I visited Sangkhlaburi for the second time in February 2014, and it was at this time that I met Scenn (K’Sai) and Charlie. This very lovely couple made my stay there very memorable, but what I really loved most was the Thai cooking class with Scenn.Scenn knows very well how to teach. I don’t cook, but I was able to follow her instructions and even remembered how to cook the dishes months later. The ingredients were freshly bought from the market and freshly picked from their garden. The taste of those dishes, especially the vermicelli one, really stuck with me for a long time. I love Thai food, and Scenn has showed us how much care goes into cooking each dish. Wish I can visit Scenns again!Now, every time someone asks me about cooking lessons in Thailand, I always recommend Scenns. Its location in Sangkhlaburi make it a perfect place to just relax and learn not only about cooking, but about Thai culture as well.
While it is part of Thailand, Sangklaburi is probably best known for its proximity to Myanmar and its mix of Mon, Karen, and Burmese cultures. Thai culture is present as well and one of the best ways to get closer to it is to visit Scenn.Scenn, who is originally from Bangkok, along with her partner Charlie, are long-time residents of Sangklaburi. In addition to renting guest rooms in their home, Scenn teaches Thai cooking and language classes. Scenn’s food is absolutely wonderful. Her ingredients, which include herbs from her garden, are always fresh and organic whenever possible. She also prepares and can teach you how to prepare a variety of dishes from all over Thailand. Many foreigners love Thai food but tend to get stuck ordering the same things over and over in restaurants. Cooking with Scenn is a great way to learn about delicious Thai dishes that you may have not yet heard of. She also does a great job with the traditional favorites–her Pad Thai is the best I’ve had in my 2+ years in Thailand. If you’re interested in learning Thai language, contact Scenn. Her classes are a fun and gentle way to learn to speak, what for many westerners, can be a difficult language. Scenn’s way of explaining Thai grammar and sentence structure are clear and easy to understand. Her method is also very effective for learning to pronounce the tones correctly, which is essential for being understood by Thai speakers. On various occasions, I’ve had Thai people compliment me on my pronunciation. Thank you Kru (teacher) Scenn!Scenn is also a great source of knowledge on local flora and fauna. Sangklaburi sits at the southern edge of the Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary, which forms part of the largest area of protected land in mainland Southeast Asia. There is a lot to see here and a chat with Scenn is a great way to start.
Any person interested in the complex beauty that is Thai cooking should not give this course a miss. Welcomed into the home of a kind, interesting and generous local couple is just one reason to book a place on this dynamic and informative experience. I did the lesson with my mum and we had such a laugh, while learning lots too. Kru Sai has found the perfect balance between teaching and having fun, and she talked us through each step of the intricate process with patience and support. Kru Sai is an incredible cook. We finished the class by sitting down to a feast to taste our morning’s hard work- and what a treat. I could not believe I had made it!Kru Sai and Charlie are by far the most compassionate people I have met on my many visits to Thailand and I am still using the recipes I learnt on this course back in the UK (with a few ingredient subsitiutes of course). I will hold the memory of that day close to my heart for a long time- such special people and such a special home.If you are unsure whether this course is for you- stop thinking and book. You (and your stomach) will not regret it.
Originally from Bangkok, Scenn has a warm, gentle manner which, combined with her extensive knowledge of and passion for natural, high quality ingredients, talent for whipping up an impressive repertoire of delicious Thai dishes, teaching background and formal university training in Thai Language and Culture make her, without a doubt, Sangkhlaburi’s premier guru in Thai Cooking, Culture and Language. As both a former language and cooking student, whether you’re passing through for a short holiday or on a long-term stay, I highly recommend getting in touch with Scenn regarding her classes and lodging options. As her former language and cooking student, I guarantee that spending a day with Scenn will leave your belly, brain and soul feeling nourished.
We stayed in Charlie and Sai’s accommodation on the top floor of their house. We were lucky enough to spend time with them in their garden learning about the vast array of edible plants that they grow and enjoying a very pleasant meal with them in the evening. The accommodation is very large and clean with a comfortable bed and in a good location with easy access to the bridge and lake. We really enjoyed our time staying with two very warm and caring people.
If you’re looking for accommodation in Sangkhlaburi and want to really get to the know the area then look no further than Scenn’s house – perfect place to stay for someone more independent who wants to feel part of the community rather than staying in a hotel / guest house
I did a series of cooking classes with Sai and I can honestly say it is some of the BEST Thai food I have ever eaten! Sai is incredibly knowledgeable about ingredients, flavours and food combinations and gives lots of great tips and tricks while cooking. She is such a lovely, kind-hearted woman and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her cooking. She also loves a laugh so cooking with her is an incredibly informative but also very fun experience! All of the ingredients came fresh from the local markets and their incredible vegetable garden, noticeable in the incredible flavours of the dishes you make. I am so, SO happy I went to Sai’s cooking class and I honestly cannot wait to start cooking these amazing dishes at home! If you are looking for an authentic Thai cooking experience then you MUST do one of Sai’s classes!
