We have some friends who live in the Klong Toei slum to share life and advocate for the people who live there. When we asked for their suggestions of what to do in Bangkok, they said "Cook with Poo!!!" Poo is a woman who lives in the slum and formerly cooked food and sold it in front of her house... More

I loved this experience. The day started with a tour of the 'wet market' where Poo and her helpers gave an introduction to the wonders available at the Bangkok markets. This was eye opening and really interesting. She then took us to her humble school in the middle of the Klong Toey slum. It was eye-opening but totally safe. The... More

There's been much written about these cooking classes and the good reputation is deserved. The tours are well run and there is no hassle involved even if you are a bit nervous about joining. After collection by the bus; your group will be led through the Klong Toei fresh market to learn about and select produce. It's a bit more... More

This was a fantastic experience, both the cooking and the market tour. I learned not only some valuable hints and tips that will help my cooking but also about the community that Poo lives in. The tour was well run, the facilities spotless and Poo and her team were so friendly and enthusiastic. I will be recommending this to all... More

We went based on the TA reviews and also an interest to visit Klong Toey and experience a different side of Bangkok. From top to bottom this is an incredibly well-run tour and cooking class, and we would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Bangkok! I might recommend this for couples or even-numbered groups, since you'll be split into pairs.... More

Where to start?! We had a fabulous morning with Khun Poo and her amazing team of helpers. We were collected and taken to the Klong Toey market, which was eye opening to walk through - I avoided the 9am shot of whiskey but my two companions happily indulged! I found the market quite overwhelming as there was so much to... More

We had a great time, first visiting the market and afterwards the cooking with the bought ingredients. An experience you should consider if you like to have a cooking class and support the less fortunate.

Our morning with Poo and her wonderful team was not only a fabulous culinary experience but a true insight to life beyond the tourist vista. It was a priviledge to share Poo's vision of making a difference through her cookery classes and the other small businesses that she has built with people from the largest slum area in Bangkok.
