Such a wonderful experience, I would highly recommend - I had an amazing time. The whole experience was something I'll never forget, from visiting the local market through to trying the food we cooked. As my wife has allergies, we were able to adapt some of the recipes to make sure she was able to try what we wanted. The food itself was fantastic and there was so much we couldn't finish it, but we were able to take the extra food back to the hotel with us, which was a nice bonus Sadly, due to the weather being a bit too hot for me, I did feel a bit unwell and had to sit out of part of the experience, but I was so well looked after that I can't wait to come back again another time. I would definitely recommend Pakinnaka cooking school to anyone visiting the area

Cooked up a storm!! - Wandee is WONDERFUL! I booked this for my family - 5 adults. Throughout the booking process, Wandee responded to any enquiries quickly and clearly and we arranged everything before our holiday. We were collected from our hotel at 3:30 where we were taken to a local food market. We sampled some local items as suggested by Wandee, she talked us through the ingredients that we needed for our chosen dishes, allowing us to smell and sample herbs and spice mixes. Once we had all of our ingredients purchased, we went to the cooking school. We were offered cold drinks when we arrived and then got straight down to cooking. My mum doesn’t do well with spice, and Wandee was very respectful of this, supporting her with choices to minimise the heat. For round one we made spring rolls and moo ping - both were delicious! For our main course we had drunken prawn/chicken and massaman curry. They were absolutely fantastic!! Wandee is very knowledgeable about Thai cooking and passionate to share this with others and her English is exceptional! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Thank you Wandee and team!

Wnoderful - What a wonderful experience. Wandee is a fantastic teacher. All our food was amazing. Wandee even let us taste the fish that she was eating for her own lunch and she cooked an extra meal so that we could have prawns. Thoroughly recommend thaw cooking school if you want traditional flavors. Cold beers too.
