Fun culinary experience
Very fun experience. Enjoyed experiencing the morning market. Had lots of good food for breakfast. Cooked such a great variety of Thai foods. Instructors were knowledgeable and kind and made the experience very fun. Finished the day off at the sticky waterfalls nearby which was mind boggling.
