Excellent !!! - Excellent cooking class on Koh Samui in the Bophut region!
The group consisted of seven participants of various nationalities. The language was English. At the beginning, we drove to Laem Din Market in Chaweng. This is a very interesting local market that has everything you could want in terms of local products.
The dishes to be cooked were discussed with the participants, and everyone could make a request. A chef named Bung explained the basics and ingredients at the market very well. In the background, the orders and organization for the upcoming cooking class were being taken care of.
The cooking class itself took place in the Bophut region. There are two groups cooking at two big cooking stations. The kitchen is located a little way outside of Bophut. A total of five people work on the implementation. We were given a very friendly welcome and then cooked four Thai dishes. Everything was explained very simply and implemented with direct instructions at our own stove. The result was great ! Sarah and Bung are very experienced chefs who have also cooked in hotels in France for long periods of time. I was there with my daughter and I am almost married to a top chef from Germany. Really great, keep up the good work—Sarah, Bung, and Mung.

Excellent experience - Thank you for a lovely afternoon. We enjoyed learning so much about local produce and how to cook a variety of tasty Thai dishes. It was a privilege to have the lesson in the chef’s house, and as she said it is a real ‘local’ experience. Would highly recommend it.

Cooking at 'Samui Good Herb' - you must have made! - The cooking class was a great experience for us. We were picked up directly at the hotel in Bophut and taken to Lamai. There we bought some ingredients at the market and took a short tour, then we went to 'Samui Good Herb' in Lamai for cooking. The cooking class took place on a beautiful veranda in the garden, everything was perfectly prepared down to the last detail. The cooking was great fun, all dishes were explained very well and we learned a lot. Finally, there was also a short tour of the vegetable garden! We can absolutely recommend this cooking class!

Thai Cooking Class, Koh Samui - We had an amazing time at the Thai cooking class! It started with a trip to the local market, where our instructor walked us through the different herbs, vegetables, and spices—we even picked out some of our own fresh ingredients. Back in the kitchen, we learned how to make green curry from scratch, Thai pad (pad Thai), and crispy spring rolls. The instructor was patient, fun, and gave great tips on authentic techniques and flavors. It was hands-on, delicious, and a great way to dive into Thai culture. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn how to make these traditional dishes!

Authentic and delicious - We had a great time. The visit to the markets was really interesting. The cooking school was well set up and all the instructions were so easy to follow. The food we made was delicious and so quick and easy to prepare- I liked that each person could cook their own choices. Was a really good experience

Yummy! - It isn’t close to the cruise port. There is an additional cost from the service provider for transportation to the class.
But it’s definitely worthwhile. The instructor is great. She efficiently walked us through the preparation of the dishes. More than enough food! Great flavors provided by herbs from her garden, right next to the cook tops.

F-Heads - Don’t waste your time. Not showing up, no official cancellation. Hard to get money back. Go somewhere else, these are all f-heads

F-Heads - Horrible operator. Tries to reschedule last minute based on which tickets sold on which platform. Avoid at any cost
