Fantastic experience. The teacher was very knowledgeable and had great communication skills. Good descriptions of the ingredients and method. Food prepared was incredible.
Amazing experience! We were the only ones booked for our session so essentially had a private experience. The food was great, the teachers were able to explain everything very well and answer questions and the place is set in a lovely location! You end up eating everything you make so arrive hungry!
Really great experience with Chef Sun. She made it light hearted and engaging, with a good sense of humour. It was a well structured evening with a good range of dishes to choose from. Our favourite dish was the Tom Kah soup, we will definitely be making it from the cookbook provided back at home! Highly recommend this for anyone wanting a Thai cooking experience in Koh Lanta.
Sun was a wonderful, patient, and lovely instructor! We learned to make so many dishes. It was well organized and easy to follow and we got books with the recipes and pens to take notes. We really enjoyed all the explanations about the different herbs and veggies and how they are used and also a look at the garden! Food was delicious and company was lovely!
The trip started with a wonderful welcome from a very friendly team. It was all very well organised, we were asked to chose 4 dishes as a group and then started the prep. The instructions were clear accompanied by extra info on local produce and cooking techniques. We were able to cook and then eat each menu item whilst purchasing additional drinks from the bar. The course was great fun and the whole family enjoyed the experience.
Absolutely awesome. Sun is an excellent teacher, patient, funny, thorough and leads her team really beautifully. The coordination is exceptional. So much is going on around you and it is seamless. DO NOT eat before your class. There is so much food, you will need plenty of room for it. A great activity to do with kids also. We had two young boys in our class and they were included every step of the way. Everyone had a great class and a really good time - we learnt loads too.
We had a fabulous experience with Lanta Thai Cookery. Prim was super responsive via email and I spoke with her on the phone to confirm our spot for the next day. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. I went with my husband and 12-year old daughter, who cooked two of the four dishes. I highly recommend the massaman curry - we all loved it. We also loved the spring rolls, papaya salad and sweet and sour chicken. Our instructor was fanstastic. She was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and fun. Everything ran smoothly and this is a “don’t miss” if you are on Ko Lanta. Outstanding!
Four hours of fun learning to cook Thai food in a small group of 9 people. From chopping vegetables to pounding curry paste ingredients to cooking chicken and stir frying veggies, everything was hands-on. Great experience. One of the highlights of our stay in Koh Lanta.
Fantastic experience. The Instructors were fun and professional and the course was well laid out with the Group of (10) collectively selecting (4) dishes to cook. The support staff was fantastic with clearing the dirty cookware and providing the prep for each meal omce the previous meal was finished. Great location, upstairs on a covered balcony allowing for fresh air and a warm breeze. Loved it thanks to all. Lastly the cook book is fantastic.
Food was delish. The chef was nice. Explained a lot. And we got a recipe book to take home, for the dishes we didn’t get a make
The Instructor was kind and informative. She showed us, and explained to us the ingredients to what we were going to create. She then cooked up the dish we were going to make for us to try before we cooked it. I liked how we cut up/prepped all the dishes we were making all at once in seperate baskets. At times, it was challenging to hear her.
Throughly enjoyed our cooking class. Very organised, friendly staff that made it fun. We would highly recommend as the food we cooked was lovely. Meet some lovely people & shared stories.
An excellent afternoon spent in the company of Prim. A group of 8 decide which meals you want to cook from a list (total of 4) and you get to choose, chicken, prawn or vegetables. Easy to understand instructions with a hint of comedy. The food was delicious. We chose soup, chicken baskets, massaman curry and mango sticky rice. I was full afterwards!! Excellent value for money and a must do!
Very well equipped and organised cookery school. Our teacher was perfect introducing our small group to all the ingredients used and the culture of Thai cuisine. Fun, interesting and entertaining we cooked 4 dishes in total out of a selection of 10; a pad Thai, a Penang curry, a stir fry and a Thai beef salad. Chicken, shrimp and vegetable were available for all options. The fact that as a non cooker I produced a restaurant standard chicken Penang curry by the end was remarkable! Excellent experience and 10 out of 10.
I had a very good and positive experience! I always loved Thai food and as a professional cook/chef I wanted to have a deeper dive on the subject. The amazing Chef/teacher educated our group with knowledge of ingredients and methods to achieve that unique flavour and aroma of Thai cuisine. It was simple, very interesting and fun! The lesson was on a very beautifull and relaxed place. I highly recomend it!
Fabulous experience! Even my 11 year old loved it. We can’t wait to cook those recipes at home on our own
I 100% recommend this!! It was so chilled, relaxing, informative, educational and such good fun!! Do it!! It was exactly how I hoped it would be! And the food we cooked was amazing!!
We have actually done this cooking course twice now. We enjoyed the food and experience so much we wanted to do it again, so booked on when we came back to the island. Once again we had a great time and hope to cook the meals we have learnt once back home.
The most fun experience of our trip! Noi is not only an amazing chef but also missed his calling as a comedian. We absolutely enjoyed the experience and the food was delicious. It felt good to give back to the animals that were so mistreated before coming to this sanctuary. If you are considering this class, do it, you won’t regret it!
It was a great expérience to do over again ….,and a very good Chef who learned us perfectly how to prépare 4 plates between the multiple Thaï plates proposes to the participants ….kop kun kha :)
It’s was so amazing son was an amazing instructor she was so knowledgeable and fun to cook with. I made the best food on this trip here it was hands down the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. So friendly and welcolming
What a great afternoon. Sun was a brilliant teacher and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was our favourite activity on Lanta. Can't wait to try the recipes at home. Tip: Don't eat much beforehand. Thank you Sun
Simply great fun and useful. I cook a lot at home but not much Thai, which I will certainly be doing from now on! The ladies who teach are very friendly and have a great way of teaching. Highly recommended.
We had a great time here, learnt lots of new things about famous thai dishes and Sun was fantastic! & the food was amazing!
The best experience we've had in Lanta. A great warm welcome from the staff and clear explanation of the procedure. Since we were few of us (3 people), we had to experience a few dishes each. There is a little book with recipe and the teaching is very practical. Ingredient are fresh, easy to cook and you feel proud of yourself after finishing. Each dish is less than 10 min cooking, very easy to reproduce at home. We can't thank enough the chef and staff of this lovely place, and we look forward to coming back once more... And discover new recipes!
Really tasty food. Lovely people who made it look really easy. There was a cooking book at the end so we could try it at home
This was simply incredible!! Now we know the recipe to Khao Soi!! San was incredibly helpful and so hands on with her advice. We couldn’t recommend this more!!!
I have always loved Thai food. Now, thanks to Aon, I understand and appreciate its intricacies so much more! This was a very entertaining and delicious evening.
Lovely set up and Prim, the host, was professional and fun. Very imformative and a great fun way to learn a bit about Thai cuisine!
4 hour cookery course in a great setting. Loved cooking with Aon, in her kitchen, she is a fantastic teacher and funny with it. We were a group of 6 and joined with 2 other couples for the evening. It was absolutely boiling hot for the 4pm class so dress light and drink lots of water. The Ingredients are all very fresh and the smells are amazing. We cooked 4 dishes, there was too much to eat, we were all very full! We would have taken some away however we were moving islands. Good pick up and drop off facility. Would definitely recommend as an experience whilst in Koh lanta
Wonderful and professional school. Very clean. Got an education on the local ingredients and picked 4 dishes to cook. Our instructor was incredible!! We had fun, and we ate so much food!!! I feel more confident in my ability to cook Thai now.
Fabulous 4 hours spent cooking 4 different dishes. Fabulous fresh ingredients and easy to follow cooking instructions. 6 of us in our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
The cooking school was very professional and the instructor was super knowledgeable. She made the experience special and fun! The dishes came out amazing thanks to her expertise. We got to take home a cooking book as well so that dishes could be recreated at home. Overall very enjoyable experience.
The whole experience was amazing and the food was delicious I really enjoyed making and eating the Pad Thai and going to the local market to pick up some fresh vegetables.
Such a great experience. All the food we made was great and the hosts were wonderful. Would recommend for an activity to get you out of the sun for a bit. I liked that you could personalize the spice and meat to your own preference.
Amazing experience, 100% worth the money and time! Our teacher was amazing and made sure to answer all of the groups questions.
I enjoyed my time at this cooking school very much! Prim was our teacher and she spoke English very well. The ingredients were fresh and we had step by step instructions. Prim was funny and very experienced in Thai cooking. Our food turned out fantastic and I cannot recommend this enough!!!!
close your eyes and go for it wonderful experience! good advices, clean cuisine, good organisation, great moment nice Chef, you ll not regret it. 1 advice need to speak english for a better experience but that s fine
We had a great time learning to cook four beautiful Thai dishes with Sun in a small group of 10 people. The group chose the four dishes from a menu provided and then Sun and her team went through all the ingredients, methods and techniques at a pace that everyone could follow. You are provided with a recipe book to take away with you of all the dishes they offer to teach you so you come away with more than four. I would recommend turning up hungry as it’s a real feast eating all the dishes that you cook. We would definitely recommend this course, it was such a fun evening.
Very friendly women with a good sense of humour! Me and my partner had the best time learning to cook the dishes we chose, very tasty and received a little cook book to take home with us! Very fun and a must to try Highly recommend
We highly recommend Lanta Cookery School. Our teacher AON made this 4 hour cookery class to a memorable evening. A good structured program but still a lot of fun and laughter. AONs team worked hard and efficient so everything went smoothly. And not to forget that the food we made was delicious. We will cook Thai food at home tonight!
Yes indeed!!. Great experience and great food. A must in Koh Lanta. Even met The Spanish Jurgen Klopp 10/10 would definitely recommend this place
Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Very well organised, welcome drink, free coffee and water. The teacher was wonderful and the food we cooked delicious.😋
A group of 4 of us joined a Lunch class at Lanta Thai cooking school. We had a lovely day - we were greeted with a drink and a cook book which we got to take away. We chose 4 different recipes as a class to make. The cooking teacher was brilliant, shows you how to do everything and explains everything thoroughly. Great to have all of your meat / tofu pre-cut, and for each recipe to be tailored to your liking. For example, some of our group took veggies or prawns instead of meat, and one didn't use any coriander. Would thoroughly recommend, especially as it's super easy with pick up and drop off!
Such a fun day! And our Khao Soi that we made ourselves was some of the best we’ve eaten. We can as a family of five with three kids ages 9, 12, and 15. We registered the 12 and 15 as “adults” to cook 4 dishes at 1500 B and the 9 year old to cook 2 dishes as a “child” at 750B. They were really thoughtful of their pairing with other families - we saw a couples group, a family with small children on their own and we were paired with a nice family with teens too. We made khoa soi, pad thai, Panang curry, and a coconut with colorful mochi ball dessert. The cooking experience was great too. The teacher was committed to traditional thai techniques. She was so knowledgeable to answer the many questions I had. The curry pastes were done from scratch with us. The mochi balls were so fun for the kids. We each had our own wok and cutting boards. They even showed me the pandan growing in the garden and the blue pea flowers. A memorable experience! I can’t wait to try to reproduce some of this cooking at home. The pad thai I made here was 10x better than the sticky mess I used to make.
First, don't eat before you go. You eat what you make. We are stuffed with delicious made from scratch goodness! Sam, the teacher is excellent. Nice breeze for evening class. Do this one!
Great experience to learn how to cook Thai food. 4 dishes in total. Good teachers. Good value for money. Highly recommended
It was an absolute nice and tasty experience. Great teacher! We composed the menu as a group, but each prepared his/her own dish. Teacher was well-seasoned, prepared and smiley all the time. Especially the fact that she first demonstrated hers, then let us copy that way and taste her dish was smart teaching. See one, do one, …. Only remark We would make is that really everything was prepared. So not preparing food from scratch as you normally would do. But could liked as well.
Such an amazing experience. The gave us a lot of information and went through everything step by step. Would definitely recommend in you’re in Koh Lanta!
