How can you get closer to the locals when visiting Bangkok? Learning to cook Thai food might be one of the best choices.

To cater to the growing number of travelers who love Thai cuisine, many cooking schools have sprung up in Bangkok. These schools offer full English instruction and can arrange for students to learn about spices in just one day, and prepare more than four Thai dishes, including soups, main courses, and desserts.

China Airlines noted that since 2008, its premium travel service has partnered with cooking schools to offer add-on cooking class experiences. Initially, only 10–20 customers opted for the program each year, but over the past three years, the number has surged to hundreds, showing increasing popularity. BAIPAI THAI COOKING SCHOOL, located in the suburbs of Bangkok, is set in a spacious garden complete with a small pond lined with various herbs and spices—students’ first task is to familiarize themselves with these ingredients. Thai cuisine uses a wide and diverse array of spices, and instructors explain that students will first learn to identify at least two types and understand how they’re used, forming the basic foundation of Thai cooking.
