Top Bangkok Tours

Perhaps one of the lasting memories of a trip to Asia, is the variety and spice of the local cuisine. For many Western people, Asian food is distinctly different for what we are used to eating, although during the last thirty years in particular, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Thai Restaurants have flourished in Western Cities, often replacing the High Street food vendors from their own nationals.

Thai food now is undoubtedly popular throughout the world, and the opportunity to learn its secrets, appeals to many visitors in Thailand. What better way to learn, but by visiting a teaching establishment and be taught by Thai experts, in their own country, using their own ingredients.

Many Hotels offer lessons but the Bai Pai Cooking School is an effective way to learn, in a traditional wooden Thai house, with open plan cooking area and a relaxed informative atmosphere. Your guide will help you select your ‘set menu choice’, from the seven available, with simple dishes like ‘gang keaw wan gai’ (green chicken curry) and ‘por peea tod’ (spring rolls) that are popular with foreigners, to more sophisticated dishes that you will need, for that coming Dinner Party.

Of course they all say its ‘all in the ingredients’, so you will have to learn about Thai Spices, Herbs, Sauces, Vegetables and just about everything else that you need for each dish, and hopefully is available at home, in your own country. And then there’s the cooking, but don’t worry, help is constantly on hand. The best part comes last, when you get to sample what you and your Thai Chef colleagues have made.

Book through your Hotel or local Travel Agent Tour Desk and remember to allow enough time to get there in the traffic. Good Cooking!
