Highly recommended. - From start to finish everything top. We were picked up from the hotel on time. The visit to the market is worth seeing and interesting. We enjoyed getting to know different spices and ingredients as well as cooking together. We would like to thank Wandee and her team for the great experience.

Fantastic!! - We loved every second of this trip! Our hosts were amazing! Pruek gave us lots of information on the guided market tour about ingredients used in Thai cooking! We learned how to make four dishes and each one was absolutely delicious! Chef Wandee was amazing, as was her team of chefs who were there to support! We were lucky to be in a small group with another couple and felt like we had a private cooking class! The food, atmosphere and value for money was fantastic! Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting khao lak!

Cooking Class & Market Tour - We really enjoyed our cooking class with Wandee and the market tour with Pruek. Wandering through the market, we were exposed to so many new and unique ingredients, and it was fun to understand how they were used. The cooking class atmosphere was very fun and relaxed, and Wandee and the team made us feel incredibly comfortable! I also very much appreciated that Wandee was able to customize the menu for a variety of dietary restrictions so no one felt like they were missing out on anything. Wandee also had excellent suggestions for the rest of our trip!

Superb experience in Khao Lak! - This was excellent value for money, and the food we made was delicious! We were contacted in advance of the class to ask whether there were any specific dishes we would like to make.

Adaptive to group needs, skilled instruction, DELICIOUS - This cooking experience was stellar from start to finish - the market tour guide was fun (and funny!), very engaging. The class I joined had 6 students which was a perfect size. Chef did an amazing job catering to select students’ vegetarian and gluten free requirements without diminishing the flavor/experience for those who love/eat all foods. The cooking station was spacious and ideal for watching each other. The Kung Papaya salad, Sarong (marinated shrimp wrapped/fried in egg noodle) and Kaeng Chu Chi (southern Thai curry) were all amazing. The flavors exploded and we cooked everything from scratch (FYI: some classes use pre-made curry paste, so you miss the steps of grinding your own). I will definitely book another Pakinnaka class when back in Khao Lak. It was also nice that craft beers and wine were available in addition to water/soft drinks.

Great for all the family - A brilliant Thai cooking class. The instructor was friendly and very patient, especially with the younger members of our party. It was an excellent way to experience the local culture, and we can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

A great experience! - After the punctual pick-up at the hotel, it went to the market first. Many things were explained here and some could be tasted. There was also time for shopping. Then we took the group to the cooking school. Everything was great prepared. Drinks were always available. When cooking everything was great explained and it was super delicious!! That was really a holiday highlight! Highly recommended!
