funny, Pook...

I did Blue Elephant (www.blueelephant.com) - the morning class includes a trip to a Thai market. Fun and worthwhile.

Baipai has also been recommended on this forum (www.baipai.com) The classes are held outdoors so it could be uncomfortable when its hot out in Bangkok (most of the time).

Blue Elephant is more expensive and easily accessible by skytrain. I believe Baipai picks you up at your hotel.

Puttakka, as the others have said, Blue Elephant looks like an excellent class and gets some great reviews. It is rated # 14 in popularity on Trip Advisor under Attractions in Bangkok. However, I would also check out Baipai Thai Cooking School, which is rated even higher in popularity at #4 and has been getting great reviews as well. Enjoy your trip!
