Lovely couple with a wealth of knowledge about thai cooking, ingredients, and regional differences in cuisine. They were able to answer all of my questions and provided cooking advice and recipe ideas beyond the scope of the class. The operation runs very smoothly and the teaching kitchen is a beautiful setting. I had a fantastic time and learned a ton!

      We started at the local Samui market with an in depth explanation of the local produce and the ingredients for today’s class. The venue is beautiful and so is the staff - kind and caring with a wonderful sense of humor. The experience and food were exceptional. Highly recommend

      Pick up available from a variety of hotels. Have a very light breakfast or lunch depending on your tour time - you get to eat what you cook. The Family all pitch in and make it a seamless experience for their guests and you learn a little more about Koh Samui and the way of life. Looking forward to recreating our dishes. Do not require a high level of cooking experience.

      The Tom Yum we made in class was the best I've ever had. The market stop was a revelation—I've never seen such a variety of fruits and vegetables. Thanks for the experience.

      By far the best Thai cooking class I've ever been to. The staff are superb, they really look after you,very polite and professional. This recipe tastes great and my 12 year old daughter loves it when she cooks it herself. You can also cook it at home. Well-equipped and very hygienic facilities. Kitchen studio built with bamboo is special.

      Buonissimi piatti cucinati in ambiente pulito

      Silvia_B, Mar 2025
      Esperienza autentica e genuina, in un ambiente molto pulito, aperto nel verde e con postazioni attrezzate su un tavolo di bamboo I maestri sono stati molto simpatici e ci hanno fornito tanti dettagli e trucchi di cucina, inoltre ci hanno girato le ricette dei piatti cucinati e poi mangiati a pranzo Prima di raggiungere la scuola abbiamo fatto un giro al mercato. Piccolo gruppo, fantastica accoglienza
