Thai cooking for beginners - We shopped and cooked under the careful eye of Wendy, a world renowned Thai chef. Shared the experience with others too which was even more fun. Who knew I could cook thai!

The entire family (from grandparents to kids) thoroughly enjoyed our cooking experience - Fantastic fun for all. 10 of us in the family did the market tour and cooking class with Wandee. From grandparents to kids, interested cooks to first time cooks, we all enjoyed the experience. There's an extensive list of dishes to choose from and we chose 8 dishes from stir fry and pad thai to more complicated pandan chicken and steamed fish curry in green coconut. Some of the dishes like the steam fish curry, we never found in any of the restaurants in Khao Lak and it was just so tasty. We devoured all the dishes we cooked as it turned out so delicious (there's a couple of helpers to assist so you won't go completely wrong). My dad put in too many chilis in his spicy seafood salad (even Wandee commented that its so spicy!) but they helped to balance/tone down the spices. We had a great time. Even my son who has never cooked anything other than toast, had a super time. Highly recommend as an activity for the whole family to do!

Fantastic afternoon! - Fantastic experience! I wasn’t really looking forward to it although my partner wanted to attend but we had such a great time. Wandee is so nice and friendly and the whole afternoon was very interesting and I can now cook chicken satay and massaman curry!

5 from 5 cooking experience - It was a really terrific tour to the market and later to the kitchen. We learned a lot, we had a really nice team taking care of us and a luck with the other people joining. Very stuffed with delicious food and some nice drinks we were dropped off in the afternoon at our hotel. This is a 5 from 5 cooking experience! Thank you very much, Wandee!

Excellent experience learning about and eating Thai food - Chef Wendee and her assistants were knowledgeable and patient. I appreciated learning about the ingredients at the local market then cooking several courses. All of the food was excellent and now I feel I can make Thai food on my own at home. Wonderful experience, highly recommend!

Professional Chef School - Really good experience - both the market visit and the cooking afterwards. Super skilled cook and the same applies to the rest of the staff. One invitation - ask everyone that the dishes are for sharing so you can get to taste it all. 👍
