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.

A truly wonderful experience - I’m literally driving away from the cooking lesson now and I can’t wait to write about our experience, it was truly magical. A wonderful host, amazing staff and the food you get to cook and eat is out of this world. If you are in Koh Samui then o can’t recommend this experience enough. My Dad, who has never cooked a meal in his life, can now make Spring rolls from scratch, Seafood in Coconut Milk and Chicken Pad Thai. The whole cooking area and environment is exceptionally clean and the wonderful ladies are on hand to support. A truly enchanting experience.

Good but goes even better - The market tour was interesting. It would have been nice to make the curry pastes yourself. Seems a bit rehearsed but still very nice
