Does anyone know where to find a Craft Beer Workshops?

For a proper 101 workshop, check with Brewing Room Bangkok on Sukhumvit 69. They do small-group sessions where you actually brew a batch and take it home to ferment, which is rare for a one-day thing. Cost is around 2,500 baht per person and they speak good English.

For tours, Taproom Bangkok on Soi Nana does brewery visits to their production facility in Bang Na every few weeks. It's more about tasting and the process talk than hands-on brewing, but the tour guide is a former homebrewer who can answer specific questions. Their Instagram posts the tour dates each month.

WAS Homebrew on Ekamai is still your best bet for the actual workshop though. If you call them directly, they might do a private session on a weekday if the schedule is open. Their owner is flexible with timing.

if you're open to a bit of a drive, check out Stone Head Brewing on Soi Lat Phrao 80. they're a proper microbrewery and the owner's a homebrew nerd who's done impromptu sessions for friends before. not a formal workshop but he'd prob walk your boyfriend through the whole setup if you email him and mention it's a birthday thing.

for a tour, skip the big places and try Kuibrew near Kasetsart. it's a garage operation but the guy there is super passionate and will let you mess around with ingredients. plus their taproom is just a few benches so it feels like a private thing. just message them on IG a week ahead.

honestly, have u checked with Let the Beast in? they're over on Ekkamai 10 and sometimes do collab events with homebrewers. for a tour, Yodkaew Brewing out past Bang Khen is chill and they'll show u around if u call ahead. their setup is small but that makes it more personal. WAS Homebrew is the most consistent for actual workshops though, maybe see if they can squeeze u in before the birthday if u ask nice

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
