EXCELLENT cooking class - EXCELLENT cooking class with a very nice host who was attentive and made sure we had what we needed to get an amazing experience. The variety of dishes was excellent and we (family of 4) were able to pick 3 dishes each before the class started. The host reached out to us 2 days prior and sent us a list of 8-9 choices and each of our family members was able to pick 3 custom dishes they wanted to make. Everyone had their own cooking station and the entire class was at the host's home. We routinely take cooking classes everywhere we travel and this was probably our 12th or 13th class. This ranked up in the top 3 for sure and since some of our family members were vegetarian, the host was able to easily accommodate this request. She was also in tune with not using fish sauce for the vegetarians. I hightly recommend this class to anyone visiting Koh Samui and wanting to learn the way locals cook their meals.

Excellent cooking class - The experience was amazing. The cooking class was very small and intimate which was great. We were given lots of information and each step was explained. It was very easy to follow and the food was delicious. The experience was traditional Thai cooking with lots of background information into the ingredients and recipes. The tour of the markets was insightful and showed a more realistic traditional Thai market.

Good Thai cooking experience - Don’t eat before going! The class cooks 3 meals, one after the other, cooking - eating, cooking - eating, cooking - eating. Market visit and cooking is well organised and fun. You select from a good range of menu options and each person cooks their own menu. Venue is at house, so also includes learning about plants in garden (herbs, fruit, veg). Would recommend although we seemed to pay more than advertised price (AU) and I’m sure Trip Advisor gets a good chunk of what you pay. Would prefer if I could book with instructor directly.
