What to expect

Begin your experience with hotel pickup and travel to a peaceful Thai cooking school located in the green mountain valley of Kata. Start with a visit to a local fresh market, where your instructor explains Thai herbs, spices, and ingredients, and you can see how locals shop for everyday cooking.

After the market visit, continue to the cooking school and take a short walk through the tropical garden filled with herbs, vegetables, and fruits used in Thai cuisine. Then join a hands-on cooking class led by an experienced English-speaking chef. You’ll learn how to prepare several authentic Thai dishes step by step, with vegetarian options available.

Once cooking is complete, enjoy the dishes you prepared together in a relaxed garden setting. After the meal, receive recipes and a certificate before returning to your hotel.
