Thai Cooking Course and Hua Hin’s 100 year Old Fresh Market tour

Sobre

Our fully equipped kitchen and cooking stations offers a clean, safe and enjoyable environment. Learn how to select ingredients, prepare, cook and present your own Thai culinary masterpiece. Our team has shared their insights and knowledge of Thai cuisine with thousands of satisfied students over the years.

For each dish you will firstly discuss it, next you will watch a demonstration and then cook your own. Finally you will sit down to enjoy it while it is hot and the process is fresh in your mind. This is the time to make some extra notes and discuss the dish with your classmates.

We like to think that our classes are not only a day of just learning. Of course that is paramount and we take great care to ensure that the workshops we provide are of the highest quality. But we also try to create an informal atmosphere where the day is about fun, meeting new people and is an escape from the hustle and bustle of busy lives.

All dishes in our class have vegetarian and vegan options/versions.
