This cooking class was absolutely fabulous!!! The owner and cook, Om, is a fantastic teacher. She was shy about her English, but she speaks English so well!!! Her home-made cookbook is great. We loved everything about it. You MUST take this cooking class. A truly fabulous experience in a lovely location. Right near the water. Thank you Om. We had a truly beautiful experience with you 🙏♥️🥰

Lamai Thai Cooking School

Jemma_J, Jun 2024

A fantastic afternoon cooking class in Lamai. We prepared spring rolls, pad Thai, green chicken curry and Tom yum goong soup and banana in coconut milk for desert. We got transfer to and from our hotel by the lovely owner of the business who was very funny and spoke great English. All dietary needs and preferences were catered for and class sizes are kept relatively small so it’s a personal experience. The food was all delicious and we got a recipe book to take home with us, covering the dishes we cooked and many more Thai classics to try in the future. A perfect and relaxed day trip learning some new skills overlooking the sea and grandmother grandfather rocks. I would highly recommend to all cooking enthusiasts and novices alike.
