A must do experience in Khao Lak (or Thailand in general!) - Cannot recommend this experience enough. We were picked up from the hotel by a lovely guide, taken to the local market where we tried some delicious local treats. We then went for the cooking class and prepared four amazing meals - by the end of it we were very full! Each step of the way our chef Wandy explained what we were doing and what ingredients would work as a substitute. I would say it’s the tastiest meal we’ve ever cooked and had such a great time!

Delicious food - Had a fabulous time here - Wandee was very informative and good fun. We started with a tour of the fresh market to buy ingredients then back to the cookery school to make spring rolls, coconut milk soup, massaman and pad thai. So much delicious food to eat. A really good activity to do and can't wait to use the thai paste back here in the UK!

Great overall package - A super nice and pleasant cooking class! Picking up from the hotel was completely uncomplicated. The short tour of the local market was great. It explained everything that is important in vegetables, meat, seafood or fruit in Thai cuisine and how it can be used. Then we went to the semi-open kitchen (anti-alcoholic was completely included). We prepared a total of four different dishes, for which some ingredients were already cut to size, but you more or less cut and cooked everything yourself. Everything was always explained and shown outstandingly and the general mood in the course was also very pleasant due to the relaxed nature of the cook. The food at the end was simply excellent in quality and taste! Can only recommend it for anyone who wants to take a little culinary trip to Thai cuisine!

Thank You Wandee! Class was fireee! - This Authentic Thai cooking class is worth every penny. Wandee is very professional, fun and engaging. She reached out a day before to ask us what we wanted to cook. She also took us for a tour of the local market. Wandee is extremely knowledgeable, and was the perfect host. I'd recommend this cooking class to everyone, and would even go back and do it again. Thanks Wandee!

Authentic Thai Cooking Experience with Wandee - "A wonderful experience! The Thai cooking class with Wandee was absolutely fantastic. Shopping at the market together was a highlight — the freshest ingredients and fascinating insights into Thai cuisine. Wandee is incredibly warm and accommodating, taking everyone’s preferences into account. The instructions were clear, patient, and full of helpful tips. In the end, I got to enjoy delicious dishes that I can now recreate at home. Absolutely recommend!"
