It was an amazing and fun experience. We got into thai cooking classics like Tom Yum, Pad Thai, Curry and sticky rice. All the process was really well explained and managed to step up to our first thai cooking experience as true chefs:))

Great experience. I wasn't sure about booking it but I had fun. The Chef/Host made it better and entertaining. Which made the difference for me because I am a Solo Traveler. The Ladies at the class were great as well. Definitely recommend.
