Apparently I am the best chef in Thailand - Amazing class. Highly recommend. Couldn’t believe the best food I would have in Thailand came from my own two hands. Everyone cooked their own individual dishes as opposed to some cooking classes where people are assigned to specific cooking stations and only cook part of the process.

Incredible from start to finish!! - Absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish the entire process was so fun and the staff was so friendly. The food was incredible and you get step by step instructions on how to make everything. I could not recommend it more.
