our hotel pick up was cancelled a few before the start of the activity as our hotel was too far out (not an issue for the elephant or zip lining experience). paid for a taxi to be there at 3.30pm as instructed, we then spent just under 2 hours driving around picking up other people who were even further out than we were! waste of time and bad communication from this travel agent. activity itself ok, chef was more interested in one of the ladies in the group so rest of us were ignored. we left before the dessert. it is a lot of money and you would expect better value for that amount. if you are going to do a cooking course, look for a different operstor
our pick up was cxld a few days before start of event as our hotel was outside the zone. we were told to be on site at 3.30pm so had to pay for taxi. when we arrived we had to go in a van and we drove around for more than one hour and 20 min picking other people up. complete waste of our time. safe yourself the hassle and look for a cooking class near your hotel. not worth the money
Was amazing…English explanations easy to understand and going to the market before we started to cook gave us all a solid explanation of all the ingredients. We had a fantastic time and our chef had a great sense of humour and he certainly added to the entire evening being fun and the best money spent on a really wonderful experience. Thank you we will be back!
The staff were amazing as is…we were taken to a market where we learnt all about the different Thai ingredients and what the uses were. The actual chef spoke good English had a fantastic sense of of humour. We cooked all our dinner then ate it …..great experience . Highly recommend it. Money well spent
A surprise-it was way better than I expected .A great experience and well hosted. The host was very generous with her time and experience
This was the highlight of my trip to Koh Samui! I could not recommend this more. From getting picked up from our accommodation and travelling to the markets. Our leader was so well informed. Answered all the questions about what is used and why. She was so knowledgeable and passionate. I could not believe that I was able to cook what I did, so so yummy and set out so well. Also being able to hear why each ingredient is used and being helped through the process. This is a must do if you are coming to Koh Samui.
It was a great experience. An interesting introduction to the secrets of Thai cuisine. Would surely book again! Pick-up service was very timely, and session started with grocery shopping at the local market.
You wrote me a text telling me I would be picked up at my hotel. Nobody came. When I phoned you after one hour of waiting you said the class “wasn’t available”. I’m still waiting for my refund.
From visiting a local market to be shown different ingredients to making our chosen recipes from scratch was a great experience. Jun is an amazing teacher who had us engaged from the start and explained how to build the flavours to create wonderful Thai dishes which we enjoyed eating. We would thoroughly recommend this fun and informative experience
The Thai cooking class was an amazing experience. It began with the tour operator checking with us about what we would like to learn how to make and also what meat we were comfortable with. The pick up from the hotel was seamless and the teacher was extremely punctual. She began by taking us on a local market tour. We learnt about various veggies and herbs that we commonly used in Thai cooking. It was so much fun to get a glimpse into the true behind the scenes of life of a Thai family. The class was held in her home and that just made the experience all the more intimate and special. She introduced us to her garden and all the fruits, vegetables and herbs that she grows. Her goal was to ensure that we learn the method and also grasp the sequence of steps required to make authentic Thai food. I HIGHLY recommend this class... you have really enjoy the experience.
Such a good experience!! Loved the food we cooked and took home some really good recipes. Our Host was super friendly and showed us Thai spices and herbs at a local market before we started cooking.
The class was great. Viator is a SCAM!!! We booked 8 people, called two days before, and asked to increase the attendees to 11. First, the agent said fine and charged us. Then told us no! So we said OK, 8 it is. Then they called us on the way to the class so that we could increase the class to 11. They double-charged us. THIS COMPANY is a SCAM. Go through your hotel concierge
First time I have ever done a cooking excursion. I liked it a lot. Pick up at hotel was straightforward. The market tour was very interesting and informative. They do a good job of prepping some of the more complicated aspects of a dish so you have time to complete several dishes. They have bags and stuff to take back food as you will make too much.
From pick up to drop off we had an amazing time at our Thai cooking class. We learned a lot from our instructor about Thai cooking and the ingredients involved. The visit to the market really helped this. The recipes were delicious and will be easily replicated at home. One of the highlights of our Thailand trip.
Loved visiting the market. Chef explained different seasonings and vegetables. He also discussed alternatives for vegetables if not available. Cooking was fun and easy. The chef would offer suggestions after tasting and let us taste his as well. Very helpful to get authentic.
What a fun day we had at our Thai Cooking Class in Koh Samui. The driver picked us up at the cruise port and drove us to our class. Everything needed to prepare the dishes was ready. The meat and produce were excellent quality. Chanita, our hostess, was so much fun. Her directions were easy to follow. After each dish was completed, Chanita and her staff would serve us the dish poolside for us to enjoy. We prepared three dishes, chicken stir fry, Thai green curry with chicken, and vegetable fried rice. The food was delicious. We would definitely recommend this tour. The only suggestion would be to have the recipes of the dishes printed up for us to take home.
Chanita was amazing. We loved our Thai cooking class. Our private class was held at her beautiful home. The kitchen is set up for 8 guests. We prepared 3 dishes and each was served to us at a table by her pool. The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this tour. So much fun!!!
We were a party of 5 and we enjoyed the class from start to finish. The dishes we cooked were easy to make and very quick. We also enhoyed our host she was funny and very easy to follow with her directions. Only request would be to have the recipes so we can cook them at home😜
We had a fun time Learning how to cook Authentic Thai dishes.. They were quick, Easy And delicios. We would Do this again
After we have been picked up from our hotel in time, we drove to the local market. We could choose 4 dishes from over 20 dishes. We choose Tom Kha, Beef Salad and Panang Curry and that we like to prepare the curry paste fresh from scratch. On the local market we bought our ingredients for our selected menu. The chef was so friendly and lovely. She explained all the vegetables, herbs, spices and sea food to us. It was very interesting. After the market we drove to the cooking class. There we prepared all dishes and made the fresh curry paste. After we prepared everything we cooked the dishes together and ate them. The chef gave us detailed step by step instructions for all dishes. Everything tasted so wonderful. I would strongly recommend this class!
Toller authentischer Kochkurs, mit einer flexiblen Auswahl an Gerichten und einer tollen kleinen Gruppe, gerne wieder!
Eine sehr schöne Erfahrung, kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Der Kochkurs wird von einer leidenschaftlichen thailändischen Köchin bei ihr zu Hause in einem ganz tollem Garten geführt. Jedes Gericht wird erstmal ausführlich erklärt, danach kann man das selbst mit ihrer Anweisungen kochen. Wir waren an dem Tag nur zu dritt. Ich hab Red Curry, Springs Rolls und Pad Thai gekocht - alle Gerichte sind super gelungen und haben wunderbar geschmeckt. Man bekommt von der Leiterin auch eine Einführung in die Weit thailändischen Gewürze und eine kleine Führung über den thailändischen Markt in Lamai. Ich werde den Kochkurs jederzeit gern wiederholen und mehr von dieser wunderbaren Köchin lernen. Meine Freunde freuen sich schon in Deutschland auf die authentischen thailändischen Gerichte :). Liebsten Dank, gerne wieder.
Very good and informative cooking class. After visiting the market with lots of explanations of the products and ingredients, the host Jun drove us to her private house. There were three of us and each of us was able to cook three different dishes. Everything was very well prepared and explained. The cooking was done outside under the canopy. We ate after each course. There was plenty of water. At the end we were given a short tour of Jun's garden. All in all, highly recommended! Thank you Jun!
Sehr gute Reiseleiterin, toll erklärt und sehr nett! Es war sehr lehrreich! Treffpunkt war perfekt und pünktlich!
