Meet Pimmy at the BTS Skytrain station On Nut before heading out together for a guided tour of a local Thai market in downtown Bangkok. Small yet memorable, the On Nut fresh market is equipped with all of the unique Thai ingredients one needs to create Pimmy’s delicious menu. She takes you around to each vendor, all of whom are seemingly familiar faces to her, and explains what ingredients are best for each dish and why. After gathering a good helping of fresh ingredients, you and Pimmy will return to her home that also doubles as a cooking school and learn to prepare authentic Thai dishes.

More about Pimmy

Pimmy’s passion for Thai food began in childhood, nurtured by her family, especially her mother, who played a key role in shaping her culinary skills. From an early age, Pimmy found joy in the kitchen, mastering traditional recipes long before considering a professional path. She briefly attended university-level cooking classes but quickly grew frustrated by the simplicity of the curriculum; the dishes being taught were ones she had already perfected at home. Her true inspiration lies in connecting with others who share her love for food, which led her to pursue a career as a chef and cooking instructor. Today, she welcomes travelers from around the world into her home, which also serves as her cooking school, where she guides students on an unforgettable journey through the flavors and techniques of authentic Thai cuisine.

What others are saying

"Pimmy was a fun and welcoming host and provided guests with a great culinary experience. She picks you up right from the BTS Skytrain Station On Nut, making it super easy to navigate for travelers who have not ventured to Bangkok before. The market is small but the vendors were all super friendly and there were definitely some strange finds here, for example, live frogs. It is truly a unique experience to see first-hand where the ingredients are coming from before preparing the meals. Once returning to her home, you create some of the most noteworthy Thai dishes the country has to offer, and even though I was so incredibly full, I managed to scrape all of my plates clean: the food was that good.

"Amazing class, delicious food! Pimmy was an amazing teacher. We had a fantastic trip to the market where Pimmy patiently explained to us all of the various ingredients we would be using, including how to pickout the freshest shrimp! Then we went back to her professionally outfitted cooking school, in an air-conditioned room where she had us cooking in no time. Our family agree that the meal we made and then enjoyed was one of the best meals we had ever had. Flavorful, beautifully presented, and so much fun. This class was just terrific."
