I went for a half day class with May Kaidee
www.maykaidee.com
in her restaurant in Bangkok. Not sure what it cost, but I paid for three people and it felt cheap. It was very informal and fun, no vegetable carving.

Chef Robert Dahni, who has published a few great Thai cookbooks, suggested Khao Cookery School in Bangkok. I didn't get a chance to try it out myself, but I would trust his endorsement.

I would go this route before doing a hotel class.

My friend (and excellent cook) Maeng has a cooking class that is for a reasonable price at the Suk 11 Hotel (on Sukhumvit Soi 11). I have not attended her class, but I can certainly attest to her ability to cook, plus she has taught a few chefs (no names) how to prepare 'real' Thai food!

My apologies, the link should have been www.khaocookingschool.com
I can also personally recommend the street food tour offered by Bangkok Food Tours. I did the Bangrak Food Tour last winter and it was really quite nice. It was a walking tour, stopping in to a half dozen places to get a bite. Each place was expecting us and had small plates to taste. Yes - it was geared to tourists, but still pleasant, and I went back for more later!
But if I get back to Bangkok, I would take Simpson's recommendation to cook with Maeng - I chose to stay at her favorite hotel and it was a great choice.

oh my...thank you ALL for all your input !
now i am geared up to get enlightened...
in manhattan, and on my travels,
i experienced so many ways the popular, Pad Thai dish
and now i can't wait to taste their version !
btw, if anyone is going to be in the town of Haleiwa, thats up in the North shore, outskirts of the island of Oahu, i strongly suggest a small restaurant called OPAL...its very simple environment/atmosphere..they don't take c/cards, but the food and service is amazing !
