A fabulous Thai cooking experience that catered for our large family group. The team worked well together and fully supported our immersive cooking experience. We left with a greater understanding of Thai cooking and look forward to trying these new recipes in our own kitchens
Fun and tasty!

Great experience at Wandee’s cooking class. We visited the market to see the produce. Then we cooked some of the best Thai food I’ve tasted. We made spring rolls, Tom yum soup, pad Thai and massaman curry. Food was plentiful and ingredients were fresh. Wandee, Ole and Force were excellent teachers!
Highly recommend- easy and fun and filling!

From start to finish, this food tasting tour was an absolute highlight of my trip! Every stop was carefully chosen, showcasing not only the incredible flavors of the region but also the culture and history behind each dish. Our guide was both knowledgeable and passionate, weaving stories into every bite and making the whole experience feel truly authentic. The variety was outstanding — from street food gems to hidden family-run restaurants I never would have found on my own. Each tasting felt like a new adventure, and it was clear how much thought and love had gone into curating the tour. Portions were generous, so come hungry! What stood out most was how personal and engaging the experience was. It felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed into the local food community. By the end, I not only had a very happy stomach, but also a much deeper appreciation of the local cuisine and the people who create it. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to explore through food, don’t hesitate — this tour is a must-do!
Excellent tour to see and taste regional Thai dishes

Thank you Wandee, the opportunity to taste local dishes at hidden restaurants was fantastic. We enjoyed the experience of watching the chef cook soft shell crab pad Thai, deep fried mussels, slow cooked pork and many other dishes for us to taste. The textures, taste and variety were a great way to explore the local cuisine. The next stop was to the local food market for the sweet treats and to see the traditional way to make the fish cake curry. Krua Baitoey Michelin recognised restaurant was a treat the yellow curry and steamed fish dishes - tasty and so fresh. My favourite the coffee/tea house in old town was beautiful to explore and the drinks were a nice way to finish the evening. I can highly recommend for young and old. Your curated food tour was perfect for us to explore the food and the area. We will be back again.
Great day out- lots of food? fun and laughs!

We went as a group to two restaurants plus a tea/coffee place. You will get a lot of food, so come hungry. The places are off the beaten track and we would never have thought to try them or many of the dishes we had. I had the best soft shell crab I have ever had and a fantastic Tom Yum soup. At the first place we had 6-8 dishes and the second we counted 12. Lots of different flavours and we explored far beyond the typical Thai food we had been exposed to. One of the best things I have done in Thailand.

What a great success to have chosen this wonderful "experience". A very entertaining and didactic morning too, all the people, from the driver who picked us up and accompanied us to the market for shopping 🛒 to the kitchen assistants 🍳 and of course the star, the teacher who has treated us luxury. Thank you very much and we will repeat it again sometime to continue enjoying and learning Thai cuisine.
Fabulous trip - thoroughly recommended

We were collected on time and driven in a very comfy car. Wandee was an amazing guide with such a knowledge and passion for food . The food we ate was delicious and the restaurant had such an interesting history The added bonus was a trip to the local street food market, ending in a visit to the coolest coffee shop ever. If you’re thinking of booking this trip, just do it. You’ll be glad you did

This tour exceeded our expectations. Wandee was a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and with a great sense of humour. We loved the meal prepared at the little restaurant and had a great time wandering the street food stalls showcasing so many delicious foods. Wandee went out of her way to make sure we tried any food we expressed an interest in. There were many items we hadn’t tasted before which we thoroughly enjoyed. There was nothing we could fault over the whole tour and we would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone contemplating doing it!
