Availability checked
Enjoy a scenic boat ride, market tour, cooking class and lunch with a fun-loving local chef at her beautiful, riverside home. Your host will pick you up from the BTS station and drive you to two markets. First, stop at an extensive wholesale market where over Thai snacks and coffee, you will discover a huge variety of produce, seafood and noodle makers. Next head over to Don Wai market, a riverside Thai-only market where you will discover regional produce - you will seldom find a non-local here. Hop in a boat from the nearby pier and enjoy a breezy and beautiful boat ride along the serene Tha Chin river to your guide’s riverside home. Enjoy a refreshing drink before you roll up your sleeves to slice, dice and learn to cook an authentic Thai meal in the well-equipped studio kitchen. After your cooking class, share some of the dishes that you helped create. Be prepared to share many laughs over drinks with your charming and fun-loving host who loves sharing her culture and cuisine with travelers.
Itinerary
Stop
Meet your host, an Iron Chef Thailand winner, at Bang Wa BTS Station at 8am for pickup and a short drive to Don Wai Market, famous for its vibrant produce and local snacks. Stroll through the market together as your host introduces you to regional fruits, vegetables, and Thai ingredients. Then, enjoy a scenic 30-minute boat ride along the Tha Chin River to your host’s peaceful riverside home surrounded by lush gardens. This private boat ride on this serene river is a truly unique experience in Bangkok.
Stop
Sip a refreshing drink before stepping into your host's professional kitchen studio for a hands-on Thai cooking class. Learn to prepare two authentic Thai dishes from scratch as your host shares her deep knowledge of local herbs, spices, and culinary traditions. After cooking, savor your meal overlooking the river — dishes may include Pad Thai, red curry with roasted duck, or her signature Somtam lood. Enjoy your creations with a glass of local beer before returning to Bang Wa Station. Your host is not only passionate about cooking but also presenting dishes artfully with flowers and herbs from her garden. She lives on a lush, beautiful property on the banks of the Tha Chin River which is in the Nakhon Sathom Province - it is a wonderful stop en route back from the Damnoen Saduak floating market into the city. Please note that your host runs a restaurant out of her home so there may be a few patrons of the restaurant in the dining room during the lunch hour.
