What to Expect
Our fully equipped kitchen and cooking stations offers a clean, safe and enjoyable environment. Learn how to select ingredients, prepare, cook and present your own Thai culinary masterpiece. Our team has shared their insights and knowledge of Thai cuisine with thousands of satisfied students over the years.
For each dish you will firstly discuss it, next you will watch a demonstration and then cook your own. Finally you will sit down to enjoy it while it is hot and the process is fresh in your mind. This is the time to make some extra notes and discuss the dish with your classmates.
We like to think that our classes are not only a day of just learning. Of course that is paramount and we take great care to ensure that the workshops we provide are of the highest quality. But we also try to create an informal atmosphere where the day is about fun, meeting new people and is an escape from the hustle and bustle of busy lives.
All dishes in our class have vegetarian and vegan options/versions.

Additional Information
Pickup Option
Free pick up and drop off is included from/to your hotel or accommodation within the Hua Hin town area. The limits of the town area are generally defined by: to the North – the Dusit Thani Hotel to the East – The Gulf of Thailand! to the South – the Amari Hotel to the West – 5km radius from the middle of town (the “Clocktower”) Please note that we can arrange transfers from hotels outside these areas but a surcharge may apply. Please contact us to quote on specific locations. We try to be as fair as possible and subsidize the surcharge with part of the course fee. When we have more than 1 pick up in a particular area/direction we either waive the surcharge or reduce it accordingly. As another option we have a meeting point at the “Clocktower” each day at 9am. The Clocktower is a meeting point in the middle of town where most hotel shuttles pick up and drop off. There is a Starbucks coffee adjacent and Hua Hin Temple (Wat Hua Hin) opposite that offers all-day car parking for free (sometimes 20thb). After the class we will drop you back to the Clocktower.
