A Thai cooking class is one of the best-rated experiences on Koh Samui. In a school with individual stations, a local chef explains the core ingredients –lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, curry paste– and guides you step by step.
What you cook
- A soup such as tom yum or tom kha gai.
- A stir-fry such as pad thai or chicken with cashews.
- Hand-pounded curry paste and a green or massaman curry.
- A dessert: mango sticky rice, in season.
At the end you eat everything you cooked. Schools adjust the spice level and offer vegetarian options.
Who it is for
Food lovers of all ages and levels, ideal for a rainy day or a break from the sun. Children can join with an adult.
What to bring
