About this tour
Spend four hours learning to cook four signature Thai dishes in Hua Hin, starting with a market run through the century-old Talad Chat Chai. You'll work alongside instructors in a traditional teak house, preparing Panang curry paste, chicken curry, a spicy pork salad, basil stir-fry, and coconut dessert. The morning includes shopping, cooking, and eating what you've made.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor early and head straight to Talad Chat Chai market, where you'll pick out fresh herbs, proteins, and produce for the day's cooking. Back at the teak house, you'll prep ingredients station-style under guidance, then cook each dish in sequence. Expect hands-on chopping, pounding pastes, and managing multiple woks. You'll eat your creations as lunch midway through. By the end, you'll understand the technique behind building Thai flavours—the balance of spice, salty fish sauce, lime, and fresh herbs—rather than just following recipes.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes for the market; it's wet and slippery. Bring an apron if you prefer. The pacing is relaxed; instructors adjust to your speed. Pickup and drop-off cover Hua Hin town. Bottled water and tea are included; soft drinks cost extra.
