What to expect
Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of Thailand with our exclusive Thursday Market Tour and Lunch Course. Your culinary adventure begins in the morning with a guided trip to a bustling local market nearby. Here, you will discover essential Thai spices and herbs while hand-picking fresh produce for the day's cooking (if the market is open). Enjoy a special lunch course where you prepare and cook the fresh ingredients you gathered straight from the local market.
After sourcing your ingredients, you will head to the kitchen to begin your hands-on class. Your group will collaborate to choose four traditional Thai dishes from our ten-dish menu to prepare. While the dishes are selected together, you maintain complete control over your individual workstation, allowing you to customize your preferred meat choices and personal spice levels. Every dish on the menu can also be seamlessly adapted into a fully vegetarian or vegan meal to suit your dietary needs.
Under the expert guidance of our chefs, you will learn the techniques required to master classics like Tom Yam soup, Phad Thai, or rich Green and Panang curries. Once the cooking is complete, sit down to savor the special lunch you have prepared. The experience runs on Thursdays from 10:00 to 14:00 for 1,900 Baht per person. It includes complimentary two-way transport between Saladan and Kantiang Bay, welcome drinks, a recipe book, a certificate of completion, and takeaway containers for any leftovers to share with family.
