Would you like to learn how to cook Thai food in a Thai person's home on Koh Tao?
Take a cooking class with Parawan, who has lived on Koh Tao for over 10 years. She invites you to come and take a Thai cooking lesson at her home. The maximum number of students that she can take for a cooking class is 4.
Whoever books in first for a particular day gets to choose which dishes the class will be cooking, so it's worth booking early. You can also check if there are already people booked in and what will be on the menu before you book. Parawan is flexible with the start time for the courses—contact her for more details.
Parawan has a young family and runs classes after her children have gone to school at her home in Sairee, so she can start the cooking class between 9:30am and 2pm.
Taking a cooking class on Koh Tao to learn how to cook authentic Thai food is a great skill to take home from your trip to Thailand. You can then reproduce some of your favourite dishes at home whenever you like and impress your friends and family with your new cooking skills.
You will learn to make 3 dishes during the cooking course. If you have any favourite dishes then let Parawan know and she can teach you those. If you aren't sure, she can suggest dishes to cook with a bit of information from you (e.g., spicy or not spicy, vegetarian, dislike fish, etc.). Whoever books in first for a particular day will get to select the dishes that the class will make—so it's worth booking in advance if you have particular favourites.
