Eating plays a very important part in ensuring a trip abroad is memorable. How much more memorable would that holiday be if some of the local dishes you ate were prepared by your own hand? You may have dabbled with Thai curries or perfected the art of the Cambodian fish soup but the chefs at our selection of Southeast Asian hotels can give you a deeper insight into your favourite dishes and their ingredients as well as offering you a few tricks of the trade.
La Residence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang teaches step-by-step Laotian cuisine in a historic setting, and Sarojin Resort in Khao Lak takes you into the rainforest as part of its Thai cookery course. At the Hoi An Riverside Resort you'll cycle to a local market with the chef, while the Puri Bagus resorts in Bali provide an extended cooking experience that involves both their Candidasa and Lovina hotels. When you've mastered your favourite local cuisine, you'll be able to offer you friends and family back home a flavour of your holiday that doesn't involve endless photos.
