Great experience - Such a great experience to do as a group. Our instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable. We were able to pick out our dishes we wanted to make prior to arrival. Would definitely do this again! Who knew we could actually cook?

Cooked and ate the best Thai dishes we’ve had!! - Such an amazing experience!! We loved our cooking class, not only was it well prepped, she shared all her recipes with us in a simple easy to follow method. The food was delicious, it was arguably the best pad Thai, green curry and massaman curry we have ever had. Good small portions, so we left feeling full and satisfied. Definitely recommend, the food was great the cooking was fun and the market tour was interesting. Wonderful host and humble Thai home to be welcomed to learn traditional dishes.

Incredible food from a wonderful host. - The cooking class was excellent. A list of meals to choose from before you go to suit everyone’s taste. The guide was lovely and so knowledgeable. One of the best things we’ve done. As a bonus the food was incredible.

Excellent cooking class, definitely recommend a visit if you're in Samui! - Wonderful cooking class, highly recommended!! We got to go to the local market to shop for fresh ingredients before making our way back to start the cooking class. We were given an in depth talk about Thai food, how to make a traditional paste, how cook the dishes & were given recipes to take home with us too. We enjoyed our day thank you! :)

Good, but not as envisaged… - The cooking class location is not what you would expect (from previous cooking classes that have been at a restaurant), this is down a rough track surrounded by some houses and near a building site. Regardless, the lady is enthusiastic to share her knowledge and encourages you to do everything. She grows the majority of the fruits and vegetables used in her garden and the class is concluded with a walk around it. I never knew that pineapples are red before maturing! A good experience.

Cancelled my full paid booking last minute - If I could leave zero stars i would. I booked this, paid in full and got my confirmation email. Then on the day of my cooking class they emailed me to say. Your class is already booked up would you like to change your date. I couldn't as I was tight on time so missed out on doing a cooking class altogether. What kind of disorganised organisation over books so badly they have to just cancel my booking. Don't book and plan around the class as it could be cancelled on you last minute.
