After a rebranding, Evason Resort’s modern and spacious cooking school has doubled down on its plant-based principles. The 100-percent vegan courses, which can last a weekend or months on end, promise instruction and equipment a cut above the norm—all just steps from Pak Nam Pran Beach. A weekend-intensive course might teach you all there is to know about non-dairy “mylks” and have you mastering the art of detoxifying salads. Stay a night and you can have full run of the brunch buffet’s exhaustive vegan station, too.
