This is the Thai Cooking Class For You

I enjoyed this experience immensely. I love that we were able to customize our meal and if we wanted to purchase additional items at the market, we could. I love that they took us to the Local Market , showed us, and taught us about the Thai ingredients before we even started cooking. Also, I love that I was able to prepare the entire meal by myself and seasoned the food to my liking. Also, the environment was clean and they had everything, we needed prepared for us before we even began.

Fabulous, even in the pouring rain

What a fantastic experience we had. Lucky was superb, full of fascinating information about the country's culture, history, ingredients and meals, but in a fun and relaxed way. We learnt so much about the melting pot of cultures here. We ate meals from China, Malaysia, Burma and Thailand. To see the energy of the local market who supply all the restaurants and locals alike was fabulous. And to meet the restaurant owners was great too. Go hungry... there is a lot of food!

ATV Tour in Phuket with Big Buddha Visit

Faith_B, Apr 2026

Worth it , possibly plan your own transp

Just wanted to share my experience — overall it was amazing thanks to the tour guides. They truly made the day fun, safe, and memorable. My only real critique is the check‑in and checkout process. It feels rushed when they want you to sign paperwork, but then you end up waiting forever when it’s time to go home. This excursion was great. Definitely wear something you don’t mind getting dirty because you will get dusty. We even got dusty before taking pictures at the Big Buddha, but honestly it all flowed together and didn’t ruin anything. The tour guides were incredible — bring cash to tip them because they work hard to make sure you get good memories, great photos, and feel comfortable, especially during the zip lining. My only “grow” is better communication with drop‑off. We waited about 20 minutes for a ride back, asked about it, and were told it would be another 15 minutes. At that point we were tired, dirty, and ready to go, so we just used Grab (their version of Uber). The price of the excursion is absolutely worth everything you get to experience, but we didn’t use their transportation again since we already had a ride there and didn’t want to wait 40 minutes to get home, especially being an hour away.

Fantastic enjoyable...

Fantastic enjoyable morning learning to cook 3 dishes with the delightful Wooddy. He explained what and why certain ingredients were used and his team of helpers were so friendly. The food was excellent the best that we have had in Thailand and we made it ourselves. Do not eat before you go there is so much food. A fun activity would highly recommend
