I highly recommend this Thai cookery course to anyone seeking a basic introduction to Thai cooking styles. The trip to the market was refreshing and provided a great insight into authentic ingredients. The cooking session was exceptionally well-organized and expertly guided, making the entire day smooth and enjoyable. This experience was even more special as it was a thoughtful birthday gift from a close friend. It was a fabulous day filled with learning, laughter, and delicious food, shared with lovely people who all enjoyed preparing, cooking, and savoring Thai cuisine together.

Fun and informative cooking class. Great to visit the local market before the class to have a greater understanding and appreciation of the ingredients resulting in a delicious and generous meal. Would definitely recommend.

Had a truly excellent time at this cooking school. We loved the local market where we were explained the vegetables, fish, herbs, sauces, spices and all the other ingredients we would use for our menu. The kitchen is open air in a gorgeous traditional wooden house. All the staff were so lovely and helpful, we felt spoiled. The food was amazingly good, I can’t wait to practice the recipes we learned. Piece of advice: have a very light breakfast as the dishes we prepare are large. Take-away boxes are available if you can’t finish your plate.

This experience was awesome! The course starts at the Hua Hin market where we learned about and shopped for the ingredients for our dishes and explored and tasted other local products. Then we headed to the culinary area school which was quaint and where we were completely hands on to make four dishes. We actually took Menu 2 which included red curry paste, red curry pork, papaya salad, chicken and cashew stir fry and mango and sticky rice. We were each given a recipe booklet and a certificate of completion at the end. Our instructor, Beau, spoke English very well and was an excellent teacher! My husband and I had a blast! We highly recommend!!

A really fantastic way to spend the day - and great value! We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the food market where we walked around and were told about the food on offer, with samples of fresh coconut cream. The friendly instructors were with us and bought the food that we'd be cooking that day. Back to the cooking school which is open air, but under a roof in the shade, and a lovely house in Hua Hin. Spent a few hours cooking and eating our four courses and were given the recipes and a certificate at the end. We did menu 4, and would happily go back and do the other menus. Everyone is friendly and helpful - we highly recommend this!

The best cooking class! Brett was very easy to communicate with during the whole booking process. All the staff and chefs were experienced and spoke good English. We also got the market tour which was a good insight to where the fresh produce had been sourced from. Very professional and fun experience.

Loved every bit of it! It was very well organised from start to finish. I appreciate getting that local vibe in the market and the homely feel of the kitchen area. I’ve learned a lot and was happy with the taste of the dishes I’ve made. And on top of that, I got a certificate after finishing the course! Highly recommended.
