Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok's renowned Thai Cookery School has taught thousands of people from all over the world the art of preparing fine Thai cuisine. The morning starts with a visit to the local market with the chef, where guests explore the vast world of ingredients used in Thai cooking and gain insights into the kingdom's fascinating culture and traditions. Having selected the freshest products, guests then return to the kitchen where they transform them, under the guidance of the chef, into four authentic dishes. Guests may also choose to book a private class to create an exquisite and customized menu, again under the guidance of the chef and his team. The gastronomic discovery ends as guests taste their creations at Sala Rim Naam.
