Overview
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 the bustling local Don Wai 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.

Reviews
This experience was beyond what I had hoped for, it was in fact like I was in my own little independent movie for the day. I had gotten off at the wrong place near the metro station but Aoy and her very kind niece Mod found me anyway, both speak English and "Chef" and I were able to joke around in German as well :-)
We started with a tour and tasting around a couple of local markets (I didn't see a single other tourist), and then took a relaxing little riverboat ride to her restaurant right on the water. A quick welcome snack and drink later and it was time to get to cooking...I'm sure there's a set plan for the day if you don't have any special requests but once I mentioned my favorite Thai dish it was added to my curriculum. What followed was a gym-session's worth of slicing, frying, laughing, singing, and dishing before I ate what I had made (with a lot of help from the two of them as well as Mod's sister May -- I apologize if I've misspelled anyone's name), in addition to a delicious house-prepared special dessert I had no idea was coming. So very tasty.
In short: if you are up for something different from all the standard tours, and especially if you enjoy cooking and/or Thai cuisine at all, you'll want to book this. Thank you Chef, thank you ladies, and thank you to the restaurant staff as well.
Aoy was/is so much more than an amazing chef, but a guide (informed by travel and experience around the world), foodie sommelier, and quickly became a friend. Her beautifully cared for home/restaurant and deeply caring staff were immediate reflections of how she pours her heart into her loves (food and people).
Our travel with her through various markets to pick ingredients for our meal and learn more about Thai food culture was fascinating and also showed how much she is respected in the community.
We will highly recommend her and her business to anyone we know visiting Bangkok. The pictures below of the amazing meal we made (before and after) together with Aoy and her staff and one of the walls outside her home show a glimpse of what was *the best* day!
Thank you Aoy and your wonderful staff - you are inspirations!
