Terrible service from the disrespectful and untrustworthy agent who was incapable of organising anything.Richard S
Agent was not organised to pick us up from collection point, and then made us pay to get a grab to the cooking school site. Kept on telling us that they had no driver and left the cooking school people in a bad position. I’d suggest booking direct with the cooking school in future. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware that there was a dodgy dishonest agent taking money for this trip

Mar 12, 2025, 10:06:21 PM What a memorable day. Thai cooking class with Penny was great fun even non cooks could produce a fabulous meal. Learnt so much and ate so much. Certainly didn’t need anything else to eat for rest of the day. So glad we did this and would definitely recommend to anyone else thinking of doing a spot of cooking.

Aug 17, 2023, 10:34:40 AM We had a great experience! We love Thai food and wanted to learn how to make it. Penny's energetic personality made the class so much fun! Not only did we learn how to make great Thai food, we also made a wonderful friend. I definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone who wants to learn how to make the best Thai food.
Without doubt- the best!FATS_film

If you are near Krabi and looking to learn about Thai cuisine and history, to cook an amazing meal, and laugh a ton this is the place for you.
This is an incredible experience that was a highlight of our entire trip in Thailand. We were able to pick which soup, stir fry/noodle, and curry we wanted to make (everyone chooses their own, vegetarian, spice tolerance, and allergy friendly), learn about the history and ingredients, make them ourselves and enjoy a delicious meal.
Penny and the staff who run the class were fantastic and their energy and passion for what they do made it all the more enjoyable.
Bonus: it includes a transfer to your hotel and a cook book with the ingredients and recipes so you can enjoy the moment and have the information for when you make them at home.
Cannot recommend this enough!

Feb 16, 2023, 11:08:08 PM Penny is a beautiful person and a wonderful instructor. We had a great selection of dishes to choose from. She gave us a glimse of Thai culture, food and life.
It was the best experience of my trip.
What a delight! This class was outstanding! Loved cooking my own meal just the way I want it for heat! She has humor, awesome cooking knowledge on how to create each dish! And so much food to eat. Come hungry! The cookbook is a treat! Totally worth the money!
An interesting and very tasty afternoon. Definitely worth doing. The visit comes with a helpful recipe book too. Thank you!
Had such an amazing time. Great choice of foods and alternatives for everyone. Highly recommend this cooking class
A fantastic, fun experiencerowlandw701
This was a great way to spend an evening with lots of laughs with our chef, Heng, who managed to get us cooking some amazing Thai food - we really still can’t believe we made it! The experience was exactly as advertised with Heng helping us to make 10 dishes (5 each) which we then enjoyed eating (with takeaway left overs which we ate for lunch the next day!)
We also left with a cookbook each with all of the schools recipes which we shall have fun using when we get back from our holiday.
Would thoroughly recommend!
Many thanks Heng!

Feb 24, 2024, 10:48:32 PM En stor eloge till Penny som höll vår kurs! Hon var OTROLIG! Hon gav så många tips, do’s and dont’s, och med en otroligt härlig energi. HON GJORDE VÅR UPPLEVELSE, utan tvekan! Vi ville nästan inte gå därifrån när det var färdigt. Jag rekommenderar verkligen alla att gå dit. Det var så otroligt värt. Alla fina recensioner jag läste innan jag åkte dit, nu vet jag att varenda en stämmer!

Jul 14, 2019, 10:30:39 AM Teachers are kind, humorous, great, professional, all the processes are fast, although in English, but we can still learn through the body of the teacher to make local, taste intense Thai cuisine, this lesson is great! Overpush...
