Thai Cooking Class, Koh Samui - We had an amazing time at the Thai cooking class! It started with a trip to the local market, where our instructor walked us through the different herbs, vegetables, and spices—we even picked out some of our own fresh ingredients. Back in the kitchen, we learned how to make green curry from scratch, Thai pad (pad Thai), and crispy spring rolls. The instructor was patient, fun, and gave great tips on authentic techniques and flavors. It was hands-on, delicious, and a great way to dive into Thai culture. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn how to make these traditional dishes!

Authentic and delicious - We had a great time. The visit to the markets was really interesting. The cooking school was well set up and all the instructions were so easy to follow. The food we made was delicious and so quick and easy to prepare- I liked that each person could cook their own choices. Was a really good experience

Yummy! - It isn’t close to the cruise port. There is an additional cost from the service provider for transportation to the class. But it’s definitely worthwhile. The instructor is great. She efficiently walked us through the preparation of the dishes. More than enough food! Great flavors provided by herbs from her garden, right next to the cook tops.

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.
