With the holiday season swiftly approaching, Dusit International is offering guests a little extra this summer:  Thai Cooking Classes.
Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket offers regular Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Thai Cooking Classes at the Ruen Thai Restaurant to all guests, featuring:
  • 2 hour class conducted by Thai Executive Sous Chef Pachon Pakham
  • Guidance in the preparation of an appetizer / salad, soup and a main dish
  • Recipes for all dishes prepared
  • Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket souvenir apron
  • Dinner at Ruen Thai Restaurant after the class
Thai favorites such as Tom Yum Goong (spicy and sour soup with prawns, lime, lemongrass and chili), Gai Phed Seeda (Red Curry with Roasted Duck) and Som Tum (traditional Thai style spicy papaya salad) are just a few of the favorites on the menu for THB 1,800++ per person per class (approx US$60).
Dusit Thani Pattaya offers Thai Cooking Classes every Wednesday conducted by the Chef and his team at The Bay, overlooking the picturesque Gulf of Siam, with the option of selecting the course featuring one, or four dishes.  Both courses include a photo, souvenir apron, certificate and Dusit Cook Book for THB 1,500 or THB3,500 (US$ 50 / US$120).
At Dusit Thani Hua Hin the Chef takes all the strain when he shares his knowledge in a complimentary demonstration class at Benjarong Restaurant every Tuesday afternoon.  One dish is demonstrated weekly, rotating traditional Thai favorites and offering insights and tips for guests into spices and techniques used in the professional preparation of popular dishes.
For those interested in professional classes, Le Cordon Bleu Dusit, located next to Dusit Thani Bangkok, offers 30-week / 3-term courses resulting in a Diplôme de Cuisine Thaïe.  Courses are conducted in English and include the art of fruit and vegetable carving as well as the more traditional subjects.  Short “Culinary Discovery Programmes” are also offered throughout the year.
