- Riverside Thai Cooking Class - The Thai cooking class starts at the local Khao Lak market. Here you will choose the ingredients for your Thai dishes, learn about Thai herbs and spices and catch a glimpse of the daily hustle and bustle of local market life.
It’s time to prepare and cook your dishes. This is where the fun really begins. The cooking chef Apple will teach you how to prepare your ingredients the Thai way. Starting with basic curry pastes and Thai seasonings, then cooking techniques before finally creating your impressive Thai meal.
After learning to cook your Thai food there is one more important step in creating a Thai meal to impress your friends. You need to present it in an appetising manner and you will even learn some simple food carving tricks. Then you all dine together in true Thai style and try all the other delicious dishes the class has cooked. I’m getting hungry just thinking about this.
All the fresh ingredients which are used for the Khao Lak Thai cooking class are sourced locally, fresh from the daily market. You will shop with no-plastic bags. Any left over food waste is turned in compost which is used in the herb garden at Riverside.

A MUST IN KHAO LAK - What a little dynamo Apple is. Every moment of this entire experience was a delight ... from the very informative visit to the local fresh market to the actual food preparation. The lovely purpose-built kitchen is set adjacent to a palm grove & Apple grows much of the fresh produce herself. The small "international" group of 7 gelled quickly & over much laughter prepared a feast of 7 different dishes which we shared.
Thank you Apple & your 2 lovely assistants for a sensational journey into genuine Thai cooking.

The happiest cooking experience you will ever have! - My wife, Karen, bought this cooking course as a birthday surprise for myself, we both attended along with 5 others so 7 of us in total, the cross section of people was fantastic, 1 from Germany, 2 from Australia and 4 from England, the whole experience was magical, we visited the local market to purchase fresh herbs and spices, this on its own was fantastic, then we were transported to Apple’s beautiful kitchen situated in the most idyllic location, here Apple and her team orchestrated the rest of the experience, cooking 7 different dishes, all were superb. Our group gelled so well and the whole morning was an absolute joy, if you are looking to try a little Thai cooking then Apple and the Riverside Thai cooking class is an absolute must.
First class, superb, there aren’t enough superlatives to describe how much we enjoyed the day
Thank you to Apple and her team and Ric for being our chauffeur and also thanks to the other ‘Chefs’ (Chef’s in the loosest terms) for all just ‘mucking in’

Great experience, culinary highlight - The cooking class with market visit at Apple was one of my holiday highlights. Apple picks you up right at the hotel, then in the morning it goes to the market where she explains many spices and foods of typical Thai cuisine. The cooking school itself is nicely located and clean. Two nice helpers support with cooking. We had cooked a total of 6 different dishes, all were super delicious. The recipes came by mail a few days later. All ingredients should also be available in Germany in the Asia market.
Be sure to choose the Banana Blossom salad; one of the best dishes I ate on holiday

A must for anyone who loves cooking! - As many have already written, the cooking class with Apple is simply an unforgettable experience. Hotel pickup, market visit with extensive explanation and cooking class with Apple is a great experience. Your enjoyment of cooking and teaching this other, your charm and her funny way make it a special experience.

Scrumptious & fun coking class - Fabulous cooking class. The morning session includes a trip to a market to look at local produce. 7 attendees in our class = 7 scrumptious dishes plus banana & chocolate spring rolls and pork & herb spring rolls. Apple is a fun teacher. Learnt so much. So lovely sitting as a group eating all the food. Highly recommend.

Authentic Thai cooking class - The cooking class was a really great experience. Apple is such an enthusiastic and cool person.
The market tour was really interesting. Cooking with her and her girls was so much fun and the food was delicious. They all made us feel so welcomed and we had such a great time with them.

FANTASTIC COOKING CLASS!! - This cooking class was absolutely fantastic! Apple was so knowledgeable on every Thai dish that you could even imagine. We learnt so much, and made absolutely everything from scratch. This included a trip to the market to see the local produce that we would then cook with later. Apple and her team were amazing, so helpful and made it such a fun afternoon! Would HIGHLY recommend this class. We made so many dishes and they all tasted fantastic. We were so full at the end! Thanks so much Apple!

An unforgettable cooking course at River Thai Cooking - We were picked up as VIPs
Then we went to the local Point of Sale to buy the fresh ingredients.
Then we drove to the cooking workshop in the Jungle...
Very nice location with an open kitchen that was very neatly cared for.
Everything was prepared to perfection.
Everyone was put to work and supervised by Apple (the cook).
We could get everything the other person had to do.
After preparing the dishes, all dishes were shared so you could taste something of everything
😋😋😋😋man Oh man how delicious .
It is highly recommended and Apple had everything arranged and under control.
At the end of the course I bought a nice pair of shorts and returned to the hotel.
In the evening we had dinner at the restaurant on the beach of her sister. 😋
Also highly recommended......

Fantastic friendly cooking experience - This experience was so good, I couldn't recommend it more!
We were picked up from our hotel with a couple of other guests while were also doing the class. We went straight to the market to pick up our ingredients which was a great local experience on its own.
We tnen went back to Apple's kitchen and garden to cook our food. There was a total of 5 of us and we all had our own meal to prepare, this meant we all got to try 5 different dishes as well as the spring rolls. I chose fish cakes and my wife baked shrimp with glass noodles. The other guests had red curry, shrimp cakes and pad Thai so we had a great variety.
Apple is amazing running the course, so friendly and helpful. She really makes this the fun day it is. Her team working with her are also brilliant and keep on top of everything, ingredients are where you need them and everything is clean and tidy.
After the course, you get emailed all the recipes from the day, including the choices of the other guests.
