Thai Cooking Class: Learn 4 Hours of Hands-On Technique
Cook Thai food the way a Thai chef does, in four hours, with ingredients you choose.
A 4-hour hands-on Thai cooking class where you learn to prepare individual dishes of your choice in an open-air kitchen with a Thai chef, hotel pickup and transfer included. You pick your menu from options like Pad Thai, hot and sour prawn soup, green curry, and mango sticky rice. The class ends with a free recipe e-book and photos from the session.
The Experience
Hotel pickup brings you to the cooking location, where a Thai chef introduces you to the basics of Thai cuisine—techniques, ingredients, and how flavors balance. Then you move into the open-air kitchen with fresh ingredients in front of you and begin cooking. You choose which dishes to make from the menu: Pad Thai, fried chicken with cashew nuts or holy basil, hot and sour soups, curries in green, yellow or Massaman style, or mango sticky rice. The chef teaches as you work, so the techniques stick because your hands are doing them.
The class runs four hours total. Dietary needs—vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free—are accommodated if you mention them when you book. Water is provided throughout. At the end you leave with a PDF recipe book so you can repeat the dishes at home, plus photos the chef took during the session.

- Hotel pickup and transfer to the cooking location.
