Misleading information - We booked this experience based on the information provided through Tripadvisor, however, at no point were we advised that the beachside and open air location which they advertise is no longer an option. Instead, we were taken to a completely different location which was indoors in Patong. I cannot comment on the actual class itself, but anyone looking to book this should be made aware of this as it seems that it continues to be misleading.
