About The Phangan Thai Cooking Class

The Thai cooking experience is a delightful journey that begins with a trip to the local market. Here, participants have the opportunity to select and purchase fresh ingredients that will be used in the preparation of their meals. The market trip is not only a shopping expedition but also an educational experience. Participants learn about local fruits and vegetables, and even get to witness the process of making coconut milk. The market trip is made even more exciting by the fact that participants get to ride bicycles to and from the market.

Once back from the market, the cooking lessons begin. Participants learn to prepare a variety of Thai dishes, including Satay Chicken, Red Chicken Curry, and Holy Basil Pork. The cooking classes are not only informative but also interactive and hands-on. Participants get to prepare the ingredients and cook the meals themselves under the guidance of the chef. The chef is a marvel to watch, effortlessly coordinating multiple participants cooking different dishes and teaching about the cooking methods and ingredients.

The cooking classes are inclusive and cater to different dietary preferences. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the chef is adept at suggesting alternatives and substitutes for various ingredients. For instance, vegetarians are taught how to substitute fish and oyster sauce and how to prepare tofu for the meals instead of meats.

Despite the busy nature of the classes, the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and learn at their own pace. The chef is always there at the crucial moments and has time to answer questions. The classes are intimate and informal, yet well organized.

The cooking experience is not only about learning to cook Thai food but also about having fun. Participants end up with heaps of food, and it is recommended to eat only part of the appetizer as there is still so much more food to fit in. The cooking experience is a great way to spend an afternoon with friends.

However, it is important to note that not all participants may find the cooking class to their liking. Some may find the chef lacking in enthusiasm and not supportive enough. Others may find the location a bit difficult to find. But these are minor issues that do not detract from the overall experience.

The Thai cooking experience is a great choice for those who want to learn Thai cooking. It offers a unique opportunity to learn new skills and come back from Thailand with a lasting souvenir - a new flair to your cooking. The classes are offered in the morning and afternoon, with prices varying depending on the number of dishes you choose to learn.

In conclusion, the Thai cooking experience is a must-try for anyone visiting Thailand. It is a fun, educational, and delicious way to immerse oneself in Thai culture. So, what are you waiting for? Book your Thai cooking experience now!
