This is something I should have done before selecting where to do my Cooking Course in Paris. But after weeks of trawling websites, Tripadvisor, LonelyPlanet and blogs, here is my compilation of the top Cookery Courses in Thailand. I do hope you find it useful while picking where to learn to cook Thai cuisine while in Thailand. I know I will.

Disclaimer: This list is in no-way comprehensive, please feel free to add more in the comments, which I would be thrilled to update to the list. This list has been compiled with a view to short 1 day and half day amateur and first timer courses. Most of these places do offer longer and full-time and professional courses as well as fruit carving. But I haven't included those details in the table.
