Lekkhy & her team were... - Lekkhy & her team were amazing. While the market didn't match due to not many shops being open on a Monday, seeing a lot of the herbs & veggies used in Thai dishes and indeed what we were going to make was great. When it came to the dishes, Lekkhy was amazing. We all had same/similar dishes and she was able to not only guide us to what steps we need to take but also point out what else we needed to do. Moving to the cooking, it was amazing learning how to cook 4 dishes we wanted & not only learn how to make Mango & sticky rice, but also learn how to add natural colour from plants. I also looked at many cooking school options & I don't regret going to this school - it's well worth it!

Great Fun and Learning Experience - We enjoyed the cooking class very much. The classroom was well equipped and set up nicely, the class was small, the instructors very helpful and attentive. My husband, who does not cook at home at all, was able to follow along and had a great time! Our chef instructor, Lekki, was the absolute best! She was very calm, informative, and helpful, just very laid back and wanted to make sure we enjoyed the foods we cooked. We also went to the market and got an education on the spices and ingredients we were using. The class was super helpful in understanding Thai food and knowing what each dish is. We made 5 dishes to eat, which we had a choice of. Each person made his or her own. It was fun, no stess, instructors right there to help, and we produced a really delicious meal! I would definitely recommend to anyone!

If you want to learn authentic Thai cuisine, here - I participated in three cooking classes during my one week stay. This is the most serious of these, or even the Beginner class, but it is about Thai food and is by no means for beginners. It is not recommended to participate just for fun. Prices are no different from other cooking classes that offer fixed menus, but four out of five are a choice of two. I was fascinated by the choice of dishes that I couldn't learn in other cooking classes. It was just me and a British man on the day, but the menu was brilliantly different. I thought it was amazing how many instructors could teach that at the same time. The ingredients are prepared for each person, but there are many steps to prepare them yourself. It felt just right for me, who had felt unsatisfied with the flexion district glass of other countries. In addition, learning five dishes means tasting five dishes. I couldn't finish it because I had enough for a party. Takeout is also available, so you should ask. I was unable to do this because I had participated in the last day of the itinerary, so I did a waste of time. In the afternoon class, we go to the market first, but what? Quiet atmosphere. Shops are closed and there are no customers. Still, I was fully briefed on the necessary materials. If you expect a lively market, you might want to attend a morning class. In my case, I was very happy to get a certain material with the help of the staff that would have been impossible to get without knowing Thai.

The staff and the chef... - The staff and the chef were excellent. They catered to my family of four, which includes an 8-year-old and an 11-year-old. The youngest still required parental guidance as expected to make sure he didn't cut himself or hurt himself cooking. Chef would come by and monitor and help him throughout the process once we got to the wok. Recipes were explained thoroughly and the cooking process of fantastic. All the food came out mouth-wateringly delicious.

Tingly Thai cooking. - A really professionally organised cooking class. Clear instructions from very friendly chef Lekky, great sense of humor & the rest of the team. All dishes turned incredibly delicious & beautiful (cannot wait to execute again at home. Also some substitute ingredients suggested if impossible to find at home) A great morning, kháawp khun khâ Thai cooking Academy.

Excellent morning’s cooking. - The instructions were very clear. A friendly atmosphere. And the organisation was thorough. We learn some new techniques and were introduced to new ingredients on the tour of the market.

Extremely disorganized experience. - I reached out before the scheduled class and never received a response, but still went to the meeting point on time because I did not want to risk being marked as a no-show. The instructions said to meet at “Exit 3” of the station, but the exits were not clearly labeled, so even finding the correct location was unnecessarily confusing. After waiting there with no host and no communication, I sent many messages and still received no response. Almost an hour later, the host finally replied and simply suggested rescheduling after my entire morning had already been wasted. I eventually received a refund (not directly from the host). The experience itself was completely unprofessional and poorly managed.
