Half Day Thai Cooking Class In Ao Nang, Krabi

It was just my family of four (two kids aged 5 and 10) in the session so it was nice to feel like we had a private lesson however it felt slightly rushed and would have been nicer if there was more explanation around the ingredients and maybe the cultural context of the dishes. This may just be a limitation caused by the language barrier. Other than that the place was clean and the staff were pleasant and the food was great!

Wonderful journey into authentic Thai cooking .Timely pickup and nice ride to their home. English was good. Lots of options for dishes.

A good cooking class. Pros: - Good food with a variety of dishes to choose from. Everything we cooked was tasty. - Friendly and relaxed staff. - You chop, you fry, you eat. You fry more, you eat. - Booklet with recipes and note space. - Nice cooking space. - Three classes each day. We recommend the noon or evening class. There's so much food you'll be stuffed. And you eat as the class goes along. We would have preferred this as a late lunch or dinner. - Hotel transfers to/from were great to have. Cons: - Don't deviate from the recipe! I like meat cooked so that it is tender. I wanted to add my chicken in late to the recipe, and the cook (politely) insisted I not. Good to know: - This is a "minimalist" cooking class. I've taken over 20 different Thai cooking classes (all targeting tourists). Some classes have you do everything, from grinding things with a mortar and pestle to make curry pastes, to steaming your own sticky rice. Others do a lot of the prep and more nuanced cooking for you. You do some chopping and stir frying. This is the latter type of class. (In my view, great for a relaxing food event.) In summary: Take a later class and enjoy the food and view. Easy cooking.

We had the morning session and had a great time. The class is very well organised and all the family could participate. The food was delicious and we have cooked it back at home. We left with lots of delicious leftovers. Our tip. Skip breakfast if you do the AM class. Thanks

With our first visit to Thailand we were eager to learn more about Thai food and cooking. We were lucky to go on a day where we were on our own. We were able to choose 3 courses to cook. We chose to make papaya salad, massaman curry and mango sticky rice. We really enjoyed the cooking, learning the ingredients and techniques and of course eating the food we had prepared. The school is equipped for big groups and a lot of food prep is done for you and that makes sense, but as there were only two of us, we felt we could have been more involved with that. Of course that also meant our session was shorter than the four hours Its a lovely little school and authentic, the ladies were all friendly and welcoming.

The venue is very spacious Even though it is a very hot day. Still feel comfortable to cook at this place Food and choice of menu is great Everything was delicious, easy to make The dishes I choose is very common Thai food. But the instructors’ recipe makes a regular dish taste better than usual

The cooking class was close to where we were staying (not far from Ao Nang Beach) and a lot of fun. We really enjoyed it.

Very nice staff, great experience

Great experience! The place is a bit secluded in the city, transport comes to your hotel. The people are nice and welcoming, it’s a pleasure to learn and you eat what you cook ! So be ready (you can take away if it’s too much). Highly recommend !!

Expertly run.. prompt pick up.. great choice of things to cook.. excellent ingredients and guidance.. lovely hosts, and great fun!

We were looking for something that different from the standard sightseeing tour. This was fun, active, and immersive. It provided a glimpse of local culture through food, and we left with new skills and a satisfied belly.

Pretty good, the ladies were very nice and helpful. Did 2 hour class, picked us up and dropped us back

If you’re looking for a cooking class this is the one! A sister run business with a great open air atmosphere! Made 5 delicious dishes with good portion size. Even had enough left to feed myself and my husband for dinner. Prompt pick up,fresh ingredients, bottled water and sister’s were super nice ladies. Don’t hesitate!

Had a really enjoyable afternoon learning to cook 5 dishes. As we finished each dish we were able to eat it. Really delicious dishes and so easy to do! I took some back to my hotel with me as a lot of food !

Fantastic Thai cooking experience! The most tastiest food and very friendly and experienced staff. This cooking class is a must for anyone visiting Krabi. We had the most amazing morning. Arrive with a empty stomach, as the food is too good not to eat!

Avoid.! Booked this. Received confirming with a pick up time of between 12 and 12:30. Waited for over an hour. We eventually got the hotel to contact them. One person said they had a problem with the booking and another said they had a problem with the water. They wasted our day. Very disappointing and unprofessional. Now we are having difficulty getting our money back. FYI our booking reference was GYGX7NR3HH8Z just in case they respond to say they had no booking

Had a great time. The food was amazing. The teachers were kind and helpful. The taxi man was prompt.

We chose this cooking class based on great reviews, especially those highlighting a 4h experience and a good English speaking teacher. While the setup was clean and the class itself was pleasant, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The class lasted only about 2h, not the 4h advertised. While it wasn’t difficult to follow the instructions, the teacher spoke only very basic English, which limited any deeper explanation or engagement with the cooking process or Thai culture. For almost $200 for 2 adults and 2 kids, we were hoping for something more interactive and in depth. It felt a bit rushed and didn't offer the immersive experience we expected. With so many amazing experiences to choose from in Krabi, this one unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype for us

This was a really fun experience. The instructors were friendly and fun. We loved the ability to customize our menu and learn how to make our favorite Thai dishes. The recipe book is a nice way to take the knowledge home. The one thing I would improve is that there is a little too much prep done by the tour operator. When I'm cooking, I want to get the feel for everything that needs to be done. Don't premeasure and mix ingredients, let us work through it as part of the course. But that's minor, we had a great time

This is an excellent class. I would definitely recommend. Beautiful viee and right next to a huge buddy. The instructors were great and very nice.

This cooking experience was excellent. The booking process right through to the cooking course was easy. The cooking school team were fabulous and entertaining and was really engaging.

I went to the class by myself. I stayed in Railay so need to go to Ao Nam Mao pier by long boat. The instructor picked me up at the pier. The classroom is big and well ventilated by natural wind. No AC. All ingredients are prepared. I just need to chop them to smaller pieces. Seasoning are also prepared. The instructor showed me how to stir the pad Thai noodles. Overall is good. One person portion is quite small. But five dishes are a lot. I packed three dishes. Taste good.

Best experience l, I vegan and they showed me how to change every meal in to vegan. And it was so delicious 🤤

Booked the morning cooking session my mistake was having breakfast beforehand! Picked up at our hotel and driven to the lovely cooking school on the outskirts of Ao Nang next to an impressive Wat. We got to pick 5 dishes to make and were given clear instructions on how to prepare the ingredients and cook the dish. The staff are very friendly and it was a relaxing and productive morning. You get to eat what you make so make sure you've not eaten for a while beforehand. I definitely feel more comfortable making proper Thai food now. Thanks to everyone at the school.

This class was delicious, wholesome, and wonderful! We learned to cook 5 different dishes from several different chefs, who were patient, friendly, and funny. The meals were tasty and we received many great tips. The view is also beautiful! We were between several different cooking classes and are so glad we picked this one.

Brilliant! 5 dishes to prepare, cook and eat. You choose which ones. Good instructions and a recipe book to take home - remember to write down the instructions. Well worth the money. A great way to spend 3-4 hours.

Exceptional experience! Thank you so much for a fantastic few hours learning how to make (and eating) 5 dishes of your choice from the options available. Definitely arrive hungry (we came home with 1 dish each as we would've popped!) The chef is so lovely and speaks great English. She can adapt the recipes to vegetarian, vegan and gluten free! We are both vegetarian and the food was UNREAL. You get a cute recipe book to come home with. The kitchen is based on a partially open terrace overlooking the mountains. There is space for around 15 guests but we were the only people booked onto our slot. So peaceful and generally a fab way to escape the hustle and bustle for a few hours. Spotlessly clean. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Amazing experience! A must do when you’re in Krabi. You get to choose 5 dishes to make. Our instructor was great, her family was there to help assist us all and they were all very kind and happy to help. Met some great people from around the world and walked away with fantastic memories and our own cook book full of recipes.

the cooking class was enjoyable , but the pacing felt rushed and didn’t allow for a relaxed learning experience. Thanku

Awesome experience! Lovely hosts who spoke great English! Was amazing to learn how to cook all your Thai favourites for back home. We got to choose what we made from a selection of options and got to then eat all of them so come with an empty stomach!! Would recommend for couples, individuals or families!

The best thing we did in Thailand! The women running the cooking school are so friendly and knowledgeable, they made the afternoon such fun. It was a brilliant way to spend NYE. We made delicious food, lots of leftovers which tasted great the next day. We have already made one of the recipes since coming home and can't wait to make more. My 13 year old really enjoyed it, family friendly activity for all.

This was one of the best things we did in Krabi, such a fabulous experience. The lady running the school and her colleagues were so kind and attentive and good fun!! The dishes we cooked were delicious and we came home with the recipes and can't wait to make them again! A brilliant venue with such a great view. Endless bottled water. A really great way to spend an afternoon would highly recommend! We had enough food left over for dinner the next day

We went as a group of 4, we were picked and dropped off at our hotel. Food was awesome and fresh, left full, full! Great experience! Would definitely recommend anyone to do while visiting Krabi!

My teacher was friendly and explained everything well. She spoke good English and was obviously experienced. The workshop is clean and we’ll set up.

We had a lovely time cooking and learning about Thai food. The food was delicious and it was fun learning new recipes. The space is super interesting and open with a beautiful view.

Had a great experience here! Brought my mom and grandma here with me and because it was only us, it was practically a private class. The ladies were very helpful and very nice. We learnt 5 dishes and got to take what we couldn’t finish eating back as well. 10/10 would recommend for any beginners to join this class!

Overall great experience! We got to cook 5 delicuous dishes. Would have been 5/5 if the course was a bit more in depth, like spending more time on each dish and how/why it's done the way it's done. The view was really nice and the place was clean!

From pick up to drop off this was an excellent experience. Don't eat before you go because there are so many dishes that you cook then eat you'll be stuffed full. A reallyinformative cooking class in a great setting. Thank you to the staff.

Only 4 people, so personal tuition. Very friendly staff . Lovely to taste the food you prepare. Have been before and as good as ever

This class made me wonder why I had never taken a cooking class before. Great instructors, big selection of dishes to choose from, nice clean kitchen, food turned out great and was so fun and easy to prepare. I was by myself and really enjoyed interacting with the other people that were taking the class.

Excellent experience. Dishes were absolutely delicious. We couldn’t eat it all but they packed it all for us and we had it later on in our hotel and it was so good! We will definitely remake those dishes at home. Thank you!

This cooking class was excellent! I am fully confident that I can return home and recreate 5 healthy, tasty Thai dishes for my family and friends!

Highly recommend this Thai cooking school for a half day cooking experience. It’s well organised and you choose 5 dishes you would like to learn to cook. Basic prep is done for you - so it’s not overwhelming & difficult. Open area with individual stoves and woks. It’s a lovely setup and the cooking instructors were so friendly and helpful. Most importantly the food we cooked was absolutely amazing. you eat it once you cook it. We couldn’t eat all 5 course while we were there (we did try) so bought some meals back to our resort for dinner and they were delicious. Can’t wait to cook at home now we have the recipes and technique!

Really great experience. Not only did we learn a lot, it opened up new dishes for us that we hadn’t tried before, and vastly improved our comfort level with Thai food. Thank you so much!

We cooked really tasty dishes! With the help of our teacher it was really easy to understand. I would rebook just to cook remaining dishes!

This was so worth the money! I recommend doing the afternoon course and skipping breakfast as you get to eat all the yummy food you make. I went alone to this and made Panang curry, spring rolls, pad Thai, coconut soup and banana fritters. So yummy and so fun

Incredible experience! She was extremely professional and friendly. We are vegetarian, and she curated a menu that was suitable for us!

Chef was very helpful! Learned so much and the food was delicious. The look out was incredible from the kitchen as well. A bonus! They picked me up from my hotel and were really great.

This was an absolutely delightful class with amazing views to boot. It is right next to a cool temple. You get to make such delicious food and learn techniques to insure your dishes are perfection! Was the mango sticky rice I have had and even better I made it :-)
