Friendly, fun, tasty and interesting - I came here with two of my sons (aged 14 and 17) who are both quite happy cooking but not exactly chefs. We all enjoyed it very much. There was only one other person - Lisa from Italy - so we made a foursome and that was really nice, too, We started with a walk around the local market which struck as as very much a food market for locals as there were no prices or labels in English. Our guide, Pimi, showed us different herbs and vegetables and also explained some of the essential sauces and spices you need to make Thai food. Then it was back to the kitchens (only a 2-3 minute walk) where we prepared four dishes - three main courses and some sticky rice and mango. We didn’t exactly prepare it all, but we certainly did enough to get a really good insight and to practise some of the skills. Pimi was very helpful in her explanations, too. Her English is good, if not perfect, and once we tuned into her accent we understood everything we needed to. We got to eat everything we had made. The Thai green curry and Pad Thai were really brilliant, as was the sticky rice and mango. We weren’t so keen on the other dish but it was ok, and a good contrast in flavour to the other dishes. We were all really pleased with this activity. It was very interesting, fun and memorable. I would recommend this kitchen, too, for sure.

Son Tom - So Yum - We really wanted to take a cooking class and needed something to do that was low effort due to all of the other activities we’d been participating in. We found Pink Chili with a Google search, because we wanted to find a place near us that was in walking distance from BTS Onnut location. Pink Chili had reasonable prices, perfect time slot and great menu option. Pimmy greeted us and led us to the market where she gave us a great briefing about the ingredients we were going to use. Though I’m half Thai, I still learned a lot. She let us roam the market for about 10 minutes, at which time I discovered great Thai tea (one of the better we tried). The class was enjoyable, easy to follow and fun!

Get ready to explore... - Get ready to explore local markets and cook simple Thai dishes under the guidance of owner Pimmy. Come with an open mind to learn more about local spices and favours. The activity is good for families to bond over cooking and food! We had been to Thailand numerous times and was looking for a different experience. We opted for the 9am slot or otherwise we would have woke up late and prob having breakfast and end up in a local mall. The experience ended by about 12+ leaving us with still alot of time for the rest of the day. We prepared the ingredients and cooked mango sticky rice, curry chicken, Tamarind prawns and tom yum goong. It was simple to follow and we were also provided recipes so we may try when we return to our home countries. We will definitely be back to learn other dishes.

Fabulous Lesson, Fabulous Teacher - I love to cook. Now I feel more confident cooking Thai dishes. I could eat what we learned to make today, every day. It was delicious. Getting the recipes to bring home was a bonus. The kitchen is pristine, the equipment great, the instructions clear and the teacher was fabulous showing us around the market and describing the different produce and how they are used. I was in a small class with 2 other people so the mood was lighter and perfect to get acquainted and learn together. Great day. Thank you to our Teacher and to 2 new friends.

Excellent Experience - Great time in a small group setting. Learning about the ingredients at the market was informative. The preparation and cooking was only surpassed by how good the meal was.

Would go again! - This class was so worth it. She taught us about all the ingredients we were using in the dishes we made at the market. Then we came back to cook the dishes. Three entrees and one dessert.
