AoNang Thai Cookery School
Learn to cook traditional Thai Food at the AoNang Thai Cookery School:
The AoNang Thai Cookery school is Thai cooking at it's most authentic. Ever wondered how it's possible to produce 5 different mouthwatering dishes simultaneously using just one gas burner? Well now's your chance to find out....
After 10 years chefing in Thailands 5 star resteraunts, Sow indulged her passion for food and set up her cooking school in Aonang in 2001. It's even recommended in the lonely planet although I wouldn't hold it against her. I took her course and ate so much I could hardly move. Now writing it all up I feel the need for a 'refresher' course, just thinking about it makes me hungry....
“Sow” has opened the Thai Cookery School in Aonang specifically aimed at teaching overseas visitors the secrets of Thai Cuisine. The school offers both one-day courses as well as special training opportunities on request
