Chef LeeZ was fantastic. This cooking class was absolutely amazing. My daughter who loves Thai food and I learned how to make so many dishes as well as many of the ingredients that go into the dishes like coconut cream.& milk from a coconut, shredded coconut, delicious homemade chili paste, various chili pastes for the curriesfrom scratch, tamarind paste and on and on, soups, pad Thai, curries, rice, green papaya salad, sticky rice with mango all like grandma would have made it. Can't wait to try out my new culinary skills. Can’t say enough about this wonderful experience and our excellent teacher /chef. Her English was great as well so it was super easy to understand her. A highlight of our trip. Now I just have to figure out how to access her recipes.

- My mother and I did Chef Leez Thai cooking class in Bangkok. This was the best cooking class I have ever done. The food was absolutely AMAZING! We learned to make everything from scratch- even coconut milk and cream. We went to the market before the class to try fruits and see the ingredients we would be cooking with. Chef Leez taught us how to use everything and start from scratch. The food tastes SO good. This was the best Thai food I had in Thailand BY FAR. It ended up being just me and my mom so we lucked out. This is a must do experience in Bangkok and was a highlight of my trip to Thailand. I now know how to make amazing Thai food at home. Thank you for such a great class!!!
While Bangkok's tourism recovers from COVID shutdown most every class is a private class. Hundreds of alumni reviews say Chef LeeZ was the best of every cooking class they have taken anywhere in the world! Best memory of their trip! Best food of their trip! Chef LeeZ is ranked as Thailand's #1 cooking class for over 12 consecutive years!

Extremly profound insight in Thai Cooking techniques and traditional recipes with professionel assistance from ChefLee
We were two guys and have had a private Class. ChefLeez took us to a journey through how to cook real Thai Cuisine only using fresh ingrediences. We‘ve learned so much basic methods you need to get an authentic result. We never ever had heard about in several classes prior to this unique experience. And the very warm assistance and love for the cooking she provided is with teils comes from the bottom of the Heart. It was so unique - we are deeply touched und unspeakably 🙏🏼 thankfuk . Siegfried &Nicolaus from Berlin, Germany
One of the unique aspects of Chef LeeZ is the owner Chef Lee does all the teaching! She loves to share her cookery knowledge! Chef Lee puts her heart into every class! Over 1700 5-star reviews earned Chef LeeZ Trip Advisor's no. 1 ranking for over 12 consecutive years! We look forward to seeing you in class next time you are in BKK.

Wonderful and Informative Experience
The few hours with Chef LeeZ were amazing. She welcomed my wife and I into her home kitchen like family. The time spent with her was welcoming, informative, joyful ,and delicious. The elements of Thai cooking extend beyond the kitchen and touch the very essence of the culture of this great country. I highly recommend this experience but only if you come with a desire to learn, work (it is hands on) and listen. Thank you Chef!! We will be back.
At Chef LeeZ everyone is welcome! You will find vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, meat lovers, families with children, people with food allergies and people who just don't eat this or that ingredient in nearly every class. Our signature class is our 10 AM 12-dish class. That takes 3 classes elsewhere. We have delivered our 12-dish class since 2008 to over 20,000 students! Trip Advisor has ranked us by our more than 1700 5-star reviews as the no. 1 cooking class in Bangkok for over 12 consecutive years! We look forward to seeing you in class next time you are in BKK.

I am amazed and thankful
I love Thai food and have been cooking a few dishes for years but I rely on crutches such as premade sauces and pastes. I always wanted to learn how to make delicious Thai food from scratch. This is why I signed up for this course. Chef Leez did not disappoint. We began by making coconut milk and cream from coconuts. Then we made our own Tom Yum paste, chili oil, and curry paste which we used to create the dishes we cooked and ate later. The amount of knowledge presented to us was overwhelming. I wish I could spend a couple months cooking with this wonderful woman. She was a delight to work with. The food we created was much better than anything I had ever made previously. Better than most Thai food one gets in restaurants too. Fresh ingredients made from scratch definitely makes a difference. This class will, without doubt, be one of my most memorable experiences of our time in Thailand. Thank you chef Leez!
Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish class teaches each dish, one at a time, from scratch just like her Grandma used to make it. The class starts with a market tour. Students prepare truly fresh ingredients for one dish, cook that dish then eat it. Repeat the process for each dish. Chef Lee delivers her professional quality class in a very fun way. Chef LeeZ is student review ranked by Trip Advisor as Bangkok's no. 1 cooking class for over 12 consecutive years! We have received more than 1700 5-star reviews. Yup, a 12-dish class in a single 4-hour class! That takes 3 classes elsewhere. All students receive FREE access to our online Recipe Club and it's 70+ Thai recipes and how-to-videos. See you in class next time you are in Bangkok.

Amazing recipes and so much fun
This is the second time I have taken Chef Leez cooking class. On both occasions I have attended with my work colleagues, who also attended the first time.
The dishes are easy to make and they taste clean and fresh. They taste so good it is hard to believe they are so simple to make.
Chef Leez is an amazing Chef who is willing to share her knowledge and she is highly entertaining.
I highly recommend these classes to anyone who would like to learn how to make delicious traditional Thai food from scratch.
After attending these classes, eating at the local Thai restaurant will never be the same.
Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish cooking class is organic review ranked by Trip Advisor as Bangkok's #1 cooking class for more than 12 consecutive years! This class was a private 30-person team-building class. Team building class has a different agenda than that of our signature 12-dish class. Team building is fewer dishes and is more of a talk about the ingredients followed by a Chef Lee ingredient prep and cook demonstration. The team's chef and sous chef gather the ingredients from the related ingredients laid out on a table. Each team sits together at one table. The table elects a different chef and sous chef for each dish. They pick the ingredients, every one at the table does the ingredient prep., the chef and sous chef cook the dish and everyone eats that dish then repeats the process for each of the 5 dishes. Chef Lee or someone from the organization picks the best team.

The reputation is accurate- a great day out
Chef LeeZ has worked hard for her TripAdvisor ranking and it is worth it. This half-day activity was very hands-on and we both learned a lot. We were fortunate enough to be the only couple in class today so benefited from very individual attention. The approach is very much on translating Thai classics to the home kitchen and is very practical. It was particularly great how we made both an 'authentic Thai home' Tom Yum and then a 'tourist' Tom Yum to see the difference between the two.
It is a bit of a schlep from downtown Bangkok- we had a dream run with traffic and it took us about 30mins with a Grab we booked the night before. The plus side of this though is that you will see a real Bangkok neighbourhood off the tourist track- during the market tour we were the only non-locals there.
Chef LeeZ is an excellent teacher, ably assisted by her two excellent assistants (in our class, a 3:2 staff:student ratio!).
Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish cooking class is T.A. review ranked as the no. 1 cooking class in Bangkok for more than 12 consecutive years! That takes 3 classes elsewhere. Chef LeeZ provides all students with FREE after-class access to her Recipe Club and its 70+ recipes and how-to-videos. We are located in the middle of a 45-year-old street market and true you will likely be the only foreigners the locals see that day.

Best Cooking Class ever!
Cooking Class @ Chef LeeZ. Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok, an absolute highlight of our trip! We are so impressed by Chef Leez’s knowledge, inspired by her passion and grateful for her time and patience to explain and show us how to prepare quite a few of our favourite Thai dishes from scratch and more! Thank you Chef Leez; cant wait to try the online recipes 🙂 If anyone is looking for Thai Cooking Class- look no further!

A great local experience with authentic grounding in Thai cuisine.
They are friendly and patient - taking the time you need explain the ingredients and the techniques - all of which are very foreign to a westerner.
I learned a lot.
Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish class has over 12 years ranked as Thailand's #1 cooking class! We earned that ranking by delivering a superior experience to what is offered by the competition. Everyone is welcome. Families with children, vegans, vegetarians, meat lovers, people with food allergies, and people who don't like this or that can be found in nearly every 12-dish cooking class. We adjust your ingredients according to your dietary requirements.

Our expectations were high, but we had an amazing and better than expected day.
Our expectations were high, but chef Lee could exceed by far. We had an incredible cooking class in a small group (us 2 + another lovely couple from Canada). She guided us on how to cook Thai food with simple and easy to find ingredients. It’s more than a cooking experience, you learn a lot from the ingredients and thai culture, which in my opinion is way more important than a normal cooking class where they focus the recipes and techniques. I fully recommend Chef Lee!
Please do set your expectations high for your Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish class! Chef Lee has earned that respect! She has received over 1700 organic 5-star reviews. Hundreds of these reviews are from students who have taken many cooking classes all over the world. Their reviews simply say Chef LeeZ is by far the best cooking class they have experienced anywhere in the world bar none! Thailand's tourism is suffering. Which means you have a 90% chance of your class being a private class. We do not have a minimum student requirement to hold a class. Even if it is only one person, you receive a private class.

Immersive cultural experience through food
We didn't have to check into our flight home on our last day in Bangkok until midnight and we wanted our last day to be the best. We thought it would be fun as professional Thai food consumers (lol) and avid home chefs to take a cooking class. Chef LeeZ was highly recommended. We were a little concerned because it was described as covering the basics that it would be a beginner's course but we were intrigued by all the reviews and we were able to easily book a class online for our desired date. Let me say the reviews were not wrong! We re-learned the basics the RIGHT way - no short cuts! - and then went on to learn new techniques and traditions of Thai food shopping, prepping, cooking and presenting. Chef LeeZ was friendly, funny, and informative. Her English was very good and she was as much a skilled teacher as she was a chef. I can't recommend this experience enough to those wanting an immersive Thai experience that was so much more than a cooking class. Plus you walk away stuffed from all the best fresh Thai food you just made with ingredients from her garden and other hyper local sources!

Amazing class!!
Chef LeeZ cooking class was the best! I learned so much about Thai cuisine and she and her staff were very helpful. This wasn't just a "show up and cook" type class, she made sure I knew the background of the ingredients and why we use them. I've cooked a few Thai dishes at home before, but nothing even close to this good. I'm super excited to continue cooking Thai cuisine, but at a much higher level!
