Each student of this Bangkok cooking school will be provided with an individual cooking station and equipment, where you'lll learn how to make three different Thai main dishes, a dessert, as well as how to make curry paste from scratch! The instructors will tailor your experience to your culinary skill level, so everyone can follow along. Vegetarian dishes are also available, and special attention to allergies are made.
