Delicious home cooked Thai lunch - Excellent afternoon starting with a visit to the fresh food market. Amazing array of herbs and spices. Back at the cooking school, each given our own wok and menu. Ingredients laid out for each dish and staff were very attentive, assisting you with the chopping and cooking. Music playing, Lots of fun and finished with an extravagant lunch. Make sure you are hungry- maybe skip breakfast. I recommend the spicy chicken salad, Tom yum goong soup and massaman curry. Highly recommend.

Filling fun with food - Nice people as you would expect in Thailand. Going to the food market was an interesting experience too. Prepared and cooking the food was very easy and a lot of fun. Come hungry as you will have lots to eat. You can take leftovers with you if you want? I recommend it as a great way to spend an afternoon.

Best Thia cooking on town - Introduced to the ingredients that are typically used in thai cookery at the local market before heading for the cookery class. Four of us with 2 cookery teachers. All ingredients partially prepared. Cooking with supervision and instruction at individual cooking stations, we prepared some fabulous food. We chose the dishes we wanted to learn to cook, each choosing something different, when cooked we all sat and enjoyed the fruits of our labour tasting all the dishes. Really fun and friendly session.

Learning how to cook authentic Thai Food at its best! - We had a wonderful time learning how to cook delicious, authentic Thai dishes. Ahead of the day, we chose our appetisers, starters, mains, and desserts, so everything was thoughtfully prepared in advance. On arrival near the venue, we were taken on a local market tour to see the fresh ingredients we’d be using and learn about their role in each dish. We then got down to cooking, with Ploy our chef and teacher guiding us through each recipe step by step. The experience ended perfectly as we sat down to enjoy all the amazing food we had prepared. Ploy and the whole team were incredibly kind and generous. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves Thai food.

This experience was... - This experience was fantastic from the moment our driver picked us up! Our teacher (Ms King!!) showed us around the market and explained everything and answered our questions too. When we got to the cooking school, the facilities and team were so nice, and Ms King continued teaching us with Thai techniques and tips. We loved that we could choose our dishes so we both learned different recipes and then had a feast to share! We left with full bellies and great big smiles. And we have the recipes and skills to relive the meals when we get home!

Great lesson on Thai flavors - Was very relaxed & enjoyed the market introduction stop off on our way. Good value & great flavors. Felt a bit rushed & dishes could have been cooked longer. An introduction to others in the class ie (1st name & which country) would have been more inclusive as I was attending on my own. Thankfully I was sat with a couple of friends cooking together to eat. Was a small class of 5 people But overall was worth doing & did learn about the flavors of Thai cooking 🍳 😋 🫶

Fast paced / basic - The market visit was nice but we weren't purchasing things for the cooking class . It would have been good if we were. We got to choose what we wanted to cook . initially i though this was a good idea but really I think it hinders the time available for the instructor to spend explaining each dish and attending to people. The instructor spent a lot of time dashing person to person quickly telling them what they needed to do next. We were given a plate of pre prepared ingredients and did a bit of minimal chopping. The spice pastes were pre made. It would have been good to make them from scratch . So really we were just putting together a dish that was already half made and not really learning about them in depth. I personally prefer a more detailed cooking class. I feel I didn't learn much. May be good for beginners. Although ; the food was nice
