Amazing cooking class, Pimmy is so great, and the food was SO tasty. I can't recommend highly enough going to this class!
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.
The staff was so good. Pimmy the lead teacher was funny and very informative. The meal was great. It was fun to prepare the ingredients and cook and the helpful staff made it easy for me. The market was a great addition. I learned a lot!
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.
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!
