This was so fun and delicious! Our teacher was funny and kind, and we learned new chopping skills, new ingredients, new techniques. We went in the low season (July) so it was just us and the teacher. We made larb with chicken, massaman curry, sweet and sour prawn stir fry, and mango sticky rice. We were given a recipe book with 10 dishes that we will take back as well.
Absolute heart recommendation

The Lanta Thai cooking school I can heartily recommend. The cooking class was a special experience. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Thai cuisine. We were lucky and were a small group of four people, which made the whole thing even more special.

Superb experience. The recipes are varied and quite easy to make. Everything is in English so you need a minimum of mastery of the language otherwise the experience may be less appreciated. The cooks are very attentive and friendly. And you will taste your dishes, so obviously very good. I recommend.
Awesome foodie experience

Spent half a day in the Lanta Thai cookery school with our lovely teacher San. We had the opportunity to cook 4 different dishes that we selected as a group during our welcome drink. Then it was straight to ingredients and prepping before we cooked and ate eat dish in turn. We were given lots of tips and tricks to use as well as a booklet with all of the recipes in to take home. It was a really enjoyable experience. We were given the choice of cooking chicken, prawns or veggie so there’s choice for all dietary preferences. Make sure you go there hungry! They will box leftovers up for you, but be warned, there is a lot of (amazing!) food :)
Fantastic - worthwhile for people with a lot of cooking experience as well as for occasional cooks

Last night we were able to experience the dinner cooking class with Sun. We learned, laughed and tasted so much. This cooking school is very well organized and takes place in a strikingly beautiful house on the first floor above a popular restaurant. The team chose 4 dishes from a small cookbook, which we prepared together. Yesterday we cooked: Krab Minced Gai Salad, Spring Rolls, Massaman Curry and Sticky Rice with Mango. Everything was explained step by step - Sun is a great teacher. There were 7 of us participants from the USA, Belgium and Germany.
Super great experience
