Why Choose This Experience?
If you want to discover how to cook classic Thai dishes with a creative twist, then this is the class for you. Many cooking schools include market tours, we are actually located within Bangkok's famous Flower Market! Expique operates our own cooking school under the brand "The Market Experience", and offers a truly unique and memorable Thai Cooking Experience.
Highlights
We are located inside the Flower Market!
Our exclusive location on a balcony overlooking the flower market allows us to offer a truly unique experience. You will be cooking within the market itself! The market is one of the biggest fresh markets in Bangkok and sells flowers, fruits and vegetables. Where possible we add edible flowers to the recipes!
Market Tour
Being based in the market it means we do not have far to go! During the class we go for a short market tour and will collect some of the ingredients we will use during the class. We may pick up a snack or two as we explore.
Learn to make a classic Thai appetizer
As a warm up exercise you will practice your chopping skills as we teach you how to prepare the classic Thai appetiser known as Miang Khum. Literally this means "single bite" and it is a combination of flavors wrapped in a singe leaf.
Som Tum Masterclass
Som Tum is often known as “Papaya Salad” as it is made from papaya. We will show you how to make it from a whole range of ingredients so that you can make it at home based on the fruit & veg you have available.
Pad Thai with a Twist
We are in the flower market so like to add a few unique twists. When making a classic Pad Thai, don’t be surprised if we dye the noodles with flowers!
Classic Thai Curries
We will teach you how to make red or green curry from scratch. You will make the curry paste yourself using a pestle and mortar. The hard work will be worth it.
We serve a range of Thai drinks
During the class we will serve a range of cold drinks, made with a variety of ingredients you can find in the market.
Enjoy eating the food you made
The hard work is over. Now enjoy the food you made! We hope you will make it again at home.
