On the first day, Ms. Yoon, Dae Sook from Myeong Ga in Bangkok led the class, and 2nd day was Ms. Cho, Kyung Sook from Doriwon in Pattaya trained students by their long experience and cooking skill. Both instructors showed and taught students how to cook different type of Kimchi using cabbage, radish, cucumber and papaya, and the popular Korean menu, such as Kimchijeon (Kimchi pancake), Bulgogi and Japchae.

Some students have business idea using their learning after the class. Mr. Chuchart, the owner of 'Pao Lao Gong', the well-known Salapao restaurants said, "Many Thais like Kimchi, so I came to the class to learn it and create 'Kimchi Salapao' in my restaurants." Ms. Latte, the owner of the beauty shop also said, "I've tried Kimchi in the convenience store, but it is not my taste. I would like to learn how to make tasty Kimchi and sell it in my shop, if my friends and customers also like my Kimchi."
