No instant ingredients, no shortcuts—just fire, fresh herbs, and bamboo as your pots, plates, and utensils.Unlike standard cooking classes in a kitchen, this experience is all about learning survival-style techniques. You'll start by making your own coconut milk, picking fresh herbs and vegetables from the farm, and preparing rice wrapped in forest leaves to cook in bamboo tubes. Your host, Yoo, makes the experience even more special—he’s funny, full of stories about Khao Sok, and has deep knowledge of Thai herbs.
