Hi, I’m Chef Tan. After many years as a professional Thai chef, I created this cooking class to share my love for Thai food, fresh ingredients and local culture with guests from around the world.
Our class takes place in my garden kitchen in Rawai, where we grow our own herbs and vegetables. It's a peaceful place where you can explore, cook, taste and learn — and experience the real Thai way of life.
I look forward to welcoming you!
