Terrific experience, one we can easily recommend. The market tour was informative and interesting. We prepared four dishes, each of which was among the best food we’ve had in Thailand. Our guide and teacher, who told us to call her Ooh La La, was wonderful. Altogether a great outing, particularly good value for the cost.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience both in the market and at the venue.
Very well organised and you get to eat the food you cook.
Another plus was meeting a great group of ladies which enhanced my experience.
Thoroughly recommended!
Will be sad to leave Thailand..

A food tour is probably the best way to experience a new destination and of the many I have done on my first visit to Thailand, this hands on cooking class was the best. I have come to appreciate Thai food back home but my experiences here in Thailand are another thing all together.
To see and learn where the chefs and locals buy their fresh ingredients and then to put them to use in a fine kitchen was simply delicious!
I really recommend this tour.

The cooking class was an awesome experience and I highly recommend this. The meals were delicious and filling. Make sure you go on a empty stomach.

Tour of the market a great way to start the experience. The cooking school was a well oiled machine...but more like a dance where the items were prepped just enough and ready for us to slice and dice and cook. Then we would leave the prep area and head to our table to dine on the 1st course as they cleaned and prepped and then set out the next items and cookware for us . It was all seemless. Oooh la la, the master chef was thorough and entertaining. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recc.

Excellent experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, learnt a lot and with a ratio of one chef to 6 students, it left time for everyone to get to grip with everything that went on.

Absolutely enjoyable activity to do with friends and the family. The market experience before the cooking class is a great way to learn about Thai food and the various ingredients.

The cooking class was good fun and the market tour was great. Make sure you wear closed shoes as there’s a fish market. O was a great teacher and Greg the owner was able to tell us about the business. Don’t eat before you go… you’re going to eat like a king. Book and enjoy a great cooking experience.

Simply an amazing experience with super friendly staff and everything professionally organised. Simple steps so kids can follow and great dishes that were enjoyed during the 4 hours we attended
Best recommendation for anyone that considers joining.

Wouldn’t reschedule my husbands class as he had woken with severe diarrhoea and was unable to attend.

The local food market was a fantastic start to the day. The premises where we cooked was new, clean and well designed
The dishes we cooked were delicious
Sophie_B, May 2024
Fun and informative cooking class. We enjoyed cooking up traditional dishes and were very full by the end of it. Would recommend if you are in Hua Hin!
George_S, Apr 2024
Enjoying the great day/experiance with like minded people from different parts of the world. Loved the vibe of the buidling/school they took us to. I would reccommend they feature more images on their online sites like website, youtube, Trip Advisor etc. to show people the great vibe you get in that environtment...
Michael_B, Mar 2024
Definitely a worthwhile experience, both visiting the wet market and then the food preparation. Managed to escape with all fingers intact and made some tasty dishes.
Pick up from and return to hotel included as well as a copy of the recipes we made.

From start to finish, this was a fantastic, delicious, inexpensive 4 hour immersive Thai experience with life long impact! Communication from time of initial booking (with quick responses to questions) to e mail reminders of start time and pickup location was excellent. Including participants in the preliminary open market ingredients shopping was MOST helpful to inform us of what to look for when food shopping on our own. The humor of our guide was an added bonus! Our teachers did a great job modeling prep and cooking of recipes we prepared. Our four course menu was easy enough for amatures to prepare but, varied enough to serve family or friends an ample well balanced, delicious meal! Friendly dialogue among the perfect size group created a family type atmosphere that made for a most enjoyable shared authentic Thai cooking/dining experience I HIGHLY recommend!

Karolina_M, Feb 2024
Great experience - very well organized, a lot of knowledge but also very professional. One of the best cooking classes in Thailand!
Beatrice_P, Dec 2023
everything great, very well organized.
the kitchen was very good , have learned a lot from Thai Kitchen.
Lisa_P, Dec 2023
I went to 3 cooking classes on our trip to Thailand & Vietnam and this was my favorite. You have your own prep & cooking station and you totally prepare your own meal and sit down to eat each course. The food and instructions were wonderful, the setting was awesome and it was totally top notch in every way.
Stephanie_C, Nov 2023
We had a great time cooking with the group. The step-by-step instructions and explanations about the ingredients made it easy and enjoyable.
DonBeatty, Oct 2023
Amazing experience. The market was incredible. The cooking classroom venue was very relaxing and modern. The food turned out so good. It was hard to believe we cooked it ourselves. Lol! Highly recommend this experience for everyone!
Pierre_B, Sep 2023
We enjoyed this tour very much - we are couple who likes to cook and this was a very unique experience for both of us. It starts officially at the local morning market, the lovely ladies (tour guides) took us through the market guiding us and explaining many of the foods found in the market - many of which we would cook with- so informative and the staff was very open and welcoming and genuinely appeared to appreciate our curiosity and answered our questions and once completed we were brought to a lovely location and did some wonderful cooking. It was a really rewarding experience - we cooked green curry - Tom Yum - Pad Thai - and a refreshing dessert. There is a lot to eat overall - but you can have takeaway. It was very organized and the explanations and support from the wonderful staff made it all the more enriching. I am not so intimidated to go to the market now and I also know what is in the foods we cooked - helping me to be more open to try new Thai foods. A great cultural tour. bravo!
Thomas_V, Aug 2023
Great Place and the concept was a good experience. The people was engaged and focused so all had a good time.
Susan_H, Mar 2023
Very well run course and excellent tuition.
A great walk round the market and then the opportunity to cook
The lady who took us round the market and did the cooking demonstration was patient and informative
