Program details

The cooking school of the prestigious Blue Elephant Restaurant in Bangkok is not the usual quick Thai cooking course that enables you to cook some typical dishes, but it's an introduction to traditional flavors, ingredients and cooking methods. The half-day class, available in the morning or afternoon, is the most suitable to understand in a professional and elegant way how some of the most famous Thai dishes are born.
