Thai food is one of the top attractions in Thailand so it is unsurprising that many visitors wish to learn how to cook Thai food. Consequently, numerous Thai cooking schools have popped up throughout the Kingdom, providing half-day, full day, and even week-long Thai cooking courses. Nearly every tourist destination, from Phuket to Chiang Mai has various options, but they generally follow the same procedure: First, guests go on a market tour to learn about the many ingredients used in Thai food; then students select up to five different recipes, including curries, spicy salads, and desserts; next the instructor gives a demonstration in Thai cooking technique for each dish after which the students try on their own, while assistants lend a helping hand; finally after all the dishes are prepared, students sit down for a feast on their meal –which, while often too much food for one individual to eat may be shared by family or friends who meet you at the cooking school.Cooking classes also typically include a recipe book for cooking Thai food at home and can cater specifically to vegetarians.
