Morning

You’ll be picked up at around 08:00 - 08:30 and get ready for a half-day cooking class where you can learn how to prepare a traditional Thai meal. 

Any cook knows that a lot of the result depends on the ingredients. That is why you will first join the chef to collect what you need from the local market. Fresh herbs especially are important, and you will pick them yourself.

It takes a lot of preparation but is not always technically difficult. Learn about sweet & sour, spicy sauces and herbs, and enjoy your personalized creations for lunch! Including a full-color cookbook of your recipes.
