Organised by our hotel we were picked up and taken to the cooking school. We had a welcome drink and then we got stuck into it!. We picked 4 dishes for our group which i thought was good as otherwise it would have been way too much food and complicated! Our instructor was very clear and i liked the way she spoke to us about how to vary the dishes if we wanted. We were given a cook book with a pen to take notes. All the ingredients were there at our fingertips and she showed us how to cook it, then we had a go! No washing up and everything was taken away like clockwork. We only had 5 in the group but i thought how lovely this setting was - all outside, and surrounded by greenery. A great experience for my niece and my brother. Thanks!

Very bad communication, booked a cooking class with them and cancelled a few hours before the class was supposed to start, as they were fully booked. If they were fully booked they should have messaged me after I booked the class not a few hours before the class starts. Would not recommend booking with them.
A must visit experience!

Great cooking adventure. Super cooking teacher. Great care in time. It was a lot of fun. Definitely worth it. We were also lucky that the cooking group was quite small that day. Super explained and you get many tips and also a small cookbook for home. I feel well prepared to test those cooked at home:-) who is on Koh Lanta, definitely join in. Thanks to the great team:-)

Wonderful experience at Lanta Thai Cookery School. Booked through a local travel guide, we were picked up at our Hotel and transported to the venue, a beautiful clean open, well equipped kitchen where we met our cooking instructor San who herself is a treat with her happy smile and cheerful personality. We got to choose 4 different Thai dishes from her Cookery book and had step by step instructions through each step, including little tips along the way. After each dish we had a small break where we could taste our various dishes that were simply delicious! We chose to cook Phad Thai, Panang Curry, Pad Krapow and our all around favourite Khao Soi with Chicken. NB: DO NOT HAVE BREAKFAST Whatever we didn’t eat we got to take home as Takeaways. Great value for money with bonus cookery book! Transported back to our Hotel. Well done to San and her team for a 1st Class experience!
