Great experience, very kind staff

ashley_a, Aug 2025
Great experience, very kind Chef and kitchen staff! Unfortunately, my partner started to come down with travelers diarrhea (from a meal the previous day elsewhere!) and they were so kind and accommodating. They were constantly checking on him, getting him water, and they even cooked his portion of the meals and package them for us to take to go. I was able to still complete the class and we sped up the cooking so we could get home for him to rest. The market was a great experience, the kitchen is a short 10 minutes away. We had our own car, but they did offer us transportation. Great communication with staff prior to about needs for transportation.I had a blast and enjoyed learning about the local produce, and my favorite was learning how to make green curry paste and pad Thai! Would highly recommend when in Phuket! 🙏

An Absolute must do!!

Renna_C, Jun 2025
My husband & I just returned from our trip to Phuket Thailand and we booked the afternoon cooking class ahead of time. Unbeknownst to us, we had a private class! TIK took us to a local market and showed and explained all the different vegetables and seasonings needed for the recipes. A plus to the class. We made Pad see ew , soup, shrimp skewers w peanut sauce (usually chicken but we are pescatarians) mango rice. All super delicious!! Had to doggie bag it back to the hotel. She’s very funny and informative. She also had lots of helpers to assist her. I cannot recommend this class enough. A MUST DO! So glad we booked it. We traveled with a group of 30 and told them about it, and they wanted to do it also but unable to fit it into the itinerary. Thank you TIK and thank you for the recipes! We will be making them at home, soon!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

A Must-Do Thai Experience

Hania_B, Jan 2025
This was the highlight of my partner's and my trip to Thailand. Other than the delicious food we got to eat at the end, the instructor, Tik, was excellent and made it such a fun experience for all of us. We've already made the green curry recipe at home that we learned in class and it turned out amazing!

Real Deal Thai cooking

Kendra_C, Nov 2024
The host was outstanding. Very entertaining. TT educated us on the different types of ingredients that go into a curry. The portion sizes were outstanding. More than enough to eat there and take home. Did not like: Viator said start time was 3:30pm, actual start time was 2pm. Experience was wonderful.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that TT made such a great impression. He will be especially pleased to know you found him entertaining and informative. Regarding the start time confusion, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We will follow up on this with Viator to ensure the correct timing is clearly communicated, as we understand how important accurate information is when planning your day. Thank you again for your kind feedback. We truly hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

"Thai Culinary Bliss: A Taste of Heaven in Phuket"

Andrew_D, Apr 2024
An unforgettable culinary journey! The Thai Food Cooking Class in Phuket exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and the passionate teacher made every moment memorable. Not only did we learn the secrets of Thai cuisine, but we also indulged in the most delicious creations we made ourselves. A must-do experience for any food enthusiast visiting Phuket!

Thai Cooking!

Lori_O, Mar 2024
My husband and I had a great time in this cooking class. The tour took us to a local market to shop for our ingredients and then to a kitchen to make our meal... Pad Thai, Green Curry, Mango w/ Sweet Rice. All very easy to make and so delicious. Our guide was so fun and knowledgable about cooking! We'll be cooking our own Thai food when we return home!

She was amazing!

Dez_W, Dec 2023
I had a great time making great food!! She was very patient and taught me about the different ingredients I wasn’t as familiar with.

Best Cooking Class

Eric_A, Nov 2023
This was an amazing experience. She was so kind and funny from the minute she picked me and my wife up. She took us to the market which was also a great experience. It seemed like everyone knew her there. The cooking was fun and informative and TASTY. 10/10 must do it again!!!

Great Cultural Cooking Class

Vai_B, Oct 2023
Omg great experience! Karn was sooooo funny. She took us to the market and explained all of the food items we'd be using and walked us through step by step how to cook them. I never thought I could cook Thai food better than the restaurants back home (USA). Wonderful experience- highly recommend.

It's always a pleasure to introduce our guests to the rich tapestry of Thai cuisine, and we're ecstatic to know that you felt confident in your culinary skills by the end of the session.

We hope to have the opportunity to share more delightful adventures with you in the future. Warm regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Awesome Thai cooking class and market tour - highly recommend

mickandjess2019, Apr 2022
We loved this cooking class & market tour. Karn picked us up from the hotel and we went straight to the local market to collect the ingredients for our recipes which was a great chance to see all of the different fresh Thai produce. We then drove to the cooking school which was clean and well organised. As we were the only people on the day we got to pick our own menu and decided on spring rolls, Penang curry, pineapple fried rice and banana fritters. Karn was an excellent teacher helping us to first prepare all of the ingredients and then cook all of the dishes. All of the dishes were really easy to make and the end result was a delicious feast, some of the best Thai food I’ve eaten. I highly recommend this fun and educational cooking class.

A must do experience

Audrey_C, Dec 2021
We had a lovely morning with Kam. She and the driver picked us up and our first stop was the market where Kam took time to explain the different items that we needed. It was so interesting. After shopping for the ingredients we arrived at her place and started cooking. We produced some lovely dishes and Kam was so funny and kept us entertained and engaged. Definitely a must!

Top course

Ronny_B, Nov 2025
We had a lot of fun, the instructor was very refreshingly easygoing and funny. And best of all, we smell delicious Thai dishes cooked under instruction and enjoyed afterwards. Extremely delicious!!! 5 out of 5 stars and a big thank you to the whole cooking class team.
