So fun and helpful

So fun! Learned so much, food was delicious. Fee was reasonable and the evening class (4hours) was a good length of time. Staff were all awesome and helpful.

Tasty and fun cooking class with vegan options

Really loved the cooking class! The only thing I want to stretch is to only eat a little bit prior to the class, as you'll cook and eat a lot of delicious dishes! There is the option to make your dishes completely vegan, which is what I did. Admission fee was 1300 baht, I think that's a fair price.
