This was a highlight of our trip. - The food was amazing, Geng and O are wonderful instructors. No worries if you can’t cook, much of the prep is done for you and every step is calmly explained. I loved learning of the history or Koh Samui and their personal family connections to the island and Thailand as well. Do this, it’s so worth it!

Absolutely fantastic morning - Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Taken to local market and shown various produce, then allowed free time to browse. Taken to the cooking facilities and introduce to the team with a welcome drink. Cooked 4 dishes which could be tailored to your tastes with regards to spice. Also given the option of a fish or chicken dish. We even made our own coconut milk. Recipes then sent via watsapp so you can recreate at home. Staff friendly, funny and professional throughout. Would 100% recommend.

Authentic Thai Cooking Experience - This cooking class was taught by a family with recipes from their grandparents so it felt very authentic. We went to a local market and learned about the ingredients and it was easy to follow along in the class. I was blown away with the flavors we developed! I’m excited to take this knowledge home and share it with my own family.
