Best Thai cooking experience - What a wonderful experience! Highly organised, from pick up, to the market, then onto the Academy. Truly sensational flavours and a delicious banquet to enjoy after learning the art to cooking traditional Thai food! We highly recommend and encourage others to give this experience a go!

Half Day Afternoon Cooking Class - I had an incredible experience on this cooking tour! I was picked up right from my hotel and taken on a scenic drive to a local market, where my guide—who spoke excellent English—introduced me to the fresh ingredients we’d be using for the four dishes I chose to cook. It was not only informative but also a great way to immerse myself in the local culture. After the market, we arrived at the cooking academy where I was warmly greeted with a welcome drink by another friendly staff member, along with my guide. The hands-on cooking class was so much fun! I learned the techniques behind each dish and got to prepare everything myself, with clear guidance and helpful tips throughout. The best part? Sitting down afterward to enjoy the delicious meals I had just prepared. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the entire team made the experience memorable from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to combine local culture, food, and fun!

Solo Travel Foodie from Atlanta, GA USA - It was great to get background on the raw ingredients during the market shopping. I truly appreciated the hands-on experience of preparing the food AND the option of a menu of my choosing. I must say, my food turned out great....delicious! I would recommend this Tour without hesitation.

Fuiyoh! - This was really an excellent experience. Again a cooking class is going to be a highlight of our trip to Thailand. We’ve been to a cooking class before, but I think this one is better. It’s in a beautiful hill above town so away from all the traffic and bustle. We took a Grab taxi there to the meeting point at the market and Ploy was on time already there waiting for us. This is important in a country where tours are often late. The market tour was wonderful and all the various fresh produce, sauces, pastes, and homemade ingredients were explained to us. The cooking facilities were very clean and air-conditioned, surrounded by a beautiful garden of trees. We cooked four different dishes, each in a short period of time (it did not take half a day) which was nice. And since we started in the morning now we have our afternoon free to do other things. We even got a picture cooking on a wok with an Uncle Roger chicken in the background. Fuiyoh!

Super fun and delicious - This was a great cooking class. We liked our experience in the market and then the fast paced cooking class. Everything was prepped and ready to go and we all got to select our own menus. I think we actually enjoyed the spring rolls we made here better than spring rolls anywhere else. I would recommend!

Great cooking class - highly recommended! - Super Organisation! We learned a lot about the regional fruits and vegetables during the market tour and were able to take some ingredients like chili paste directly with us. Ploy gave us great guidance and we had great fun throughout the course. The food was incredibly delicious and very authentic. We can highly recommend this cooking class!

Birthday present was a success! - This market tour and cooking class was my birthday gift for my friend. It was wonderful. The instructor and staff were so competent and delightful and it made the experience really enjoyable. Our food was not only delicious and fun to cook, my friend said it was her most favourite Thai food ever! Thanks to this great team, my friend had a brilliant birthday. I was delighted also because everything was made vegan at my request and it turned out beautifully. It was a great morning.
