Suitable for beginners and experienced cooks alike, the class offers practical, hands-on learning led by a highly respected Thai culinary expert. From selecting ingredients at a local market to preparing authentic dishes, this journey is designed to elevate your cooking skills.
Your experience begins at the historic Governor’s Residence in Phuket, where a welcome drink sets the tone for the day.
For morning class: you’ll explore a lively morning market alongside the chef, learning how to identify fresh produce, herbs, and spices while understanding their role in traditional Thai cooking. Returning to the cooking school, you’ll enjoy a refreshing herbal drink and brief introduction before learning the fundamentals behind creating a fantastic 4 Thai menu.

In the kitchen, you’ll work at your own cooking station, using traditional equipment to prepare a complete meal. With guidance from the instructors, you’ll practice essential Thai cooking techniques while crafting a starter, soup, main course, and side dish.
The experience concludes with a certificate and a special keepsake, followed by a relaxing lunch at the Blue Elephant Restaurant, where you can enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared and leave with the confidence to recreate Thai flavors at home.
