If you are a fan of Thai food, why not build a holiday around the country’s great culinary heritage? As well as visiting cultural landmarks and beaches, you’d try fabulous Thai dishes in special local restaurants and take part in cookery classes – shopping for ingredients at a local market in the morning and learning how to transform them into a knock-out curry later – under the guidance of a gourmet chef.

We also know where to sample the finest regional dishes:

• Spend an evening touring Bangkok's street food hot spots with our specialist guide.
• Dine in a restaurant on the outskirts of the capital renowned for its definitive pad thai.
• Enjoy a bowl of Chiang Mai’s tastiest khao soi in the backstreets of the Old City.
• Learn how to make spicy papaya salad, son tum, in the region where it was invented – Isaan, in northeast Thailand.

By the end of a two-week culinary tour we devised, you’ll have eaten and learned to make some of Thailand’s most wonderful dishes – in totally authentic settings – and will return home with new cookery skills that will impress friends and family!
