11 October 20182373 views0

Welcome to the vibrant Silom district of Bangkok to discover a mysterious place in the capital: the Silom Thai Cooking School, a gastronomic school that offers interactive and unforgettable cooking classes to those who visits.

Between department stores and street foods

Between two winding streets in the Silom Cooking School, at the address below:

68 Trok Waiti Alley, Khwang Silom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500

Initially somewhat difficult to find. However, you can plan 5 to 10 minutes in advance to be sure of arriving on time. If you travel by BTS Skytrain, get off at Surasak station and walk from there.

Cultural and gastronomic learning

The Silom Thai Cooking School allows you to learn as much about the local gastronomic culture but offers information and secrets about Thai food/culture as well. Thus, you will learn the names of the ingredients used, their origin and everything is done in a relaxed and friendly environment. Sitting on the floor in a circle, you can test the ingredients one by one, taste them, touch them, smell them. Beyond the kitchen itself, this course allows you to discover the secrets.

A 5-course feast

An advice? … Do not eat too much before going to the cooking class. Each course has 5 dishes to enjoy at the rate of preparation. So, plan a rather hollow stomach to better appreciate the local flavours!

Prepared dishes vary according to the time and day choose: everyone chooses the day and the menu that they desire. The number of people attending the course is limited to 9 or 10 people, which allows enjoying a real moment of conviviality.

With a warm welcome, the opportunity to ask questions and impeccable English, the place is ideal for conversing with locals and meeting people. Sharing your love for food is an art! You will leave with memories, also with a very special mini-cookbook provided by Silom Thai Cooking School, to reiterate the experiences of Phad Thai, curry and other delicacies directly at home!
