    My husband Angus and I spent a wonderful day at Go Samui Cooking Class and it was easily the best thing we’ve done on our holiday. From the moment we started, the energy was fantastic. We learnt so much more than just recipes; we learnt about the balance of Thai flavours and the culture behind the dishes. The food we cooked was delicious (the green curry OMG maybe the best meal we’ve had here!) and the atmosphere was so welcoming. It was all extremely hygienic and clean. O was able to cater the dishes to vegetarian very easily! A huge thank you for such a memorable day—Angus and I can’t wait to try these recipes back home!

    This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip. The experience started with a guided tour of a local food market, where we learned about the produce, spices, and ingredients we’d be using later. It was fascinating to see everything in context and really understand Thai cooking from the ground up. After the market, we went to their cooking facility, which was exceptionally well set up—clean, organized, and clearly designed to make the experience enjoyable and hands-on. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout, striking the perfect balance between teaching and letting you do things yourself. What really stood out was how well the class was structured: you genuinely feel like you’re learning new techniques and dishes, but nothing feels overwhelming or intimidating. It was engaging, fun, and accessible even if you’re not an experienced cook. The hosts—a husband and wife team—were fantastic. Knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely funny, they created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable Thai cooking experience. We’d absolutely do it again.

    After we were picked up promptly at our hotel Geng took us to the local market and showed us many ingredients used in Thai cuisine. We then went to his home where he and his wife directed the cooking class. We made 4 local dishes that were incredibly delicious! I definitely recommend this class. They are so knowledgeable and friendly!

    We were picked up by minibus from outside our hotel. We were then driven to a local market where we were met by O – wife of the owner, Geng. O showed us around the market, explaining the spices, vegetables and seafood that was on display. Really interesting! Then we were taken to the GoSamuiCook kitchen. This is set-up in a natural environment, which is spotlessly clean, fully equipped for groups and is surrounded by Geng’s garden – from which they gather vegetables, fruit and herbs to use in the cooking class. We were shown how to make fresh coconut milk and got to try the process ourselves. Then we started cooking four delicious dishes. We were given clear instructions on how to do so, so even people who had never cooked before could create the dishes. The recipes and cooking process were simple but oh so delicious! There were long tables set up so that the group could sit down to eat together – which made it a really nice social occasion too. Geng, O and the helpers have really thought about everything to make this a wonderful sensory experience. My only regret is that I couldn’t go every day to try all the recipes out as the menu changes daily.

    This was a fantastic morning learning about traditional Thai family cooking. It was a very friendly experience led by O, and there was more food than I would ordinarily eat in a say, all of which was delicious. I highly recommend the experience.

  • The best cooking class I've ever attended.

    For me, it was the best cooking class I've ever attended. We made by far the best spring rolls and they were not as small as in other cooking classes I attended. The Phad Thai was also incredibly delicious. What I particularly liked was that the portions were so large that you could still take something for home. I don't know that either. And the family was incredibly nice and helpful. Should we fly to Koh Samui again, I would attend the cooking class directly again.
