Im currently in Thailand on a DTV visa and for the soft power skill i chose the cooking school option, specifically Arun Thai Cooking School. Im very satisfied with them. The staff are extremely kind and helpfu, the classes are well structured, enjoyable and give real insight into Thai cuisine. The school is also easy to reach by MRT, which is a big plus.

If you’re looking for a cooking school for the DTV visa or simply a good cooking school in Bangkok, i think this is a great choice.

How many days / hours a week is the cookery course? I'm interested in doing this but will also need time to carry on working remotely.

This cooking school also handles visa processing. But i handled it myself, using the documentation i received after paying for the course.
