Enjoyable class - Hubby and I did this class.
It was a lovely start to visit the markets and taste lots of different fruits. It would have been nice to watch the choice of the ingredients they bought there to use but was a nice beginning to the class.
The class was informative VJ was well spoken and interactive with the group during the class.
We made a number of dishes that were all extra tasty I especially enjoyed the mango sticky rice 🤤 hubby loved the tom yum soup. We both can’t wait to make the pad Thai for the family 🍜

Excellent cooking class - We had a really good experience!
The driver picked us on time in a clean and comfortable vehicle. We got to the market and the girls explained us about the ingredients, was very interesting. Then we got to the place where we did the cooking class. The place was very organized and clean. We had a great time with the staff, the explained everything to details, and let us do the food alone which was delicious.
We really recommend this cooking class!

A Must for Phuket visit - This was an absolute highlight in our Island Hopping Tour. We were picked up right on time, had an extremely informative market tour and was welcomed at a well equipped and clean cooking studio. Chef VJ was an excellent teacher, recipes were easy to follow and everything tasted great after completion - no flops :-)
