5.00Fun day outside. We briefly toured a local market and saw some exotic fruits, then learned to make all kinds of tasty traditional dishes. The staff did all the hard work cleaning and giving us the ingredients in the correct quantities and guided us through each step. All the dishes came out great. We also got to drink fresh hibiscus tea and tour their organic garden. Our teacher Natty was really sweet and fun and helped us with everything. We had a beautiful fun day all cooking and eating together! I went alone but there were some other solo travelers there and everyone was friendly.

5.00From the moment I walked into this cooking school, I felt welcomed, inspired, and excited to learn. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, and every detail reflected a genuine passion for food, culture, and hospitality. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, making even complex techniques feel approachable and fun. I loved how hands-on the experience was — not just following recipes, but truly understanding the ingredients, flavors, and traditions behind each dish. What made this experience especially memorable was the sense of connection and joy throughout the class. Cooking here felt less like a lesson and more like sharing a beautiful cultural experience with friends. By the end, I left not only with delicious dishes and new skills, but also with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for cooking. I would highly recommend this cooking school to anyone looking for an authentic, meaningful, and unforgettable culinary experience. It was easily one of the highlights of my trip.
Team Love all the way

5.00The cooking course was so fun. It was well planned out with us being busy all day. We were there from 8 am till 4 pm. Our teacher Love was amazing, he knew so much about the food and was so nice. He made the day so fun and tried our food to tell us how to improve. We get to take home the recipe. It cost 1200 baht, which is so worth it. Be careful the food is spicyyy.
