On Monday, September 16, 2024, the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University, through the Administrative Affairs and International Relations division, organized a Thai Cooking Class as part of the Welcome New Chula Engineering International Student Program for the 1st semester of 2024.
.
The event aimed to introduce international students to the basics of Thai cooking through hands-on lessons, featuring popular dishes such as Som Tum Thai (Green Papaya Salad), Larb Gai (Spicy Minced Chicken Salad), and a traditional Thai dessert, Bua Loy. The students not only learned how to prepare these dishes but also had the opportunity to cook and taste their own creations.

The Thai Cooking Class served as more than just a culinary experience. It provided international students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in Thai culture while fostering cultural exchange through food, as students from various countries shared their own culinary traditions.
