I have experienced Silom Thai Cooking School in Silom, Bangkok. Under the teaching of eating and drinking, I believe anyone can easily enjoy this cooking class. Although they can’t really learn to cook Thai food, they will definitely know Thai food. Have a new understanding.If you have experienced Thai cuisine courses in a certain program in Thailand, I highly recommend that you try other more different courses to deepen your understanding of Thai cuisine and culture.

The location of the fruit carving course is May Kaidee Oasis. The place is quite wide, but it is located in the alley and it is not easy to find the way on your own.Therefore, those who sign up for the fruit carving course must first go to the May Kaidee Tanao restaurant to meet up on their own. The location is located at the end of Khao San Road, in the alley behind Burger King. If you are staying in Khao San Road, it can be said to be quite convenient.Participating in various courses of May Kaidee, they are all assembled in the restaurant, and then guided to the place of class by the staff. After all, the restaurant is still mainly providing catering services!

May Kaidee Fruit Carving Course Introduction
The Fruit Carving originated in central Thailand. According to legend, he was a court servant who used fruit carvings to decorate the water lanterns when making the Loi Kratong festival (Loi Kratong festival). It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Has become a traditional art in Thailand.In fact, after completing the entire fruit carving course, Wendy felt that the candle carvings commonly seen in Thai night markets seemed to be derived from the same carving art.
In the fruit carving course of the whole class, the teacher will first introduce the knives, and then ask the trainees to sharpen the knives to warm up, and then use tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, carrots, watermelons and other fruits and vegetables to carve various leaves and flowers. In time, you can also sculpt simple animals from fruits.After finishing the carving of all the fruits, the teacher will assist the students in arranging the plates, and then the teacher will comment on each person's work, and finally take a group photo!
