Authentic Thai cooking experience with June from Samui Good Herb - This authentic and well organised cooking class with June from Samui Good Herb was excellent. I especially liked that it took place in June’s home in Lamai and ended with a local fresh food market tour. The tour gave me the confidence to visit other food markets and know what to buy.
June was a great teacher. She gave us a briefing on typical Thai ingredients and recipes before we started cooking which was useful. The recipes were presented in easy to follow steps with ingredients partially prepped. June made sure to help when necessary but was careful not to take over which I appreciated. She also reminded us to take photos of the ingredients and various steps of recipes we chose to cook so it would be easier to replicate when we got back home.
Thanks June, it was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Authentic and enjoyable Thai Cooking Experience - I had a terrific, authentic Thai cooking experience with June from Samui Good Herb at her home in Lamai. As well as being our cooking teacher, June also picked up and dropped participants at our accomodation which was great.
To commence, June gave us interesting background information on traditional Thai ingredients & dishes to set the context. On the job, she was very organised and had all of our cooking stations setup with recipe cards and some of the prep work already done, so her instructions were particularly clear and easy to follow. She was generous with her cooking tips and the results, especially my Penang Curry (Thai favourite) were delicious!
Her whole setup was authentic, clean and very well thought out.
The market tour afterwards was also a great learning experience and very enjoyable.
Thank you June! I would give your experience more than 5 stars if I could.

Excellent experience - Thank you for a lovely afternoon. We enjoyed learning so much about local produce and how to cook a variety of tasty Thai dishes. It was a privilege to have the lesson in the chef’s house, and as she said it is a real ‘local’ experience. Would highly recommend it.

Cooking at 'Samui Good Herb' - you must have made! - The cooking class was a great experience for us. We were picked up directly at the hotel in Bophut and taken to Lamai. There we bought some ingredients at the market and took a short tour, then we went to 'Samui Good Herb' in Lamai for cooking. The cooking class took place on a beautiful veranda in the garden, everything was perfectly prepared down to the last detail. The cooking was great fun, all dishes were explained very well and we learned a lot. Finally, there was also a short tour of the vegetable garden! We can absolutely recommend this cooking class!

Thai Cooking Class, Koh Samui - We had an amazing time at the Thai cooking class! It started with a trip to the local market, where our instructor walked us through the different herbs, vegetables, and spices—we even picked out some of our own fresh ingredients. Back in the kitchen, we learned how to make green curry from scratch, Thai pad (pad Thai), and crispy spring rolls. The instructor was patient, fun, and gave great tips on authentic techniques and flavors. It was hands-on, delicious, and a great way to dive into Thai culture. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn how to make these traditional dishes!

Authentic and delicious - We had a great time. The visit to the markets was really interesting. The cooking school was well set up and all the instructions were so easy to follow. The food we made was delicious and so quick and easy to prepare- I liked that each person could cook their own choices. Was a really good experience

Yummy! - It isn’t close to the cruise port. There is an additional cost from the service provider for transportation to the class.
But it’s definitely worthwhile. The instructor is great. She efficiently walked us through the preparation of the dishes. More than enough food! Great flavors provided by herbs from her garden, right next to the cook tops.

F-Heads - Don’t waste your time. Not showing up, no official cancellation. Hard to get money back. Go somewhere else, these are all f-heads
