The location is conveniently close to both MTR and BTS, just a few steps away. There’s a local food market nearby with cheap and delicious options. The hotel room is clean and offers a nice view. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The spacious lobby immediately catches your eye upon arrival. The price is affordable, and I highly recommend it. I’ll definitely book again when I have the chance to return to Thailand. Thank you!

Although I don’t know if there is any story behind the performance, I am more happy than I imagined. The array is very gorgeous and not too small. The venue is not big and you can be very close to the stage. After watching this performance, I want to go there. Check out other venues! ! I think it is one of the best itineraries to visit in Thailand, and they have beautiful facilities~~

Next time I go to Bangkok, I will definitely take a cooking class here! It's fun to start with grocery shopping, and they make it so that even people who can't cook at all can make delicious food! They prepare all the difficult and annoying parts separately. The explanations about the ingredients and food are also plentiful. They explain in an easy and fun way, and they always give safety reminders when handling knives. The tom yum goong and curry I made here were the best Thai food I've ever had! I will definitely go there again on my next trip to Bangkok. I will go twice or three times! Don't hesitate and just register. It's really the best. As you can see, the pictures come out well. It can't not turn out pretty. The best, the best.

There is no silence at all for one hour. Use the QR CODE to exchange for tickets. A free bottle of water is provided. The seats are very close to each other. It is very exciting.

It feels like an old performance hall. The venue and stage effects are relatively old-fashioned, but every performer is very serious. Sitting in the third row is a bit too far in front and you need to look up to see the performance. If you haven't seen it, you can come and experience it. Overall, it is good.
