Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $60 a day this sits well below the $156 median for culinary. It is cheaper than 17 of the 18 culinary options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Vietnam
- 2 other options in Vietnam, starting with tailoring and pattern-making in Hoi An from $250.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Oct-Apr. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 5 days, but the honest range is 1 to 14. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
