We weren’t sure what to expect in our first overseas cooking class and it was extremely enjoyable. The Operator was great in following up on questions we had before the class and taking care of us. Our instructor, Sky, was excellent as she was witty, engaging and so entertaining. Highly recommend the class…you won’t be disappointed and come hungry!

    Absolutely fantastic! Such a great experience, would highly recommend to everyone! We booked this during Songkran and arranged pickup with them the day before, but due to traffic throughout the city they sent a second car to pick us up to make sure we weren't late, IMO that is exceptional service! Our guide/instructor, Sky was so much fun. She was helpful and knowledgeable every step along the way. We were lucky enough to have a small class (just 3 people total), but it was so well thought out and organized I can see how this would be successful for larger classes as well. The food was the icing on the cake, it was all delicious and we were able to all do the prep work / cooking together, despite cooking different dishes. This truly set them apart from other cooking classes we've had before. Honestly, I can't do them justice with this review, but 100% would join this tour again and it's such a bargain too!

    It was amazing I learned so much and it was so funny THANK YOU so much SKY. I will definitely come back

    I'm a Thai Chef now!

    Jonathan_W, Feb 2026
    Imagine being whisked away on a culinary chariot—on time, mind you—to a kingdom of flavors! The queens of this realm? Noodle and Sky, aptly named, who first guided us through a vibrant market of ingredients that practically sang to be cooked. Back at the school, we were handed the keys to the culinary kingdom: five dishes—appetizers, soup, main, dessert—like being the chef of your own feast. Prep was minimal but hands-on enough to feel like Thai cuisine sorcerers! The meal? A five-course triumph! Our group of six was like a mini foodie family, and the whole experience was smooth as coconut milk. 10/10—I’d wield a wok with them again!

    Amazing experience great food

    Delicious, Informative, and Fun!

    Allison_S, Dec 2025
    Everything about the class was amazing! Skye was personable, fun, knowledgeable, and made sure that everyone in the class was able to cook all dishes successfully. She accommodated everyone’s spice tolerance well and helped us adjust flavors to our liking. The hotel pickup and drop off were smooth. About a week before the class, you will be sent a menu with options to choose from for the 5 courses (appetizer, noodle dish, soup, curry, and dessert). Each person can choose what to cook individually. On the day of the class, you will be picked up from your hotel and driven to a local market, where many ingredients and foods commonly used in Thai cooking are explained. The guide will buy the fresh items and bring them back to the classroom. Then, over the course of around 4 hours, you’ll be walked through cooking 5 different courses. You’ll cook one or two courses, then pause to eat. I learned lots of basics about Thai cooking and ingredients, and made a delicious meal!

    So fun I enjoyed

    The yummiest cooking class! The best cooking class!

    Vivienne_L, Feb 2025
    This class was fantastic. The tour started with a visit to a local market and learned about fresh fruit and vegetables used in Thai cooking. We cooked many dish’s and at the same time we had the opportunity to watch other dishes being prepared as each of us had a choice of dishes that we wanted to cook. We had a small group of 5 and Sagai (spelling?) our tour guide, made the class interesting and she added a lot of fun and laughter to the class. She was extremely patient and encouraged us every step of the way! All the dishes were delicious and at the end of the class we received recipes to all the dishes! Thank you Yummy Tasty Thai Cooking School. We highly recommend taking this cooking class with you!

    Love for these ladies ❤️

    Marijana_K, Dec 2024
    These ladies deserve the world! Hard working, super fun, thoughtful, informative, patient! I had a great afternoon with them. Highly recommended ❤️

    Excellent Cooking Class

    Martin_H, Dec 2024
    One of the best cooking classes we have attended. From the initial pick up from our hotel, market shopping and the cooking experience could not be faulted. Especially liked that we could chose the dishes we wanted to cook. All the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was rushed. Highly recommended.

    Best Cooking School Experience

    Ken_P, May 2024
    Pick up was on time. The experience was fantastic. I picked my menu and all the ingredients were bought on the trip to the market. The class size was 5 people. Class is in English and both women running the school spoke excellent English. The food was far better than I thought I could cook. Except for the day being about 42C, this was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend this cooking school. Plenty of bottled drinking ice water provided.

    Local food experience

    Alice_E, Feb 2024
    This was absolutely amazing! I had such a great time making various local foods and being able to eat them. The preparation for the class was so well done and it was a chilled but fun environment. Thank you so much!

    Super great afternoon!

    Thai Cooking - An Adventure with Food

    Peggy_L, Jan 2023
    We had a great time learning how to cook Thai food! Mango, our teacher, was amazing, explaining all the ingredients and steps needed to make our menu choices. Of course, it was great eating our food too. Highly recommend this class!

    A Culinary Treat

    Raymond_N, Oct 2022
    We truly enjoyed this outing. Everything went extremely well. We were picked up at our hotel on time and from the very beginning we could tell it was going to be an awesome time. The host/driver was delightful. He was engaging and we could tell right from the start he was well organized. After visiting the market to collect our ingredients, we arrived shortly at his home which was nicely set up for the cooking class. We were impressed by the fact that each of us (6 in total) were allowed to set our own menu from a series of options previously provided, and the instructor deftly gave instructions to each of us as we cooked varying dishes all at the same time. We would prepare a course and then be given plenty of unrushed time to eat our selected dish and visit with our cooking classmates. While we were enjoying our meal, the staff were quietly in the background cleaning up and preparing for the next course allowing for seamless transitions between courses. This half day cooking course was entertaining, informative, the right length and of course very tasty. A true value for the price point. We highly recommend this cooking class.

    Super fun and delicious!

    Our family of 4 (kids ages 9 and 11) did this cooking class and loved it! Noodle was great - especially with the kids. The shopping trip to the market was awesome!

    Incroyable moment avec notre chef, une jeune femme pétillante et passionnée et des cours de cuisine facile a comprendre, des recettes excellentes et une ambiance géniale !

    Toller kulinarischer Kultur-Abend mit besten Gesprächen

    Claudia_R, Apr 2024
    Wir hatten einen tollen Kochkurs-Abend mit unserer Kursleiterin namens Sky. Da wir das einzige Paar waren welches teilnahm, war die Veranstaltung zusammengefasst sehr familiär - mit offenen Gesprächen für die jeweilige Kultur und Erfahrungen des anderen. Zudem wurden die Gerichte mit den frischesten Zutaten vom Markt zubereitet. Es war alles sehr köstlich & so einfach zuzubereiten! Es benötigt keinerlei Vorkenntnisse in puncto Lebensmittelhygiene und Kochen, es wird einem alles sehr gut erklärt. Vielen lieben Dank liebe Sky für den tollen Nachmittag/Abend!

    À faire absolument
