In our Morning Class we will take you to the Local Market to see the real lifestyle of local people where you can all the same produce, at all different prices. We call this “same same, but different”! At the Local Market, you will be treated like a local person, no special treatment to gain profit for tourists here! Thai markets are very different from western markets, so get ready for some interesting experiences.

Why choose the Evening Cooking Class? Fits around a busy day schedule. First home cooked Thai dinner in Thailand. No need to worry or plan where or what do eat for dinner just come and cook!

Relaxing and easy chill-out place.
