Fabulous workshop, amazing food, and a super interesting and educational market tour with Care. We were four people, so everyone got their own work station and could customize their dishes to taste. Care and her colleague were very sweet and knowledgable, and the studio is clean and cozy. Would absolutely recommend (but bring an empty belly!)!

We had an amazing experience with chef care. She was very knowledgeable and patient. She explained a lot about the ingredients and the cuisine and overall ensured an excellent experience for us. We even ate the food we made and discussed notes on different cuisines and cultures. 10/10 recomended.

This was one of the best things we’ve ever done on Viator. The small group of 4 made for a fully hands on experience. The instructor was superb and the food delicious. If you like cooking classes, I cannot recommend this one enough.

We had the most wonderful morning! The market visit was fantastic, menu was delicious and overall experience was super personal. I will be telling my friends and family to book!

Great market tour and cooking class

Savita_B, Dec 2025

We had such an amazing market tour and cooking class with Care. She picked us up from our hotel and then we headed to the market to do the shopping for ingredients for the meal. Visiting the market was a great experience and it was really great to see the different stalls and foods. We then went to the cooking studio where we prepared 4 dishes. We made Tom Yum soup with shrimp, masaman curry with chicken, Pad Thai with shrimp and tofu and mango sticky rice. Care was an amazing instructor and we had so much fun. The food was all delicious and we were very full at the end. All in all it was a wonderful experience!!

Exceptional cooking experience

David_W, Nov 2025

Fantastic cooking experience. The chef was so friendly and knowledgeable. The trip to the market was really interesting. The dishes we cooked were delicious and easy to do with great instructions. A lot of great food to enjoy throughout the experience. Don’t eat before it! It was nice to be part of only a small class so I got to do more. I highly recommend this class. It’s so with it! A+

This was one of the best...

Karen_E, Aug 2025

This was one of the best cooking classes I’ve done in southeast Asia. Care took time to show us around the local market, explaining various ingredients and ways of cooking them, before heading back to her neat and clean studio to prepare four delicious dishes of traditional Thai cuisine. Class sizes are small (only two of us for this session), and we enjoyed each course as it was prepared. Educational and fun, very highly recommended.

Yum yum yum ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a fantastic experience with Chef Care. She was very friendly and made us feel at home in her bright and beautiful cooking studio. The trip to the local market was amazing. She explained the ingredients, preparation and method for the cooking of four dishes which we also got to eat. They were all delicious and we were so full by the end of the session. My friend and I had a lovely time cooking and chatting with Chef care. She is such a lovely woman. We feel confident we can reproduce these recipes at home thanks to Chef’s simple instructions. Thankyou Care for a wonderful afternoon ❤️ Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience

Thalea_C, Jun 2024

This was a wonderfully intimate cooking session. Chef Care was knowledgeable and very patient. We not only enjoyed the cooking but learning and absorbing the experience and culture. We would highly recommend this private class! The trip to the market was hugely insightful and a feast for the eyes.

Unforgettable culinary experience

John_G, Apr 2024

Let me tell you about an amazing cooking class experience that my group of four from San Antonio, Texas had during our trip to Phuket. We were looking for a private class that could accommodate us because one friend has a severe shellfish allergy, and that's when we found Chef Care. And let me tell you, it was the best decision we made! Chef Care was not only attentive to our needs but also made necessary adjustments to the recipes to cater to our preferences. Her cheerful and fun personality made the class even more enjoyable. We loved how knowledgeable she was about the ingredients and techniques, and she answered all our questions with ease. Chef Care guided us through the recipes efficiently, and we were amazed at how delicious the dishes turned out to be. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We greatly appreciate her expertise and exceptional service, and we highly recommend Chef Care if you're ever in Phuket and looking for an unforgettable culinary experience.

Absolutely amazing and delicious!

Rachael_B, Mar 2024

All of it! We lived visiting the night market and buying fresh ingredients and then prepping and making the food. As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed this special time together.

Glad we chose her

Abdul_W, Feb 2024

Instructor is very pleasant, shopping was an enjoyable experience. She had us taste different fruits were weren't familiar with. The cooking she was very informative, and patient I have a ton of allergies. She actually changed our menu on the fly due to my allergies. This was a great experiment

Absolutely amazing!

Sophia_R, Feb 2024

Care was an excellent host and cook! We felt really comfortable in her cute and clean cooking studio and she took good care of all of us. The food we cooked was absolutely amazing! The best we had so far. We would highly recommend this course to everyone!!!

The BEST

Zelaznog_F, Jan 2024

If you are coming to Phuket, booking this is a MUST, Care is wonderful, it feels as if its a friend showing you how to cook, going to the market and trying new things was also a whole experience!

An amazing Thai cooking experience with Care

Gaynor_V, Dec 2023

What a great morning with Care. We were collected from our hotel and met at the market to buy fresh ingredients for our dishes. Care is so knowledgeable about all the fruits/ vegetables, it was also good to taste some. The studio is beautiful well kitted out and Care’s attention to detail is fabulous. We loved cooking all the dishes - just wish we had not had breakfast! The food was incredible. It was such a pleasure to spend time learning and cooking with Care - would highly recommend a cooking class with Care. Thank you Care x

Karen_H, Feb 2023

A truly amazing experience from the easy hotel pick up to ingredient explanations at the local market to the beautiful, clean cooking school each part was amazing. It was our 31st anniversary, her and her assistant surprised us with party decor which was such a a sweet touch. The ingredients were all excellent and the dishes amazing to create! They were intricate but easily cooked with her instruction and so flavorful! Each of us were able to cook our own dish and our own spice level :) We ended up taking food to go back to the hotel for dinner on our patio.

Great experience!

markhartogsveld, Oct 2025

Great cooking class. Care has a passion for cooking and knows how to convey it clearly. We learned a lot about Thai cuisine and its ingredients in a fun and personal way and also cooked four very tasty dishes. Highly recommended!
