Organic Soap Workshop in Thailand

[Loveyou3000]

Hi there,

Does anyone know anyone or anywhere that organizes soap-making class or workshop in Thailand? 

I just moved in with my husband who has an expat assignment here.

I am particularly interested in "Organic" soap-making to make soaps for my family and friends.

Tried google these key words but came with little info.

With wide variety of Thai herbs, think it would be a great to make homemade, herbal, organic soaps as souvenirs for friends too.

Please advise if any of you have come across this kind of courses.

Thanks in advance

Gina

During the "wait" step, watch Fight Club.
