Home-Style Southern Thai Cooking Class in Trang - Market Visit & Garden Kitchen (Private)

Sobre

This experience goes beyond recipes and offers a deeper look into Southern Thai food and culture.

You’ll learn the foundations of Southern Thai cuisine, including bold flavor balance, fresh herbs, and traditional techniques that differ from Central Thai cooking. Annie explains why each ingredient matters and how to recreate the dishes confidently at home.

Through a walk in the home garden, you’ll be introduced to the herbs, fruits, and plants commonly used in Southern Thai cooking. You’ll learn what grows locally, when ingredients are in season, and why home gardens remain an important part of everyday life in the South.

You’ll also discover the cultural roots of Manora, a traditional Southern performance art, and how food, storytelling, and local traditions are closely connected.

The class introduces Southern Thai food culture through everyday life: local dialect used in markets and kitchens, Southern-style dim sum as part of daily routines, and Kanom Jeen as a staple breakfast with different curries.

Finally, you’ll gain insight into how Thai families share meals and eat at home, beyond restaurants and tourist experiences.
