So much fun! - The Thai cooking class was so much fun and a great hands on experience. Chef Geng was funny and engaged all of us in every step of creating each dish. The setting was great with each of us having our own cooking station. His sous chef team was wonderful too! I would highly recommend this class to anybody who wants to learn more about the flavors of Thailand and have a blast at the same time.

A delicious and interesting experience - I really enjoyed my class with Geng. We started with a visit to the local market at Bangrak, which is small but has everything you'd expect in a local wet market. Geng explained the ingredients we would be using in today's menu showed them in their raw form. We then headed to the site for cooking class, which is on Geng's family land in Koh Samui. The cooking class area is an open bamboo and coconut structure and a great place to enjoy a cooking class. The "Pleasant Saturday" menu was green chicken (my group requested pork and Geng was pleased to accommodate that change and said it was his family's preference) curry with galangal, pad pug ruammit (stir fried mixed vegetables), deep fried chicken wings, and bananas in fresh coconut milk. All of the dishes were delicious and absolutely more-ish! The class is done in two stages, so don't be tempted to eat everything in stage 1 as you will fill up for stage 2. Geng and his lovely team will gladly provide takeaway containers for your leftovers! We had to make our own coconut milk for the curry and dessert, and the difference in flavour between canned or tetrapak and fresh coconut milk is quite profound. Geng was a great teacher and very funny. He had great tips and tricks on Thai cooking (the secret to everything tasting so good: Thai chicken stock powder). I've done several Thai cooking classes in the past and hadn't made a green curry with galangal, which gave it a different and lighter flavour than some other versions I'd made. The fried chicken wings were very easy and the ingredients can be easily obtained at an Asian grocery store. The bananas in fresh coconut milk were so tasty I polished off all of mine! Definitely try Geng's class - it is great and tasty fun!

Amazing! - We had the most amazing time! The team were so accomodating and helpful. We loved visiting the markets at the beginning to learn more about the culture. Our food tasted amazing, we couldn’t believe we made it ourselves thanks to our amazing guide taking us through step by step!

A mornings cooking - A fabulous morning of cooking after an intro at a local market. Excellent guidance through the process, each station was stocked with everything needed and a helper did the cleanup. All dishes were made from scratch even the coconut milk. We were shown ( and got to try) how to grate the fresh coconut also. The spring rolls were fantastic as were two curries and a dessert. Menu adaptations can be made for dietaries which is nice. We learned lots about how the locals eat and Samui food. I would definitely go back for more cooking!

GO Samui Cook! No really, Go! - One of our favourite experiences in the whole trip to Thailand! A lovely morning spent with a lovely family who obviously really care. The kitchen setup is safe and welcoming and we genuinely learned some new culinary skills (and meanwhile enjoyed some delicious food!) Highly recommended and thank you O for your hospitality!
