without realizing that children were not allowed. It would be helpful if the app could include an option to specify whether the class is suitable for kids. Additionally, I felt that the teaching style of the instructor was more suited to a Western Caucasian audience rather than Canadians of Chinese descent like ourselves. Upon arrival, it would have been preferable if the instructor had taken aside the adults to inform us about the no kids policy, rather than mentioning it in front of the children. This way, the children wouldn't have been left with the impression that they weren't welcome. Furthermore, my husband had no intention of attending, as he had not signed up for the cooking session himself. He became disgruntled when he learned about the no kids policy, and a disagreement ensued between him, parent of another child, and the instructor. Considering it was my child's birthday the following day, I didn't think asking us to leave was a fair solution after an hour into the class when kids are curious and hand questions about the methodology and ingredient. While I understand that options like visiting the aquarium or the water park are available for entertainment, experiencing daily life and cultural activities is also important. Despite the initial setbacks, we managed to complete the course. However, I felt that the instructor lacked enthusiasm in teaching the finer details. Children have a lot to gain from learning about the history and culture behind the food they prepare. It would have been great if the instructor had shared more of this information. It's unfortunate that the instructor seemed unhappy from the start but improved towards the end. Nevertheless, when faced with a challenging situation during our travels, it's important to make the best of it. By finishing the course, we demonstrated our genuine desire to learn and complete what we started. I hope the instructor's issues were unrelated to our experience, and I genuinely wish them the best in their future endeavors.
