Delicious Thai Recipes You Can Cook at Home

Sampling food from different cultures is one of the many reasons why we’re all looking forward to travel again. It’s also one of the first things we miss when we land back to our home countries.

For Club Wyndham Asia members who are not based in Thailand and are missing its flavourful, fragrant and colourful dishes, we’ve asked Chef Jaturon ‘Eddy’ Homkaew at Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay for some of Thailand’s most popular dishes you can cook at home.

Enjoy!
