Go ahead and book- cooking class! - I had such a nice time cooking the meals that I wanted to cook. Everything came out so delicious and the owners could not have been any nicer. I also got an education in the market, which was so much fun.

Absolutely amazing, would definitely recommend - Geng and O were so accomodating, informative and patient. The market tour was great and then we got to whip up some delicious Thai food under their guidance. The facilities were well set up and them and their staff made everything as fun and enjoyable as possible.

Perfect activity to learn Thai cocking. - Perfect activity for a couple. Pickup at our hotel in the morning (9:00), then we visited a local market where a focus was done on Thai vegetables and spices. Then we started to cook 4 dishes and it was funny and tasty. Don’t hesitate to do it. Gina & Oli. Luxembourg

Group of 5 had a great time cooking with Geng and O! Come on an empty stomach! - We were picked up from our accommodation, welcomed by butterfly pea drinks after arriving. O gave us a summary of what to expect for the day, as well as our menu. She demonstrated how coconut meat is harvested, giving us the chance to try as well. We had green curry, stir-fried veggies, chicken wings, and a banana dessert - we were absolutely STUFFED by the end of our visit. O took many photos of us, as our hands were busy cooking. We chatted with O and Geng, and loved hearing about their family, how they met, and life in general on the island. They are very funny, friendly, and easy-going. Great activity, especially when the weather is not ideal for outdoor activities. The day we attended, there had been bad storms. As a result, the electricity was out, but the team made seamless adjustments so we were able to wash our hands, cook, etc. After finishing up, we got dropped off at a place other than our accommodation, saving a taxi fare. Highly recommend this activity! Geng also has many other "side hustles", including shuttle service, tours, etc.

Loved everything about this cookery course - I visited Koh Samui and wanted to do a cookery course and found Go Cook Samui on Viator. The pick up service was seamless and our first stop was at the marker where we were talked through ingredients and different types of paste and if we wanted to take any home the ones we should be looking at (as they are certified.) We them hopped back in the van to go and start the cooking. The three things I loved most about this course were 1) the instructors were friendly and it was a family run business, it was clear they have a passion for doing this 2) I loved that it was a local Samui style course vs a standard Thai cookery course. Everyday they have a local dish on their menu which for us was Chicken and galangal curry. 3) We make our own coconut milk, having been shown the traditional way of doing it. I came away feeling like I’d learnt so much and truly made things from scratch. The day I did this course it was raining and the kitchen whilst outdoors so you can appreciate the surrounding, it’s covered well so you don’t have to worry about the weather. I would definitely recommend this course and told all my friends and family it was in my top 3 things I did on my visit to Cambodia and Thailand.

Authentic and special experience - Amazing experience! i was picked up from my hotel and started with a very interesting visit in a local market, with all the explanation. than got to a beautiful garden and had wonderful workshop, when both of the instructors (very nice couple), added a lot of information about local cooking and tradition. they were very kind and answered all of our questions. it was lovely to see their family in their garden, nurturing the land. they were very kind to create a vegan menu for me, and it was delicious!! already coming back tomorrow to learn some more.
