Why go, and how to do it well

This combination restaurant and cooking school on Phra Phuket Kaeo Road offers travelers a genuinely interactive way to engage with Thai cuisine. Participants choose their own dishes from a menu of classics — pad Thai, green curry, mango sticky rice, and more — meaning each class feels personal rather than one-size-fits-all. The setup also suits groups, with the studio comfortably accommodating up to 18 people, making it a popular choice for team-building events and travel groups alike.

The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and informal, with instructors consistently praised by visitors for their warmth, knowledge, and energy. Classes run at a pace that welcomes beginners, focusing on fresh, simple ingredients and traditional techniques. For those not joining a class, the restaurant also functions as a casual dining spot serving freshly prepared Thai food. Budget-friendly pricing makes it accessible without compromising on quality or experience.

The venue is open every day from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Those interested in a cooking class should book in advance through the website at pumthaifoodchain.co.th, as class schedules and availability can vary. Checking ahead also allows participants to confirm dish selections, which are typically chosen at the time of booking.

Reviews from Google

We had Pum‘s little schools. I liked that the booking was very easy, every participant was able to select his own 3 meals that he likes. I learned a lot of Thai Food and language and even that I cooked it - it was great. Tukki was explaining it very well and entertained us during the preparation. I would recommend to come here, get to know important basics that you can take home and enrich your skills.

We organised a teambuilding cooking class with Pum and boy was it fun! Would recommend to all. The studio can take a max of 18pax comfortably. Mango sticky rice, pad Thai, green curry etc are all options you can choose to learn. We took the Andaman class and Pum and team made all things possible. Khop khun kaa Khun Pum!

Such a fun cooking class experience!!! The instructor was very fun and friendly
