    Andres_A, Dec 2025
    The course was good but I recommend to book it dirextly. Viator charged us 17% more than from those who booked directly.

    A Delicious Food Excursion

    David_K, Sep 2024
    A very well organized excursion. Pick up from hotel and then to a local market where the chef have interesting and cultural commentary on the various ingredients and produce used for cooking. Then off to the cooking area which had cooking stations for everyone and a communal dining table to enjoy our feast. We chose to make prawn pad Thai - Tom kha chicken soup - sweet n sour beef - massamun curry chicken. It was such a fun night interacting with the other guests and a delicious dinner that we prepared. Highly recommend!

    We loved this cooking class! Going around the market and being given a background of the ingredients and typical Thai diet was really interesting. Our chef was so friendly and funny! The food we made was easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend taking this class!

    Wonderful experience.

    Phil_L, Jun 2024
    Really informative and interesting. Visited the local market and cooked four dishes. The chef was engaging and easy to follow his instructions.

    Amazing experience

    Sarka_H, Jun 2024
    We began at the local market where the chef introduced us to the ingredients and taught us about local flavors. Then we headed to the cooking facility and prepared four dishes: papaya salad, pad thai, fish curry, and cashew chicken. Each dish turned out super delicious. Everything at the cooking stations was well-prepared, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks to the whole team for this unforgettable experience. We can't wait to cook Thai food at home now!

    Recommend for adults. Don’t take your kids with you.

    Lisa_B, Mar 2024
    We had a really nice cooking experience for a price which might be little high. Unfortunately in the system we were able to get tickets for the children as well so that we thought they could be part of the experience. That’s not possible. We were lucky we had our IPad with us so that they can watch tv for about 2hours.

    Highly recommended: a cooking class with a difference

    Darryl_G, Jan 2024
    Super friendly chef and crew, an interesting market tour, step-by step prep and cooking instructions ending with a great lunch. Suitable for singles and couples.

    Thai Cooking Class - Great experience

    Rene_S, Aug 2023
    Well organised and fun. The hosts are great and I was impressed how they guided us through the different meals. At the end we were proud that we cooked 4 different Thai meals.

    Great time learning with a pro

    Marcus_D, Aug 2023
    Great value especially for all the insights. Loved the recipes and the well thought out programme. Free hotel pickup and drop off was amazing

    Awesome experience 5 star ⭐️ service

    Jenny_C, Jun 2023
    Highly recommend this class these guys offer a first class service. They pick you up take you to the local markets then to the cooking school which is in a beautiful garden. They are both chefs so know their stuff. Super friendly and funny. We made 4 dishes Tom Yum Soup, chicken with cashew nuts, Pad Siew noodles and a green curry. The chef made us a yummy coconut dessert. I took my 13 year old son and they were really patient with him and we both enjoyed it immensely.

    Well organized, delicious cooking class

    Aleksei_F, Mar 2023
    The cooking class was a lot of fun and we made some delicious dishes. The class was well organized and communication was very good. We were a small group and could decide on 4 dishes to make. It felt like too much food in the end, I think the portions could have been half as big or maybe there could be fewer dishes. Although it was all very tasty! The market visit in the morning was cool, but a bit short.

    Det bedste madkursus

    RikkeKoefoed_N, Jul 2024
    Lærte fire klassiske retter, som man selv er med til at vælge. Fik en række grundlæggende introduktioner til thaimad, som vi selv kan arbejde videre med.
