Introduction to the Thai Kitchen

Join this half-day tour where you will get to meet new friends, buy and learn how to choose ingredients and experiment by cooking new types of food. Expand your cooking knowledge by letting your professional English speaking chef demonstrate while you take notes.

Highlights

You will be picked up from your hotel or meet at the "Clocktower" in Hua Hin town center if you are staying outside of Hua Hin town and head to Hua Hin's bustling main fresh food (100 year old) market in the city centre. Take in the unique and colourful scene of the market while choosing the right ingredients to be used later.

Once that is done, you will head off to the cooking school via a Songthaew – a Thai pickup truck style taxi with seats in the back. After the 5-10 minutes journey, enjoy a refreshing lemongrass tea when you've reached the cooking school. While sipping on the tea, you will also learn how to make coconut cream and milk by hand.

You will then set up to prepare and cook your first dish of the day! Watch a demonstration of the dish cooked by your instructor. You'll have your turn to cook and taste the dish as well. Once you are satisfied with your dish, sit down and enjoy the dish while it is hot and fresh. You will then also be able to take down notes in your recipe booklet while discussing the dish with your classmates around the dining table.

You will then cook 2 other main dishes - each time following the same process of demonstration and taste. To finish and freshen your palette, you will also learn to make a Thai dessert. You will receive a certificate at the end of this class.

Once you've cooked the 4 dishes and filled your tummies to the brim, you will be transported back to your hotel or to the "Clocktower" in Hua Hin town center if you are staying outside of Hua Hin town - full and satisfied.
