Sompong Thai Cooking School

About Sompong Thai Cooking School

Sompong Thai Cooking School is a family-run school on Soi Silom 13 in Si Lom, Bang Rak. Auntie Sompong and her niece Teacher Koy established it in 2008, growing the teaching kitchen from space at their family home. Classes are taught in English and combine ingredient explanations, demonstrations, individual cooking stations and a meal made by the participants. Published morning sessions run 09:00–12:30 at THB 1,300 per person, including a local-market visit. The Popular menu covers tom yum goong, pad Thai, mango sticky rice and a daily curry with homemade paste. The morning-only Favourite menu includes tom yum goong, som tam, chicken with holy basil and a fried egg, and mango sticky rice. Afternoon classes run 13:30–16:30 at THB 1,200 with an indoor ingredient-market experience. The evening page lists 17:30–20:30 at THB 1,200, cooking tom yum goong, som tam, pad Thai and mango sticky rice. Confirm the selected session, menu, price and available places before paying. The school advertises an air-conditioned studio, individual stoves and woks, a take-home recipe book, drinks, apron use and luggage storage during class. Private classes offer a customised menu and morning market visit, with one private booking accepted per day. Its Cooking Clash programme is a separate team-building cooking competition arranged by enquiry.
