More Than a Culinary School
The Food School Bangkok is a first-of-its-kind learning community that brings together three world-renowned institutions under one roof: ALMA – The School of Italian Culinary Arts, Japan’s prestigious TSUJI Culinary Institute, and Thailand’s own Dusit Thani College. It stands as Thailand’s first and only multinational culinary school offering competency-based training.
Courses at the school combine technical skill-building with entrepreneurial education, all within a framework of environmental consciousness. The school incorporates zero-waste practices, uses an industrial composter for food waste, and actively supports farm-to-table sourcing to reduce its carbon footprint. “Sustainability is integrated into every aspect of our operation—from construction materials to curriculum design,” said Mr Siradej Donavanik, Vice President of Development at Dusit Thani Public Company Limited.
Empowering Culinary Innovators in Bangkok
The school’s facility is built to inspire. Students learn in high-tech kitchens and access creatively designed spaces like vertical farms and a student lounge engineered for innovation. The Test Kitchen serves as a professional-grade incubation zone where entrepreneurs can rent equipment and space to test food business ideas. The public-facing ground floor adds to the communal spirit with a coffee shop, fresh pastries, and pop-up kitchens operated by partner restaurants.
The Foundational Sommelier Skills course stands as an ideal starting point for anyone aiming to develop confidence in wine knowledge, enhance their customer engagement, and elevate their career in the food and beverage sector. By blending education with sustainability and innovation, The Food School Bangkok continues to lead a bold new chapter in Thailand’s hospitality education scene.
