Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Nestled in the Rawai district of Phuket, this cozy cooking school offers visitors the opportunity to learn authentic Thai cuisine in an outdoor kitchen at the home of instructor Eing. The lessons are hands-on: participants are guided through the preparation of various dishes using fresh, organic ingredients. A stroll through the garden allows them to experience the herbs and produce used firsthand.

The courses take place in small groups and can be individually tailored to the dishes participants would most like to learn. This creates a personal and non-standardized learning experience. Participants cook together and then enjoy their meals in the garden. The generous portions often leave enough for a meal at home. Former participants praise Eing's practical cooking techniques and tricks for refining flavors, which go beyond standard recipes and thus make the knowledge directly transferable to home kitchens.

The courses take place seven days a week from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm and offer travelers a flexible half-day activity that can be easily integrated into other plans. Due to the small class sizes, early booking is recommended. Those interested can find information about available courses and make bookings on the cooking school's website at organicthaicooking.com. Comfortable, casual clothing suitable for outdoor cooking is recommended, especially during the warmer months in Phuket.
