Steam rises from woks as the city outside hums along the Chao Phraya; inside a compact studio above Bangrak’s storied market, the scent of lemongrass and toasted coconut grabs the room. The experience opens in the cool of morning for those who choose the market tour—chefs lead small groups through narrow aisles of chilies, kaffir leaves and pla thu, explaining how freshness and balance drive classic Thai flavors.
