1Thonburi
Thonburi Village is a charming and historic area located on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Once the capital of Thailand before Bangkok, Thonburi retains a rich cultural heritage, with peaceful canals (klongs), traditional wooden houses, vibrant local markets, and ancient temples. Unlike the bustling city center, Thonburi offers a slower pace and a glimpse into the traditional Thai way of life. Visitors can enjoy boat tours through its waterways, visit landmarks like Wat Arun and the Artist’s House, and experience authentic local food and crafts in a more relaxed, community-centered setting. Arrive at the village and step out of the car, then follow our tour guide on a short walk through the local community to a charming traditional house. Your first activity of the day is to cook like a local! The host will have all the ingredients prepared, and you'll begin your Thai cooking class in a warm, welcoming home setting.
