Baipai Thai Cooking School, Bangkok -
Thai cooking classes in Bangkok

The Baipai Thai Cooking School is situated at 150/12 Soi Naksuwan, Nonsee Road, Chongnonsee, Yannawa,
Bangkok 10120, THAILAND.

We visited the Baipai International Thai Cookery School in November 2007 during a morning Thai cooking class, cooking Thai food. The four hour classes cater for a maximum of ten students when fully booked. This ensures a high level of personal tuition. The truly international mix that day included people from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Spain. The students do not have to take anything with them as everything from the apron to the chilies and Thai cooking herbs are supplied at this International Thai cooking school.

It seems that there could not be a better way to learn Thai cooking than taking a Thai cooking class, taught by qualified Thai cooks. The Thai cooking courses are conducted in the English language and are fully 'hands-on', where technical information about the ingredients and cooking methods are skillfully explained, and at the end of the lesson, you get to eat what you have created!

The Thai Cooking Courses at Baipai Thai Cooking School are taught in a homely and friendly way face to face, in an airy, well equipped, kitchen classroom area, with hygiene stations and not, as you would probably imagine, in a stainless steel hotel or restaurant style steamy kitchen. The environment was very pleasant, very clean and very comfortable.

Thai cuisine is known to be one of the country's true cultural heritage subjects which has been passing down through the generations, becoming renowned internationally as one of the simplest and tastiest cuisines in the world. Managing Director, Suwan Chakchit, a keen traditional Thai cuisine buff himself, told us that he had opened the Baipai Thai Cooking School in 2002 as a result of not being able to find a good traditional Thai Cooking School to recommend to his foreign friends and expats where Thai recipes were properly and accurately taught with genuine tips and tricks of preparation, cooking and presentation.

The school teaches simply Thai cooking in modules consisting of four dishes; a full course of seven modules will take three and a half consecutive days to complete, the 'full course' consisting of seven half day modules, but from what we saw, if you just want a ‘taster’ taking one or two modules in a single day would be fun to do. The Baipai school has an upstairs dining and recreation area where there is a display of traditional Thai cooking utensils, kitchen equipment and implements, where you can select your own to buy. This is also where students meet and receive their introductory brief at the beginning of the
course.

There are plans ahead to develop a second Baipai Thai Cookery School in Bangkok for the professional chef or cook.

Recreational classes or workshops can be arranged for fruit and vegetable carving, etc. available for individual or group reservations.

The Menus for 2008: There are seven modules of different menus rotating over a three and a half days. The menu will be subject to change from time to time.

The price per course module is 1,600 Bht per person (2007) including recipe book, your own self-cooked meal and bottled drinking water.
