The experience

The class starts with an introduction to Thai ingredients and seasonings: the chef walks you through what makes each component special and how to pick the best quality items at market. You'll learn to make curry paste from scratch, a foundation for several dishes, then move through stir-fries like Pad Thai or Chicken with Cashew Nuts, fresh salads such as Papaya or Green Long Bean, and curries with your choice of protein. Two desserts round out the menu: Sticky Rice with Mango and Banana in Coconut Milk. Every dish can be tailored to your taste: vegetarian, vegan, spicy or mild.

After you've cooked, you sit down and eat what you made. The class wraps with a recipe book and a culinary certificate you can take home. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Krabi Town or Ao Nang are included. If you're staying in Klong Muang or Tub Kaek, an extra transfer charge applies.
