In reply to Brooke Larsen. I'd do Chiang Mai :) Koh Tao's is fun and great for a rainy day but nothing compared to the one I did in Chiang Mai!

I am going to be in Thailand for my honeymoon in a few weeks! Would you recommend the cooking class in Chiang Mai or in Koh Tao? We only have enough time for one!

In reply to Chris.

The thing is I have a penchant for traveling in places where it’s insanely cheap to eat out (cheaper than cooking for yourself, often!). I’m sure if I’d spent more time on the road in Europe or Australia I’d have become a bit more self sufficient but as it stands… I’m hopeless!

I’m amazed that being a long term traveller hasn’t seen your kitchen expertise grow purely out of necessity!

My first Thai cooking school in Chiang Mai was wonderful, my more recent one (here in Melbourne) disappointing as it was more demonstration than participation.

Always however, the food has remained scrumptious!

In reply to Julia Nix. I'm sure working in the field would certainly give you lots of practice! Sounds like it wouldn't be a bad idea!

They say women should always know how to cook to a man’s heart. I am not a good cook too 🙁 because I never want to do much. Am considering a short stint working in the kitchen. Pay is low in this sector, but I guess it can be my practice.

In reply to Katy.

First of all… thanks for saying hi! 🙂 I am super sad I had to miss the cooking class Ian and his parents did in Bangkok… will definitely look into the one you recommended in the future!

Hi Alex! Long time reader, first time commenter (shame on me, I know! ?) LOVE your blog. Cooking classes are the best. I took a week’s worth at Silom Thai Cooking School in Bangkok last year, and adored it (highly recommend, if anyone’s looking). Now my dad requests homemade Thai every time I visit!

Looks like you created some really delicious food! I love taking cooking classes when I travel, and in fact I just took one yesterday here in Morocco which I loved!
