Great experience! - Great cooking class. Care has a passion for cooking and knows how to convey it clearly. We learned a lot about Thai cuisine and its ingredients in a fun and personal way and also cooked four very tasty dishes. Highly recommended!

A Heartwarming and Authentic Thai Cooking Experience with Chef Care - People connect through food — and this experience truly proved it. My Thai cooking class with Chef Care felt like an immersive connection to Thai culture, filled with warmth, learning, and flavor. Cooking is such a beautiful bonding activity, and I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Phuket.
Beyond the fun and cultural immersion, you’ll return home with a skill — the ability to cook authentic Thai dishes in a simple, traditional, and practical way.
I discovered this class through TripAdvisor and reached out to Chef Care directly. She was extremely responsive and accommodating, which I appreciated since holiday schedules can be unpredictable. As a vegetarian, I was delighted that she customized the menu for me with ease.
I booked a Sunday 9 a.m. class, which turned out to be perfect — the roads in Patong were quiet, and it was easy to reach the location using Google Maps. Chef Care greeted me warmly and drove me to the local market, where we picked up fresh ingredients. She explained the condiments, suggested reliable brands, and shared insider tips on what goes into each dish — it was both fun and educational.
Back at her spotlessly clean studio, I instantly felt comfortable and confident. Chef Care speaks excellent English, making the class smooth and easy to follow for international travelers. She carefully arranged all the ingredients and guided me through each step — from cutting and preparing vegetables to balancing the flavors of every dish.
We cooked a delicious Tom Yum soup, Green Curry with rice, Pad Thai, and of course, the classic Mango Sticky Rice. I was amazed by how many fresh herbs and aromatics go into these dishes — no wonder they taste so divine!
Chef Care’s kind assistant helped throughout, and as a sweet gesture, Chef Care surprised me with a lovely souvenir and her special cold iced tea, which I’ll never forget.
Chef Care is not only talented but also genuine, patient, and passionate about sharing Thai cuisine. For me, she represents the true heart of Phuket — warm, welcoming, and full of life.
Do not leave Phuket without taking this class.
It’s an experience that stays with you long after the trip — through memories, stories, and the flavors you’ll bring back home.
Thank you, Chef Care — I’ll definitely be back for another class!

Must do - We had a great time with Care, who passed on some of his know-how and good humor.
Warm and smiling, the chef first brought us to the local market to buy the necessary ingredients, before taking us to her kitchens, which were very nice and very clean.
We took advantage of his talent for cooking as well as the very good organization between different preparations and tastings.
After the cooking class, we received several PDFs with the recipes to remake at home, as well as small gifts from him.
Just perfect, thank you Care 🙏🏽

Fresh Authentic Homemade Thai Food - It was an amazing experience. The kitchen area and seating area were spotless and very well maintained. The trip to the local market was so informative and Care is so knowledgable about all the different produce and how and when to use them.
We bought fresh produce at the market then went back and prepared 4 different dishes. We Care giving guidance and tips it was so easy to make wonderful authentic Thai dishes. Also she makes cooking so much fun and is just a very pleasant person to be around.

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best cooking classes I’ve done in southeast Asia. Care took time to show us around the local market, explaining various ingredients and ways of cooking them, before heading back to her neat and clean studio to prepare four delicious dishes of traditional Thai cuisine. Class sizes are small (only two of us for this session), and we enjoyed each course as it was prepared. Educational and fun, very highly recommended.

It was AMAZING! The worst part was there just was t enough room in my stomach to enjoy all of the dishes we prepared. - The foods was amazing. Chef care was great with instructions and had loads of patience for her students. The visit to the market was fun because we were able to learn more about different things at the market.
