Overview

About Wandee Culinary Art School โรงเรียนสอนอาหารครัววันดี

Wandee Culinary Art School teaches Thai cooking, culinary techniques and related practical skills at its Pradipat Road premises in Phaya Thai, Bangkok. Its own history dates its foundation by Wandee Na Songkhla to 12 August 1993 and its move from Silom to Pradipat Road to October 2004. The school describes learning through practical ingredient preparation, cooking, carving, tasting and presentation. The catalogue includes a 40-hour beginner programme, 150-hour Basic and Superior formats, a 300-hour Advanced programme, private menu-selected lessons, royal/traditional Thai food, desserts, carving, food styling, business sauces, costing and other culinary subjects. Published course descriptions and prices should be confirmed for the selected language, station arrangement and start date; the Thai and English Advanced pages display different prices. The contact page and footer give 294/16–17 Pradipat Road, opposite Pradipat Soi 25, Bangkok 10400; the About page describes the premises as 294/16–18 and correctly names Phaya Thai subdistrict, while the contact footer retains Sam Sen Nai. This node uses Phaya Thai subdistrict and the original map point, with the address-range difference disclosed. Wandee Culinary Technological College in Hua Mak is a separate institution and its diploma/degree programmes are not represented as awards taught at this short-course school.

Choosing a practical cooking programme

What beginner and Basic formats are published?

The Thai catalogue describes a five-day, 40-hour beginner course covering preparation, Thai ingredients, kitchen/equipment management and dishes such as curries, soups, stir-fries and northeastern favourites. The Basic programme is 20 days/150 hours with about 70 menu items, covering cooking methods, ingredients, catering quantities, carving and presentation. Confirm daily attendance, language, materials, class size and current availability rather than treating the stated days as a guaranteed calendar.

How do Superior and Advanced programmes differ?

Superior is published as a 20-day/150-hour programme with individual practical stations, more complex traditional and contemporary dishes, sauces/pastes, costing, plating and carving. Advanced is 40 days/300 hours and about 148 dishes for learners with a cooking foundation or prior study. Its page describes an assessment route for experienced entrants and additional station options. Ask which preparation or assessment is required and what qualification, assessment and certificate the exact course provides.

Can I choose individual dishes or other specialist topics?

The private-course page says learners can choose menus and arrange dates, with practical participation through the process and prices dependent on the selected dishes. It gives 09:30 as a possible start or another agreed time. The catalogue also lists royal/traditional cuisine, Thai desserts, food styling, carving/garlands/banana-leaf work, business sauces, costing, vegetarian/vegan food and online learning. Confirm the actual offered session, language, ingredients, prerequisites and minimum numbers directly.

Published prices, terms and certificates

What price examples are currently displayed?

The undated Thai pages advertise THB 28,000 for the 40-hour beginner course, including fees, ingredients, recipes and textbooks; THB 63,000 for Basic or THB 73,000 with a private individual station; and THB 99,000 for Superior. These are website examples, not a date-specific quotation. Confirm the price applicable to your language, teaching arrangement, start date and any tax, equipment, uniform, certificate or other charge.

Why should I request a written Advanced-course quote?

The Thai Advanced page displays THB 167,000 for learners continuing from the 150-hour Basic course, while its English page displays THB 187,000. The English description also lists THB 5,000 for an existing-skills assessment and an additional THB 20,000 for a private individual-station option. The reason for the language-page difference is not established; do not assume the lower figure applies. Ask the school for the complete applicable offer and prerequisites.

What should I check before enrolment or relying on a certificate?

Obtain the current start/attendance schedule, total fee, payment and refund/rescheduling terms, ingredients and equipment supplied, language of tuition and final assessment/certificate details. The school reports Ministry of Education and labour-skills testing roles and Worldchefs recognition, but current scope and validity were not independently established for every course. Ask which body issues the specific award or test result and verify any employment or overseas-use requirements separately. The separate Wandee college’s diploma and degree programmes should not be assumed to be awards of this course school.

Contacts, premises and source information

Which contacts and opening hours belong to this school?

The exact map phone, 062 652 2442, also appears in the school website footer. Other published contacts are 02 279 9844–5, 081 442 8956 and 082 442 9156, with wandeeschool@hotmail.com for email. The school publishes daily 08:00–17:00 contact hours. Arrange the course and visit first; office availability is separate from your actual class timetable.

How should I interpret the Pradipat address?

The contact page gives 294/16–17 Pradipat Road, opposite Soi 25 near the Saphan Khwai junction. The About page gives a wider 294/16–18 range and Phaya Thai subdistrict, while the footer retains older Sam Sen Nai wording. The exact map point and current About-page subdistrict support the Phaya Thai parent used here. Confirm the entrance and meeting instructions; parking, step-free access and accommodation are not established.

How current are the sources and image?

Research on 6 November 2026 inspected the exact school’s Thai/English course descriptions, contact and history pages and mapped record. Quoted prices are undated and the Advanced language-page difference remains unresolved. Linked school-frontage images timed out on repeated bounded retrieval attempts; a portrait/gallery image did not establish the premises. The official school logo is supplied as branding instead. Old commented-out Show DC contact details and the separate Hua Mak college’s programmes were excluded.
