A must do activity - This experience is exactly how it is described. First a visit around the market to see where the ingredients were from then learning to cook 4 dishes at their nearby kitchen. So well organized. Lots of help if needed by staff but recipes were simple but very tasty. So much food to eat. Was such a fun and delicious experience - would highly recommend.

Money and Time Well Spent! - We made four authentic Thai dishes, and spent time in the market. It was valuable because I learned more about the food and culture. Also, it was great tasting the food in the market.
