Had a great time with the team, they were very accommodating and helpful. The market tour was really interesting and good insight into Thai culture. We learned to make four dishes and learned about all the ingredients and how they’re used in lots of different dishes. The team was friendly and knowledgeable and catered to all our needs. Highly recommend this tour.
