In recent years there has also been a real surge in the number of people who want to learn to cook Thai food, with Thai cooking lessons being a hugely popular activity for many of those who book a holiday club in Thailand.
Many luxury resorts in Thailand even run their own Thai cooking courses such as the Q Signature Resort, a luxury hotel by leading resorts operator Absolute World on the island of Koh Samui.

Located just north of the island’s famous Chaweng beach, on the east coast, Q Signature Resort is a charming and authentic hotel comprising of luxury pavilion and villas scattered spaciously amongst coconut plantations overlooking the sea.
Each stylish villa has its own private pool and deck to relax on, whilst the superior suites also have a spacious garden in which to unwind.
The resort, which was opened several years ago by the same company who is behind another luxury resort in Thailand called The Beach, set to open on Samui next year, also boasts a first-class health spa offering traditional Ayurvedic Thai massage.
For dining options, there is an excellent restaurant called the Royal Siam which serves both authentic Thai and Western food, and if you are one of those on a holiday club in Thailand who are crazy for the former, there are cooking lessons just for you.
Run regularly within the grounds of the resort, the cooking courses are open to chefs of all abilities and will give you the skills to confidently prepare traditional dishes such as tom yam, phad thai and spring rolls on your return home.
