Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Morning classes (09:30–13:30) are ideal for avoiding Bangkok's afternoon heat and crowds, offering a fresher market experience. The school operates year-round, but weekdays tend to be quieter than weekends, especially outside Thai school holidays. Plan for slightly cooler indoor cooking environment compared to Silom's humid outdoors.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture vibrant market ingredients under natural morning light before 11:00 for the best colour saturation
Photography is encouraged during cooking and plating, but avoid flash near the kitchen station
Take your final dish photo before lunch — natural light from the dining area windows works well

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Always use your right hand or both hands when passing or receiving items — the left hand is considered unclean in Thai culture Remove shoes before entering any domestic-style kitchen or living space, though most cooking classes use open-style areas Tipping is optional but appreciated if your instructor provided exceptional service

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

During Thai festivals like Songkran (mid-April) and Loy Krathong (November), the school sometimes hosts themed class menus celebrating regional specialities
Year-round, the menu rotates seasonally based on local ingredient availability — try to book early for guaranteed access to your preferred dishes

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Kitchen surfaces and knives are shared — pay close attention during demonstration and ask for help when handling sharp tools
Thai ingredients like chillies may cause irritation — notify your instructor if you have sensitive skin or allergies
The kitchen is well-ventilated, but those with respiratory sensitivities may want to bring light masks during spice demos
