Before cooking, take a stroll through an organic farm and witness how herbs and vegetables are cultivated in Thailand. Hand-pick ingredients for your desired dish and receive a quick introduction to herbs. After that, you will be ready to start your lesson in our kitchen, which is fully equipped with everything you will need to get started. Learn just how easy it is to cook deliciously authentic Thai food with our certified Thai teacher. Savor a mouthwatering Thai lunch or dinner made by yourself and transfer back to your hotel.
