This experience was... - This experience was fantastic from the moment our driver picked us up! Our teacher (Ms King!!) showed us around the market and explained everything and answered our questions too. When we got to the cooking school, the facilities and team were so nice, and Ms King continued teaching us with Thai techniques and tips. We loved that we could choose our dishes so we both learned different recipes and then had a feast to share! We left with full bellies and great big smiles. And we have the recipes and skills to relive the meals when we get home!

Very good cooking class - It was a good class. Everything was prepared for us. The dishes cook quickly, and you can adjust them to your taste, and take away the leftovers. There was a mix up with my dish, but the teacher fixed it and I got detailed instructions on how to cook traditional pad thai and how to substitute some ingredients. I had a great experience.

Awesome Cooking Class - Phuket Thai Cooking Academy was wonderful! My husband and I attended the morning session which was really nice as there were only 2 couples which allowed a more individual attention. We really appreciated that Ploy was able to make slight adjustments to our dishes (spice, sweet and sour levels) to our personalized taste! This was a great experience.

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.

Great lesson on Thai flavors - Was very relaxed & enjoyed the market introduction stop off on our way. Good value & great flavors. Felt a bit rushed & dishes could have been cooked longer. An introduction to others in the class ie (1st name & which country) would have been more inclusive as I was attending on my own. Thankfully I was sat with a couple of friends cooking together to eat. Was a small class of 5 people But overall was worth doing & did learn about the flavors of Thai cooking 🍳 😋 🫶
