Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Lessons & Workshops

May 19, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

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.

I took my wife to Chef Leez's cooking class as part of her birthday and we really enjoyed learning about Thai cooking. Chef Leez and her team made it extremely streamlined so that we could learn and experience a lot in a relatively short amount of time. I am still wow'd by how much flavor we could create in such simple and quick dishes. My favorite parts were making fresh coconut cream and milk in the traditional way, scraping the old coconuts, soaking in water, and squeezing out the cream and milk. We also learned how to make a crazy delicious shrimp head paste that makes every soup taste insanely good. I also appreciated how Chef Leez taught us that all the inedible spices and flavor makers, like camphor lime leaves and lemon grass, should be removed by the cook before serving. This is never done in restaurants. Chef Leez is very knowledgeable and personable. The space is great and everyone gets a digital copy of her recipes to try at home.

Had an amazing experience with my daughter at this place putting ourselves in the shoes of those without the gift of sight! The experience was humbling and made up appreciate what we have. Highly recommend this to everyone visiting Bangkok with kids. Unfortunately I hear that this place will close its doors on 31 December 2019 after 9 years in operation. So hurry if you’re in Bangkok right now!!

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?
