What an amazing experience. The whole family is there helping and cooking. Both Keng and his wife are funny and warm. The food is amazing and there is such an amazing kitchen set up which makes it a fun environment as well as an easy setting to talk to the other people you don’t know. The tour of the market is quick but a really great way to start understanding Thai food (even for a chef) and the history and that they provide is a great.. ahhhh moment. I really recommend going to Go Samui. It’s amazing.

Excellent cooking class with lovely family. Shared their heritage of island food cultivation and family recipes with pride and passion. Beautiful facilities and the meal was delicious and plentiful.

Very friendly and informative class with very simple but tasty dishes! We didn’t end up going to the market because it was raining but still felt like we got the whole experience. There was so much food! You have your own individual cooking stations and get four courses.

Our family had a tremendous experience - complete with a menu that suited our family’s dietary needs (gluten-free, vegetarian) and supporting our younger cooks (5 and 8 year olds). O, Geng and their family were very inviting, organized and generous in sharing the history and culture of Thai food, in particular Geng’s family recipes of Koh Samui. I highly recommend this experience for families and anyone interested in a wonderful cooking experience.

A highly enjoyable experience from start to finish. A very ‘hands on’ and authentic cooking class. Geng and his family were great hosts, it was pleasure learning some of their family’s recipes.

We had a very nice group with couples from all over the world. Cheng and his family provide a wonderful (in our case) afternoon in a relaxed setting. You will be well supervised and make delicious dishes. In between you eat the first dishes together. After this, the second round of cooking starts and you end up eating together again. We got a lot of information about the location ingredients and differences between the cuisine of the mainland and Koh Samui.

Our experience with GoFamilyCook was genuinely one of the highlights of our time in Samui. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t a tourist “tick-the-box” cooking class — it was an invitation into a family’s culture, knowledge, and passion for Thai food. The teaching was outstanding. She is an exceptional instructor: warm, patient, clear, and deeply knowledgeable. Every step was explained in a way that made sense, whether you love cooking already or are a complete beginner. I learned why ingredients are used, not just how — which makes such a difference. Her husband’s passion for preserving authentic Samui flavours and ingredients was just as inspiring. You could feel how deeply he cares about keeping traditional tastes alive — not diluted or westernised — and about sharing the real food of the island. The ingredients were fresh, local, and clearly chosen with care, and the flavours were incredible. The setup itself was beautiful, calm, and thoughtfully organised, and the food we cooked was honestly some of the best Thai food we ate on the island — because it was real, balanced, and made with understanding. This felt less like a class and more like being welcomed into a family kitchen and learning from people who truly love what they do. If you want an authentic, meaningful, and delicious cooking experience in Samui, I cannot recommend GoFamilyCook highly enough.
