Half-Day Thai Cooking Class by Passion Food School

Passion Food is a small cooking school on a quiet lane in the old city, and its half-day class is a market visit followed by five dishes you cook yourself, one person to one wok. It suits travellers staying in the old town who want a short, hands-on class without a long transfer.

The morning class collects you between 08:30 and 09:00 and starts with a walk through a fresh market, where your teacher explains the ingredients and gives you time to look around. Back at the school you have a welcome drink, then build your own menu: one dish from each of the categories on offer, which cover an appetizer, a stir-fry, a soup, a curry paste and curry, a dessert and a drink. You cook, you eat, and photos taken during the class are shared with you afterwards along with a recipe book.

Vegetarian substitutions such as tofu instead of chicken are available on request. The morning class ends around 13:30. An evening class is also offered. Free pickup and drop-off is included within a 2 km radius of the school.
