Amazing Cooking Experience! - This cooking class was amazing!!! We toured around their organic farm, which was beautiful and very peaceful. We made 3 delicious dishes on a covered outdoor pavilion. It rained while I was there, but we were very protected under the pavilion, and the class just continued on. It was a magnificent location! Our teacher demonstrated how to make each dish for us, then watched as we went to our stations and made our own. They patiently offered advice and suggestions, as needed. After making each dish, we sat down and ate what we had made. So tasty! Vegetarian and vegan options were readily available and accounted for! Everything was fun and very tasty! The staff made us all mango sticky rice for dessert as well, which was very kind! Plus, they gave us a link so we can download all the recipes we made, and some that we didn't! I highly recommend this class! It was such fun, and I'm so excited to go home and put my new skills to work in my own kitchen!

Fun and easy learning experience! - Learned a lot about herbs and vegetables used in Thai dishes. Was helpful to have the market visit prior to starting cooking as well. The cooking experience was very well facilitated with a good amount of the prep work already done but now I feel ready to recreate these dishes at home! It was also very cool to be able to make the curry paste from scratch. My chosen cooking menu shown here: tom yum soup, pad thai, and panang curry.

Best cooking class! - What a great morning! Kiki hosted my group's cooking class, and it was fantastic! We first stopped off at a market where she went through lots of different Thai food bits before we all got the bus to the cooking class location. What a beautiful place! The whole morning was well organised and was like clockwork. Kiki was so knowledgeable and friendly and just a great host. The food we made was spot on - so stunningly beautiful and delicious! Would highly recommend this tour!
