I booked this for some of my family and friends so were a group of 7. They had the most amazing time. Everything was very well organised when they arrived, plenty of space to work. The pick up and drop off went smoothly even though our villa was in an awkward area. They ate quite a lot during the session and also brought a lot home for the rest of us to try. They came back with a booklet with all recipes in and have used them to cook since we have returned to the UK. A brilliant experience, thank you. My husband and daughters had a fabulous time.

Had a great morning cooking some delicious Thai dishes with our chef Nom who was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyable and cannot wait to try some of these dishes when we get back home.
Great experience and a Lovely chef/hostess and a small group of keen pupils. I’d recommend skipping breakfast and lunch as there’s lots of lovely food to cook and sample. Fabulous way to spend an afternoon learning to cook some classic Thai dishes- highly recommend.
Highly enjoyable half day spent cooking 5 different Thai dishes & learning about the ingredients. The food was delicious & best of all you get to eat it & get a file to keep with the recipes in it. There were 8 of us & we found it very interesting, In spite of this, at over £60 a person it is overpriced. Another gripe was we got an email 2 days before, confirming the booking, then received another just 3 hours later stating our booking would have to be rescheduled (we booked it 2 months ago!) due to over subscription and offering us 2 alternative dates & times. Fortunately, we were able to make one of these dates so didn’t have to cancel. We asked when we emailed, what had happened & weren’t given a response. So thankful we didn’t miss out!
Awesome class, well organised and great English too. Plenty of dishes to choose from to make and eat. Would recommend for anyone interested in learning to cook Thai food
A brilliant experience with a wonderful instructor. The selection of meals to choose from was excellent. The recipie book that we used, we got to keep so that we could make the meals at home
Loved the cooking lesson only 6 in group so easy to move around. Great fresh ingredients and our teacher was lovely . Repeated a lot of steps . Great cook book to take home with the recipes we cooked and other dishes in book we can cook at home .
Pickup was timely. Cooking school was a breezy open air kitchen with ocean views. All ingredients were fresh with lots of hands on experience to prep ingredients , cook dishes and taste final product. Owner/ chef ( apologies as I do not recall her name) was patient , knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. A take home recipe book was included . It outlines dishes prepared in class along with many others on the morning/afternoon menus. Highly recommend this experience.
This cooking class was absolutely fabulous!!! The owner and cook, Om, is a fantastic teacher. She was shy about her English, but she speaks English so well!!! Her home-made cookbook is great. We loved everything about it. You MUST take this cooking class. A truly fabulous experience in a lovely location. Right near the water. Thank you Om. We had a truly beautiful experience with you 🙏♥️🥰
The Lamai Cooking class was amazing and the meals that we made were so fresh and tasty! Our wonderful Host was very clear and spoke excellent English. The location was also fabulous with fresh sea air and views of the Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks. Cannot recommend this family owned business any higher.
So thankful for the amazing experience with Oom! My fiancee and I went for my birthday and we had the best time. We loved Oom’s expert advice, recommendations of how to recreate the meals at home and very high level of organization from picking us up from our resort to recommending the perfect way to cut everything. Thank you so much for making our holiday memorable xx
A fabulous 4 hours. The tutor was absolutely excellent. She picked up and dropped me off to and from my hotel. She explained exactly what we would be doing. We chose a menu between us. The instructions were explicit, interesting explanation of foodstuffs, how to prepare and cook. We produced 5 delicious courses. The view was amazing, everything spotless. I will definitely be trying her recipes when I get home using the excellent recipe book that we were given.
I‘ve booked this class for myself. At time of booking there where 2 slots available in morning and afternoon. I‘ve booked for the morning and got a confirmation through TripAdvisor and as well the Tour Operator. S couple of hours later I received another message that the class is already fully booked both times that day. An alternative has been offered a few days later which was already after our departure. The cost have been refunded, however a disappointing experience.
The teacher/owner was very gracious. The class was overcrowded. Class size was supposed to be six, but there were 13 "students" including three young children. Food was just so-so, with simple "flat" flavors and not nearly as good as another cooking class we took in Chiang Mai the week before. There was only one mortal and pestle for the entire class to share, the printed recipes were incomplete and had to be modified during class, and the teacher ended up doing about half of the cooking while we watched and ate. Two of the couples brought their young children that were very distracting and "stole the show" many times. It was not the experience we were hoping for.
Had a great time, great view, great food. Um is a very friendly person and is very good at what she does. I was so full after tasting all the beautiful food that Um taught me to make.
Lovely activity, host was lovely and cooking was made simple. Highly recommend Great views Right by the grandfather and grandmother rock
The location is fantastic , an open air kitchen with sea views. The chef is brilliant her English is excellent. The class was informative and fun and the food we made was delicious. I was picked up from my hotel promptly. The afternoon was a joy. With the added bonus of a cookbook to keep. 🤩
My sister and I booked this cooking class and were glad we did. We were picked up and taken to the open air kitchen by Um who was our instructor for the afternoon. It was a small group of 6. We started by choosing the menu from a list. We chose spring rolls, pad Thai, a soup, a curry and lastly a dessert. Um patiently demonstrated the preparation of the vegetables and meat ( chicken/prawns) then we took over. We all cooked our food then sat together to eat our delicious offerings. Everyone had a really enjoyable afternoon. Tip: don’t have lunch before the afternoon class as you’re eating all the time,
Our family of four, (12&14 year old children) truly enjoyed the experience. The lady who gave the class was very informative and the location was beautiful. We merged with another family of four and as a group we chose five dishes to cook. There are choices between fish, chicken spicy, none spicy etc. You then break off into pairs to chop and cook your meals. Returning to the dining table to eat as a large group. The ingredients are explained and fresh, some are even grown within the garden. The experience was both educational and fun! The food was amazing, what better way to start your day than with a five course Thai cuisine. We recommend to lots of people in our hotel and boasted about our experience with friends back in the UK. Taste buds and bellys were 100% satisfied.
I had an absolute fanstastic cooking experience with chef Um, a couple from Austria and a couple with their teenage daughter from Germany. The view over the sea is stunning and the kitchen has everything it needs. We started out agreeing on which 5 course meal we would prepare and ended up with spring rolls, panang curry, Tom Kha Gai, Fried Chicken with cashew and pumpkin in coconut milk. The meal was prepared in three teams of two, and it was thoroughly explained with enough time for Um to knowingly answer questions and helping at the gas stoves. It was arranged in a way so the entire team actually shared the prepared courses as a meal in 3 heats in stead of just tasting our own food. Um is quite good at English and knows about which groceries and other goods are available in Europe - that expands the benefits from the class. I am not a trained chef but a committed foodie (facebook - @madnørden) and I cannot recommend this class enough - I take home a lot of new knowledge and step-by-ste recipes to use in my future cooking.
This class was excellent!!!! The instructor gave us so many options for what to cook, included a cookbook, and was easy to understand. Her food is exceptional and my daughter and I loved this experience! Highly recommend! 10 stars out of 10!
A fantastic afternoon cooking class in Lamai. We prepared spring rolls, pad Thai, green chicken curry and Tom yum goong soup and banana in coconut milk for desert. We got transfer to and from our hotel by the lovely owner of the business who was very funny and spoke great English. All dietary needs and preferences were catered for and class sizes are kept relatively small so it’s a personal experience. The food was all delicious and we got a recipe book to take home with us, covering the dishes we cooked and many more Thai classics to try in the future. A perfect and relaxed day trip learning some new skills overlooking the sea and grandmother grandfather rocks. I would highly recommend to all cooking enthusiasts and novices alike.
All in all hot hot food tasty Thai at its best/ quickly clear Do not eat breakfast if you go in the morning. Golden tip
Great cooking class with sea view. Very nice hostess who picked us up from the hotel. The recipe book for home is of course great!
It was a very nice and well explained cooking class, we cooked 5 dishes, they were all very delicious and with super fresh ingredients. Definitely recommended!
