This is authentic at its best!
The market was amazing to see and Wooddys garden was impressive.
My partner and I are both great cooks but we learned some really good tips that we will take home and apply.
Wooddy was communicative and educational and had a great sense of humour. The food we cooked was delicious. Had a really fun day! I would highly recommend

This class was a very fun way to learn to cook classic Thai dishes. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would take this class again :)

Fantastic enjoyable morning learning to cook 3 dishes with the delightful Wooddy. He explained what and why certain ingredients were used and his team of helpers were so friendly. The food was excellent the best that we have had in Thailand and we made it ourselves. Do not eat before you go there is so much food. A fun activity would highly recommend
Celeste_M, Dec 2025
The class was well organized and the helpers were wonderful. The food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend the experience!

Brilliant experience, Woody is so friendly and is obviously passionate in what he does, a fun and interesting afternoon, worth every penny!
Pennie_M, Jul 2025
Wow we got really lucky in that we were the only people on the PM class! Woody was really attentive and we loved it all. His garden is fab and the other ladies helping in the kitchen were great. Can highly recommend
Amanda_R, Jul 2025
Highly recommend this cooking class with Wooddy! Not only did wooddy and the team go out of their way to give us a fantastic experience, it was also the tastiest meal we have had in Phuket. We were able to request dishes and could tailor them to each member of our group (spice levels, meat/vegetarian), everything was well explained, we received all the recipes, got to try local fruits, he took us to a local market and explained all the different foods, and showed us around his own garden showing how everything grows. And at the end as he was driving us back made a quick stop to help us purchase a specific fruit we were after personally at a local market. Thank you Wooddy!

This was very fun! The food was delicious and vegeterian friendly. Meat was all optional. The staff were kind

This class with Woody was absolutely brilliant. We first went to the market to pick up the fresh ingredients, Woody told us about all the different foods.
Then a short trip to his home where there was a very clean organised set up for the class to take place. He explained how to prepare all the veg , herbs and supplied chicken and prawns.
We chose our dishes
Tom yum goon, tom kha gai, panang curry , pad Thai , pad see ew were our choices. They were outstanding.
He sent us all the recipes, linked us into his You Tube Chanel.
After eating the wonderful simple quick food. He took us back to our hotel.
If you love cooking and are in Phuket then get booked in!

Really fun casual experience. Wooddy’s great; enthusiastic and fun. Loved seeing how all the ingredients come together, and the meal-the best I’ve had so far! I enjoy cooking but have virtually no skills, doesn’t matter. Great excursion!
Clarissa_L, Jan 2025
My sister and I absolutely loved this experience. The Wooddy Kitchen is a great place to learn about Thai food and the food we had was absolutely wonderful (some of the best we’d tasted in Thailand). What was also a big plus was they were able to cater to my dietary requirements (I’m vegan). I wouldn’t hesitate to have another cookery class with Wooddy! It was one of our favourite excursions whilst travelling.

Learnt new skills in the class and it is a very unfortunate experience, highly recommended to people we want to check out local life here
LesleyL, Dec 2024
Fantastic morning with Woody and helpers. Very informative and great English. Clean and top class food. Thoroughly recommend. Value for money.
Catherine_D, Oct 2024
It’s was funny and very interesting to know the different spices that you add to the Thai dishes. All the staff are very kind and professional
Bruce_G, Apr 2024
We were collected from our hotel on time by Wooddy. After collecting the remainder of people for this experience, we were taken to a local fresh food market to explore all the produce available in the region and pick up a few items needed for the cooking class. Wooddy was very good at explains what all the produce was and in what type of Thai dishes it would be used in. Once we arrived at Wooddy Kitchen, we were taken on a tour of the garden that grows many of the produce used in the cooking classes. We then prepared all the ingredients for 4 dishes followed by carefully instructed guidance from Wooddy and his team. We then sat down to enjoy our creations. I have to admit that they were the best tasting Thai food I have ever had. After lunch we were rolled out of the class and back into the van and returned to our hotel, where I dropped into a food coma for 3 hours 🤣.
Wooddy speakers excellent English (much better than my Thai) and made the entire experience one to remember.
Oh, I should also mention that the dishes that you cook, as well as several others, are sent to you to try at home.
Heather_B, Feb 2024
The friendliness and professionalism of the chef and staff made for a very enjoyable experience. Not only were we shown what to cook we were able to partake in preparation and cooking. The highlight was being able to eat a delicious meal.
Scott_K, Feb 2024
I highly recommend Woody's cooking class. It was one of my favorite experiences during our trip. Woody and his staff were outstanding.
Thalia_N, Dec 2023
Absolutely amazing Woody, I messaged him to confirm details and woody kept me updated. He took us to thee see market explained the seasonal fruits a the ones we will be cooking with. He explained the food step by step as was very accommodating to my mum was allergic to shellfish. He made us feel at home and took the time and effort to answer all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing definitely worth it will recommend it to anyone!!!
Natasha_S, Dec 2023
Wooddy and his Wife were just wonderful! What a great experience. Great teacher and the food was so good all I want to do is find the right ingredients at home so I can make that Pad Thai again! And the Mango with Sticky rice was droolicious.. The market tour was also very informative and Wooddy even gave me courage to try Durian for the first time. kap khun ka Wooddy!
sarahbvo, Oct 2023
We had a great cooking session today. Woody arrived to pick us up in a timely manner. Woody and his 2 staff were helpful and accommodating. The food was flavourful and fun to make. We made Thai Soup, chicken with green curry, pad Thai and sticky rice with mango
Darren_C, Oct 2023
Awsome experience. Woody along with his staff were very good. Cooked four courses and thoroughly enjoyed it.
JoeyLeebove, Jun 2023
Wooddy was awesome! He created a menu that could be tweaked to your individual needs/preferences. At the market he showed us unique fruits and vegetables that we wouldn’t find in the states. He was thorough in his explanations of how to prepare the different dishes.
Helen_S, Apr 2023
My teenage son and I had a great time with Wooddy. The entire experience ran really smoothly, he was exceptionally helpful, excellent English and we learnt so much. As we were the only participants we were able to choose the exact dishes that we fancied and very much look forward to reproducing these on our return to England.
Wooddy offers extra things such as fruit tasting a personalised certificate which will make your day more memorable.
Kam_S, Mar 2023
Fantastic trip through the market and then to Wooddy's to cook. We were lucky to just be the two of us this day so a private lesson with 4 dishes which all came out great. Wooddy also provides printed out recipes to take home that include a lot more dishes. We came home and made coconut sticky rice with mango for a family celebration and everybody raved. Would do again in a heartbeat!
Susan_G, Dec 2022
Woody, the leader, was excellent. It was a large group who woodie handled with ease. Very organized. Everyone got to cook, chop & eat! Highly recommend.
Marcia_N, Nov 2022
Fun day, learning some new recipes! Found out we really like Thom Ka, who knew! Enjoyed the class and the food!!
Jeff_G, Sep 2022
Our teacher was brilliant, explaining ingredients in detail and highlighting which are not easily available in the western world I.e. what makes a dish truly authentic Thai food.
We had an amazing time and the food tasted delicious, would certainly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks so much for your great review hope to welcome you again next time
Mollie_F, May 2022
We enjoyed this experience so much! It was fantastic to visit the market first and see our teacher purchase the ingredients we’d use later. Being in a small group made the class very hands-on and help was always available when cooking. The dishes we prepared were delicious! Great to take the recipes home too. Thanks for a fun, memorable day!
