Authentic Thai Cooking with Khun Poo

Experience the inspiring legacy of Khun Saiyuud "Poo" Diwong, a long-term resident of Klong Toey, one of Bangkok's biggest slums. Her rise from hardship to culinary success embodies true resilience. After economic crisis threatened her livelihood in 2007, Poo transformed her front room into Thailand's most heartwarming cooking school.

Your adventure begins at bustling Klong Toey wet market, where her excellent local team guides you through selecting fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables. Back at the community kitchen, these market treasures become authentic Thai dishes under expert instruction. Learn traditional recipes while directly supporting local families through meaningful tourism. Experience genuine Thai hospitality in intimate classes (maximum 12 guests) that connect you with real Bangkok stories. This isn't just cooking—it's cultural exchange that transforms lives.
