Thai cooking is renowned around the world for being one of the most diverse, tasty styles of cuisine. Most holidaymakers visiting Phuket will try at least some Thai food whilst they are on the island. Fewer attempt to actually learn to cook Thai food.

Thai food combines fresh local produce with pungent spices, to create an aroma and taste like no other. Good Thai food is unbeatable, and certainly something which many people develop a taste for whilst on vacation. Taking a Thai cooking course whilst staying on Phuket means you can still appreciate that taste when you head home.

Thai cooking courses, are a great way to learn how to cook authentic Thai food whilst on vacation. Most of the Thai cooking courses available in Patong only take a day or two to complete, and teach the student how to prepare several popular traditional Thai dishes.

As part of the cooking course, students are taught how to identify the best fresh produce to use in the preparation of Thia dishes. This involves being given a guided tour of a local Thai fresh food market, with instruction on how to choose the best ingredients. You will purchase the ingredients you will be using during the rest of the course.

Learning to cook Thai food is a great way to take a taste of your vacation home with you, and most courses are relatively inexpensive. Courses are taught in a small group, usually no more than ten or twelve people will be taking the course at the same time. Once you finish the course, you will be able to reproduce a small range of real Thai dishes, which will taste authentic.
