Had the best Pad Thai on the island

Geng is such a lovely person, you had time to have your food made according to allergies and also how you wanted it best. You were supported with everything and a lot of knowledge was passed on by Geng. The recipes were great and I ate the best Pad Thai there! Thanks for the recipes and highly recommended!!!!!

Wonderful Tour, Outstanding Guide, and Great Memories

We had a fantastic day exploring Koh Samui with this tour. Although there hadn’t been enough rainfall for Na Muang Waterfall to be flowing, the team quickly adapted the itinerary and took us to an elephant sanctuary instead. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and showed their commitment to making sure guests still had a memorable day. Our guide, Jom, was outstanding. He was exceptionally polite, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about Koh Samui’s history, culture, religion, and nature throughout the trip. He answered every question with patience and made everyone feel welcome. The Jeep ride through the mountains offered breathtaking viewpoints, the visits to the temples and the Magic Garden were fascinating, and the traditional Thai lunch was delicious with beautiful scenery. Despite the change in plans, the day exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a fun, authentic, and well-organized way to discover Koh Samui, I highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Jom as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience. Thank you for a memorable day!

Very Worthwhile

I highly recommend this for anyone travelling to Thailand who'd love to try and make some delicious Thai food when they return home. We learnt so much about Thai ingredients. We were collected at our hotel on time by our very friendly guide who's English was excellent. We got to make 4 delicious dishes in a lovely outdoor garden kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed eating everything. Thanks for an excellent day

Fun evening

We had a fun evening touring the garden and learning Thai recipes. The food was one of the best we had in our time in Thailand. We made curry paste from scratch which was very interesting. Come hungry as there was plenty of good! Tom and Lynn were wonderful hosts. We would highly recommend if you are visiting Koh Samui!

The course is delivered by...

The course is taught by an outstanding cook. We first go to the morning market of Lamai which is a real local market. Then we head to his house which is surrounded by a small garden with orchard and vegetable garden. The instructor is very attentive, didactic and professional.
