Adventurous Cooking Class in a Jungle Kitchen
About
In order to arrive at the Jungle Kitchen at Chilling Hill, you need to take a trip through the rugged interior of the island to get to the heart of Koh Samui. This off-road trip will take you through stunning durian orchards along a mountain ridge. Your arrival will be welcomed with a drink made from fruits of the gardens. The gardens are abundant with food and there you'll find some of the ingredients needed for the class. You are invited to walk around the wild gardens to hand pick them fresh from nature.
At the Jungle Kitchen, you'll first learn all about the ingredients needed to make three traditional Thai dishes. Surrounded by the wild jungle, you'll prepare the three dishes with traditional tools and techniques that give you a real sense of the Traditional Thai kitchen.
Together, you'll enjoy the fruits of your labour on a balcony overlooking the jungle. Before leaving the wilderness, you'll have time for a stroll to the nearby panoramic viewpoint with a breathtaking 270-degree view out to the neighbouring island Koh Phangan.
Because the classes have a maximum number of 8 guests, the class is always personal and intimate.
