  • • Workshops & Classes
  • • Duration 6 hour

Description

Discover the flavours of Northern Thailand through a hands-on Thai cooking class in Pai. Begin with hotel pickup and travel to a local cooking school, where your instructor introduces you to the ingredients, herbs, vegetables and spices commonly used in Thai cuisine.

Depending on the selected class, visit a local market to learn how fresh ingredients are selected before heading to the kitchen. With step-by-step guidance from an experienced Thai chef, prepare several traditional dishes at your own cooking station. Typical menu choices can include Pad Thai, green or red curry, Tom Yum, Tom Kha, Pad Kra Pao, Papaya Salad, spring rolls and Mango Sticky Rice. Current Pai classes offer flexible menus and vegetarian and vegan options.

After cooking, sit down and enjoy the dishes you have prepared. Guests receive recipes or cooking notes so they can recreate their favourite Thai dishes at home. The experience is suitable for beginners, couples, families and food-loving travellers.
