BeBe Spice Indian Restaurant and Wok 'N Roll Thai Cooking Course
This combined cooking school and restaurant in the hillside town of Pai offers a genuinely hands-on introduction to Thai cuisine, with classes led by chef Thom, whose knowledge, warmth, and humour are consistently highlighted by visitors. What sets the experience apart is the market visit built into the class — participants explore a local market with Thom before cooking, learning about the ingredients, their history, and how to select them, before returning to prepare dishes from scratch. The course covers a broad range of Thai cooking fundamentals including stir-fries, curries, soups, salads, and desserts, giving participants a well-rounded skillset to take home.
The venue also operates as a restaurant serving both Thai and Indian food, with vegetarian and vegan options available, making it a flexible stop for those who want to dine rather than cook. The atmosphere is informal and personal, more intimate teaching kitchen than commercial cookery school, which suits the relaxed pace of Pai well.

Reviews from Google
Six of us did this course, the whole day! Soooo much learned and soooo much fun. There’s a choice of dishes to learn including stir-fry, curry, soups, salads and deserts. However, all of this you could learn in any number of cookery schools across the world… what makes it special (and not to be missed) is Thom. She not only explains all of the ingredients in the kitchen but you get a trip to the market to see what’s on offer. She’s part cook, part comedian and will ‘roast’ you as quickly as one of her spices! Our group consisted of experienced cooks and complete noobs and there was loads for everyone, besides it being a great friends/family experience to share. Next time we’re in Pai we’ll be back for sure!
If you ever thought about learning how to cook real Thai food this is the place to go. Chef Thom is so knowledgeable and funny and takes her time to explain both the ingredients and the procedures of cooking Thai food. Her own cookbook that you get with the course contains all the favourites with detailed instructions. We cooked so much delicious food and for the first time (despite many attempts at home) I managed to cook food that just tasted like your favourite local restaurant. Thank you Thom we will think of you every time we make one of your delicious recipes.
I went to the thaï cooking course. Ora (Thom) is amazing ! Everything is well prepared and explained. You do everything: go to the market, cut the ingredients, prepare the sauce, cook step by step and eat. If you love food and to cook this experience is the best souvenir you can have from Thaïlande. Thank you again for this cooking course Ora ! I went to try her indian restaurant, so delicious, very tasty ! Go to her place to try everything you will not be disapointed !

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
