things to visit the first time. I mean, food is probably one of the reasons you'll visit Bangkok countless times but if you're into new stuff and exploring new places most of the time, then the third vacation in Bangkok would probably bore you already. I'm not saying I got bored during our vacation in Bangkok because I totally did enjoy but of course, I am one of those people who wants to experience something new whenever they go on vacations.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003ELuckily for me, my mother loves food as much as I do. So scrolling through Klook looking new stuff we could do, I stumbled across a Thai cooking lesson which apparently looks fun because it promises the participants to learn how to cook Thai food even though they don't have any basic or advanced cooking experience yet. Heck, you can even join this class without any cooking experience at all! And that's me! Mock me or say anything you want but I don't know how to cook complicated stuff.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI can cook the normal stuff like anything fried but nothing out of the ordinary. During my high school and college days, my father also occasionally taught me how to cook Adobo and other Filipino food though I haven't had the chance to cook for anyone yet aside from my boyfriend to whom I cooked \u003Ci\u003ESinigang na Bangus\u003C\/i\u003E with some research and my mother's guidance.

I was expecting the basic Thai food pad thai but boy we're in for a treat with this one. And I must say, I really enjoyed this class as this is my first cooking class ever.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-oVXOMxC-t1Y\/XSBS_hISX7I\/AAAAAAAAfVo\/p7M7shWjREIQxXH-7l8Yk3L2LpLWIbzJwCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Sompong%2BThai%2BCooking%2BClass%2B22.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Me posing before cooking :)\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-oVXOMxC-t1Y\/XSBS_hISX7I\/AAAAAAAAfVo\/p7M7shWjREIQxXH-7l8Yk3L2LpLWIbzJwCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Sompong%2BThai%2BCooking%2BClass%2B22.JPG\" title=\"Sompong Thai Cooking Clas\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWe did this on our last day in Bangkok so we could still do stuff in the afternoon, it's like a free day but we dedicated our morning to food.

How naïve of me to think that they only cater 10 people at one class, little did I know that there's concurrent morning class going on. You wouldn't have to think of anything or prepare anything because everything is prepared for you.

They also provide a cookbook which you can bring with you as a souvenir. There are various recipes you can try and not just the popular ones. You can even make your own sticky mango rice!!!

So in a sense, everything that we will use for this cooking class is freshly sourced from the public market. We each have our own cute little basket where we put the ingredients for our class. We did not only go through the market but our instructor also explained the most common ingredient Thais used for their food. And Thais being into spicy food, it is no brainer that they use a lot of spices.
