Thai Cooking Course Hua Hin

This cooking school has been running Thai cookery classes since 1999, teaching classical Thai cooking in a professional but relaxed atmosphere. Workshops are hands-on and interactive: attendees shop at Hua Hin's 100 year old morning market for the day's ingredients, then continue to a traditional Thai teak home for a coffee break and preparations.

The one day course starts at 9am and finishes around 1pm, with afternoon or evening workshops offered during busy times. Students learn to make curry paste the traditional Thai way, then prepare dishes such as green curry with chicken, Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong and a jackfruit dessert, guided by English speaking instructors. Only fresh ingredients and authentic recipes are used, with ideas for adapting dishes to a western kitchen.

The fee is 1,800 baht, or 1,000 baht for kids 11 and under, including hotel transport within Hua Hin town, bottled drinking water, a certificate, a recipe booklet and four full size Thai dishes.
