Wonderful experience - Friendly staff who are happy to assist and help with great cooking tips. Very beginner friendly, so if you’re feeling a bit tired on holiday then this is an ideal cooking class. There’s opportunity to buy produce from the market too if you choose the market option. You also get to meet people from all over the world which was great for a solo traveller like me.

Phenomenal cooking class! - Great class! You make 4 different dishes, completely from scratch, then eat them. Authentic, fresh ingredients, probably the freshest curry you'll eat in Thailand! Thai cooking involves a lot more excitement than I expected! Be sure to come hungry, and ready to move
