5.00We were picked up from the hotel, arrived we were a group of 8 people and another group was at the other table. Everyone cooked 3 dishes and could choose between different ones. In the end, everyone ate their own dishes, leftovers could be taken away. The food was all very delicious and authentic, at the end there was a recipe book. It was fun:)
Fun Evening! Great Food!

5.00This cooking school was good because there were several choices of curry, soup & salad and stir-fry, each of which participants could choose the dish they wanted to make. By making different dishes for each participant, you can see and learn how to make other dishes. The dishes we make are quite hearty - spring rolls, curry, soups & salads, stir-fry and mango sticky rice - so we recommend that you come hungry. I attended the afternoon class, but the evening class seemed to have a lot of participants, so if you want to be taught slowly, the afternoon class is better. Cleaning is also thorough, hygiene is no problem at all, but since it is open air, you should bring mosquito repellent if you are concerned I was also able to get picked up and dropped off at an additional cost outside the Ao Nang area.
All very good, since the...

5.00We had a very positive experience at this cooking course. Came with our adolescent who was well helped where necessary. Small club, plenty of guidance and tasty dishes. Nice experience, good food and home with a recipe book. Recommended!
The best cooking class without a doubt. Don’t have breakfast first!

5.00Excellent experience. We were able to cook a significant number of dishes, really participate in each step and understand how to reproduce these recipes at home. We then ate all our small dishes, so hearty that we left with “doggy bags”. A very good value for money, and a very good atmosphere!
Fun Christmas dinner with family and new friends

5.00Fun and informative introduction to Thai cooking. You will prepare plenty of food that you will eat so don’t fill up on the first dish! Each participant creates their own dishes so everyone gets what they want.
Strongly recommended

5.00My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. They picked us up from the hotel on time and even made sure we were back in time for another activity we had planned. There were some other people there, including children aged between about 8 upwards - 7 of us in total. The ladies at the cooking school were very organised and helpful, giving us plenty of options and explaining the dishes as required. They had excellent knowledge of the ingredients and were able to share this competently in English. The ladies were very kind and friendly, helping us to adapt our dishes to suit our tastes (e.g. mild or hot spice). We were not rushed, given time to eat our dishes and also provided with bags to take what we could not manage away. We were even given a little recipe book to take home. We really enjoyed it and would strongly recommended to anyone who wants to learn how to cook some delicious Thai dishes. Thank you
We really enjoyed the...

5.00We really enjoyed the class! We made many different dishes and learned a lot. They can also adapt almost every dish into a vegetarian version which was much appreciated! The class is quite high tempo but you get a recipe book afterwards. One small detail: the recipes in the book are always the non-veggie variant, so it would have been nice to get the book at the start of the class to be able to make some adaptations 😇
Ya Cooking School was great!
