Small-group Smart Thai Cooking Class In Krabi

This was a really fun and lovely cooking class! Our teacher had great energy and knowledge of all the ingredients, the food was amazing and I left with a whole book of Thai recipes to make at home. Highly recommend for a delicious and low-key afternoon out of the sun.

Great experience with a great guide!

Great expense got to learn many dishes we were taught by Tony who was amazing

The whole experience from being picked up at our hotel to bring dropped back here, was smoothly and efficiently managed. The kitchen, although very traditional, was well squandered extremely clean which was important. Gataii, our instructor was the absolute highlight of the experience as she made it fun as well as being clear and precise with her instructions and overall eye on safety in thst environment. Very worthwhile and really enjoyable.

Great experience! I felt like I got to know the Thai culture more better if this class The pickup and drop off was well organized and timely. The cooking class was also well organized and well staffed. The recipes were all the Thai classics, and the meal was delicious. The teacher was entertaining, and he made the recipes so simple that I think I could recreate them at home. The facility had all the necessary accommodations such as drinking water and restrooms. I would 100% recommend this trip. If you were thinking about taking a cooking class in Thailand, do it. I was surprised how much value it added to my trip.

Tony was a great teacher!! Food delicious!! Also hot free cook book! Thanks Tony I’ll be making some of your dishes as soon as I am home!!

It was absolutely amazing! Great dishes, great and funny chef. We were very well taken care of! 🙂 I recommend to anyone!

Amazing experience. We got to prepare and have a 5 item thai dinner. The instructor was super friendly and patient! Would highly recommend if visiting ao nang.

Booked on pretty last minute to join the evening cooking class ! Easily arranged pick up from hotel and brought to the school , amazing class with lots of options to individually choose which differs from other classes I have been too where the group has to decide together , offer to replace for vegetarian as needed. The instructors spoke good English and explained the recipes well , very fun! Would recommend for people to come and do this !

We took part in the small group cooking class and couldn’t recommend it enough! The instructors were so helpful and thorough. The food was amazing and the class was so much fun throughout. The best cooking class in Krabi.

We had such an amazing time on the cooking class and made so many amazing dishes. Our instructor was so kind and friendly and helpful and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. One of our favourite activities in Krabi!!

An authentic and fun local experience. Highly recommended. Food was delicious, fresh ingredients and a good variety of dishes

This was by far the best cooking class I have ever taken. The chef was as entertaining as he was insightful. The food was delicious and the class was amazingly fun. We all came away feeling confident in our ability to make these dishes at home. I highly recommend! He accommodated vegetarian needs, and adjusted spice levels to suit various tastes.

I’m not a natural cook and don’t really enjoy it, but this was such an enjoyable afternoon out. A great choice of dishes to cook, everything was explained step-by-step and so tasty. My green curry I cooked was better than when I ate out!

100/10 very good and professional lighthearted very week organised and most important very tasty. Host was extremely friendly

Joined a small group yesterday to learn more about Thai cooking using fresh ingredients with our group led by a master chef. The cooking class was professionally conducted and I’m sure our group came away with a different approach to cooking Thai food at home. A great learning experience and the hosts even pick you up from your hotel.

Great experience really knowledgeable chef. Make sure you are hungry you make so much delicious food

Best experience ever with a small group of only 2. Did a course before in Chiang Mai and this one gave the same experience. Nice dishes and a lot of personal attention.

Loved the experience. Great food. Could be more hands on with food prep. I would recommend this class for others. I may come back a second time.

It was really fun and all the food came out very tasty! The guide was really nice. We prepared special dishes with amazing flavors.

You gotta do it!!! Super focused on us, the dishes are authentic and delicious. Instructor gives us full attention, Thiwe

learned how to make yummy staple thai soups and curries with a friendly instructor! got walked through step by step and how to cut certain vegetables.

Overall my husband and I had a nice experience at this cooking class but while we were there, there were two groups with two different guides and it seemed that there was a huge difference between them. Our guide was really nice and funny however wasn’t fluent enough in english and we felt that the class lacked explanations about the foods (as described in the “What to expect” section in tripadvisor). Meanwhile the other group’s guide gave them much more background and information through the class and was a lot more professional. Also it would have been nice to get some explanation about the different dishes that we chose to make from the menu. Other than that all the ingredients were fresh and the place was very clean and the dishes we cooked were very tasty.

Great fun - great cooking creating delicious food. Really enjoyable morning, all very well organised. Recipe download included.

Great experience and great instructor. No ambiance unfortunately. No view other than walls around you and the street entrance, otherwise it would have been a 5 stars rating!

We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the event. It was well organised and professional, and conducted in an enjoyable way. There were eight in the group and all had a good time. We cooked a five course meal and it was a great introduction to Thai cooking.

Such a good and fun experience the hosts really made it fun and the food we cooked was all tasty was nice to mix with the locals highly recommend.

The pickup was 25 minutes late, so by the time we arrived, the class was already in progress. We missed the introduction to the ingredients, which made it difficult to follow along. Instead of guiding us personally, the instructor asked another student to teach us what to do, which felt unprofessional. The class included a starter, soup, two main dishes, and dessert—five dishes in total. However, I don’t think we were given the option to choose between Special A and B, as mentioned in the description. We booked this experience based on its 5-star rating on Google Maps, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet our expectations. I would have preferred to pay more for a higher-quality experience.

Love it, love it, love it 😍 Christine is fantastic, it’funny, good food, easy, but still interesting - we really enjoyed it!

Excellent cooking class. Our host was funny and engaging. Great recipes, tasty food and plenty to eat and take home. Recipe ebook provided with helpful substitutes - which I’ll definitely be using when returning to the UK

Very clean, easy to understand and fun menu. Food we cooked was excellent. I have come back home and made a number of the dishes I learnt and use the cook book that was shared online. great experience to learn abt local cusine

Amazing experience, the food is excellent! Everything is clean and fresh. Chrissy was our chef and he was great and so funny, we loved him!!!! Good for Israelis as well

Amazing, I definitely recommend it 😁 Food was excellent and people very kind ! Be sure to be hungry, there is a lot to eat 😅

This class was so well run . Numerous check ins prior to the class. Pick up was on time , staff were so friendly and approachable. The class had different preferences and dietary needs but this was all factored in so the class ran smoothly. Would highly recommend.

We booked this at the very last minute as the weather was gloomy and we didn't want to waste the day mooching around in the rain. But it dint matter, as our booking was accepted and we were given a pick up time almost immediately. When we arrived at the cookery school - a few kilometres north of Ao Nang - everything was laid out and ready for the class. There were eight in our class, and we were allowed to pick a starter, main and side dish from a small selection. Poppy, our teacher was very chatty and informative, going into great detail about the various ingredients and how they're used. But he did it with humour and was good fun. once we got on with the cooking, the afternoon passed very pleasantly and we ended up eating what we had cooked. I'm not sure I'll be cooking Pad Thai when I get home (too many obscure herbs, spices and sauces), but I'll definitely try massaman curry, which was quite straightforward. Overall, an enjoyable and informative afternoon.

New was our chef, she spoke good English and had a sense of humour so created a relaxed atmosphere, we made a selection of coated to create a meal which everyone seemed to enjoy eating, pick ups from hotel was right on time and even dropped us off in a different location to help with our plans, thanks

excellent well planned easy menu to follow , pickup good, able to contact by phone , perhaps some more fans as venue very hot.

Amazing Thai Cooking Experience! Incredible experience! Friendly instructors, delicious recipes, and hands-on practice. Perfect way to learn authentic Thai cooking. Highly recommend!

Such a great experience for our trip to Krabi! Started with a pick up direct from our villa. We were the only students so we had all the attention from Chef Mew! She was sweet, kind, attentive and patiently imparted her knowledge of Thai cooking to us! She and the staff even prepared a little birthday surprise for my girlfriend and presented her with a birthday gift! Truly a memorable experience plus a digital cookbook to continue dishing out our Thai favs when we get home! Highly recommend!

This class was a phenomenal way to spend an afternoon. All of the teachers were so lovely and spoke amazing English. Many skills learned can be applied to other dishes, will be bringing what I learned back home!

Lovely small family business. Dad did the hotel pickups then taught the class. Quite of bit of the food is pre-chopped. The Tom Yum soup I made was incredible. It was all over ithin 2 hours but still made 5 dishes.

Liya was amazing - the class was just my friend and I, so we got the opportunity to get to know the instructor (Liya) and receive very personalized care. She is super sweet, a great instructor, speaks excellent English, and gives you access to an online recipe book. We got lost on the way to the class (driver’s GPS stopped working) and were walking in the Thai heat for 20 minutes. When I told Viator to alert her of the delay - she sent a car to come pick us up! We were drenched in sweat and so appreciative. The good was great and class was super fun and beginner-friendly.

We have had a memorable experience at Smart Thai Cooking. Learning about ingredients, making Curry paste from scratch and eating every bit with friends made this cooking class really special. The cooking instructor was amazingly adaptable, knowledgeable and generous as she shared her skills with us.

This experience was great! We had a group of about 12 of us and we were able to pick which meals we would make from a few options. The instructor was great, she was able to answer all our questions and give a good explanation on the different ingredients we were using in each meal. There was a little down time between making the entrees and when we prepared the next round of food which I felt could have been less time but some might have felt they needed the rest. All in all, it was a great experience!

I gave my mother this experience as a present for our holiday and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, easy to follow along and the staff were the sweetest. The atmosphere is very cozy and you feel welcome from the second you get picked up. The recipe book you revive afterwards is also easy to follow and the ingredients are listed precisely. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has some spare time in Ao Nang.

This was interesting and delicious. Come with an empty belly. Pop was very cute and informative. Thai food is delicious I learned a lot.

Had a great time learning how to cook the most delicious food we ate in Thailand!!! Customisable menu - perfect for those that like to share. New was a wonderful teacher!! If possible I'd love to get the recipes again as I didn't save the link properly (my fault).

This is one of the best things we did in Ao nang. We enjoyed the class. The teachers explained everything slowly and you could ask questions. It was an enjoyable experience

We loved this cooking class! The owner/instructor was fabulous - easy recipes, great instruction, fun and funny. The logistics were flawless - ingredients laid out, cooking supplies prepped. The pacing was perfect - not too rushed but kept moving. And the end product - the food! - was uniformly tasty. We left full and happy. Highly recommend!!!
