5.00We prepared traditional Thai dishes. Before that, we visited a market and bought the ingredients directly. Super nice team on site, they pay attention to preferences, allergies, etc. in their preparation. The food was super delicious. Highly recommended. It saved our rainy day. Thank you!

5.00My wife and I did the afternoon cooking class on 30th May. We had so much fun. The pick up was smooth from our hotel. Our host was very friendly and good chat. The market was eye-opening. We learnt lots and nothing was pushed on us (like on other tours). And now we’re basically expert chefs :p
Fabulous experience

5.00This was amazing and so much fun. We got to see the market and buy genuine curry paste hand made. It smells so good!! And organic raw coconut oil, so good for your skin! The cooking class was delicious, switching between spring rolls and papaya salad, then panang chicken or prawns ,or Tom yum soup. All dishes I was eager to capture the authentic Thai way of cooking! The nuances (crushing the lemongrass and onion) make ALL the difference, and this was delicious!

5.00The whole experience was amazing. We were picked up and returned in air conditioned comfort from our hotel. The first stop...the local markets to get fresh ingredients. Then off to the class. Cooking is with individual, one on one attention , in a great atmosphere. The end result being a unique Thai cooking experience, with all participants enjoying outstanding results and a delicious 4 course lunch at the end. Our host and her team, all so professional and excellent teachers. Incredible value for money.

5.00We were picked up from our hotel lobby and taken to the local market. We were also given a choice of what dishes we were going to cook later. The guide explained in detail some of the ingredients we were going to cook with later and also answered any questions. The guide was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. When we arrived at the cooking class, we were made to feel very welcome. We were given drinks and we met Chef Wandee which was a great privilege. We didn't know that she was a celebrity, with her own TV series. The kitchen was well organised and well equipped. We were encouraged to wash our hands before cooking. We were given clear instructions on what we had to do. There were also some trainee chefs there helping us out and it was a great learning atmosphere as we were all participating at our own levels. Chef Wandee and all the trainees were very encouraging and we also had a lot of fun. We ate the food after we cooked it - two starters: prawns wrapped in noodles and deep fried; papaya salad and two mains: red curry with chicken and prawn Pad Thai. It depends on your appetite but for me, I had very little for breakfast. I think it is a good idea not to eat very much beforehand. It was a great experience and well worth it, not only if you are interested in cooking, but also if you want an insight into Thai culture. I definitely recommend this. It was well worth the money.
