3D Thai Cooking & Homestay in Bangkok!
Kingdom of Thailand
Ruan Khun Yai in Thai means the “Home of Grand Ma”. It is actually the home of a Thai family located on the bank of a canal in Bangkok’s western suburbs. It is an old wooden Thai house with a cozy balcony overlooking the scenic Chak Phra Canal and can accommodate up to 6 guests. Visitors can enjoy the Thai way of life and at the same time learn the secrets of Thai cooking, with a flexible menu depending on guests’ interests.
