The 10 Best Food & Drink in Rattanakosin (Bangkok Old City), Thailand

May 22, 2021 Madelene Haan

Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

This Thai cooking class was a highlight. We started by taking a tuk tuk to the local markets to buy the produce we needed fresh. Wandering around the market itself was an experience! Then back to the Maliwan cooking class, where we were taught how to cook four different dishes, two starters and two mains. The lesson was easy to follow and you could tweak your individual dishes to suit your taste, less chilli etc. We then got to sit and eat the fruits of our labour - delicious! We were presented with a certificate at the end. If you are a foodie, this is so worth doing!

We offer the local touch of Thailand to travelers through responsible tourism based on the culture and local lifestyle of THAILAND's communities. Mostly, all the travelers will be traveled Thailand as same as the same to the main destinations. Start from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and end the tour at the relaxing beach in the region of the southern part. For example, Phuket, Koh Samui or Krabi. Why not travel off the path to the minor destinations or the place that you can see the real local lives and you can be a part of them. We are a tour operator that supports the communities through “Tourism” to create the positive impact in the local environment, education, economy, and society. We care about preserving the local way of life and help communities to become more sustainable.

Lemongrass Bangkok Cooking School

Market tour. Hand on authentic Thai cooking class. With a English speaking instructor

Reviewed By JustinW306

We booked a morning class just one day in advance, and were lucky to be the only 2 people that morning, so got lots of attention. We particularly enjoyed the morning market shopping experience at the start of class, as it helped us understand what to go searching for when we try to attempt these dishes back home. Had a lot of fun preparing and a bit more fun eating all of the dishes -- did not need to eat again till late that night :) . Highly recommend!

Don’t leave the fate of your taste buds to chance… go straight for Bangkok’s culinary jugular. Join us on an epic nightly food feast around the city’s maze of alleys to taste hidden street eats you’d never find alone. Trust us, the pad Thai on Khao San Road is nothing to write home about. Gorge on lemongrass infused mussels, rich peanut satay with grilled coconut chicken and ajat relish, the best Thai curry in Bangkok, and over a dozen more lip-smackingly good things. Kicking off as the afternoon cools, eat your way through the labyrinth of backstreets, ending on a sugary high along the main strip of Yaowarat Road in all its neon glory.

What can I say that every one else hasn't already said? Alyssa and Tum - you've got a WINNING FORMULA in engaging your "students". Everything was superbly organised - cutlery, cooking tools, different types of mortar and pestles for different purposes, crockery, ice-cold Thai soft drinks, well-timed schedule (despite my buying a kilo of peanuts from one of the market vendors, which got him grinning from ear to ear ... in addition to lemon grass tea, mini garlic, dried shrimps, dried roselle, shrimp paste ... haha). Everything else conceivable was well thought out - from the cold wet towels, to wash-hand basins, framed photos and descriptives of the dishes to regular reminders to wash our hands before handling the raw ingredients in particular. The market tour around Yodpiman - Bangkok's oldest and largest flower and vegetable market - was great. Including finding out about floral garland and decoration vendors that are specially recognised as experts in doing up arrangements appropriate for royalty; tasting still-warm rice cakes; learning the difference between two different types of mangoes for the "som tum" salad; and having a close look at a market that's definitely off the usual tourist track. We learnt to cook - from scratch - four mainstay Thai dishes - miang kham, a traditional Thai salad with various ingredients like dried shrimp, peanut, garlic, chilli, lime, onions, roasted coconut, topped with a superb sweet-sauce sauce, and wrapped in either a betel nut leaf or lotus flower petal; som tum, shredded salad with either mango, papaya or guava; pad thai, stir-fried rice noodles with beancurd, beansprouts, prawns, and cooked - you guessed it - a specially made sauce; and a green chicken curry. We were also taught the technique of using the mortar and pestle (this gives much better control of the fine-ness of the ground ingredients, instead of in an electric blender). Look forward very much to returning and doing another class - the afternoon session offers different recipes yeah?
