Authentic Thai Cooking Class & Local Market Experience

This class was a very fun way to learn to cook classic Thai dishes. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would take this class again :)

Fantastic enjoyable morning learning to cook 3 dishes with the delightful Wooddy. He explained what and why certain ingredients were used and his team of helpers were so friendly. The food was excellent the best that we have had in Thailand and we made it ourselves. Do not eat before you go there is so much food. A fun activity would highly recommend

The class was well organized and the helpers were wonderful. The food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend the experience!

Brilliant experience, Woody is so friendly and is obviously passionate in what he does, a fun and interesting afternoon, worth every penny!

Wow we got really lucky in that we were the only people on the PM class! Woody was really attentive and we loved it all. His garden is fab and the other ladies helping in the kitchen were great. Can highly recommend

Highly recommend this cooking class with Wooddy! Not only did wooddy and the team go out of their way to give us a fantastic experience, it was also the tastiest meal we have had in Phuket. We were able to request dishes and could tailor them to each member of our group (spice levels, meat/vegetarian), everything was well explained, we received all the recipes, got to try local fruits, he took us to a local market and explained all the different foods, and showed us around his own garden showing how everything grows. And at the end as he was driving us back made a quick stop to help us purchase a specific fruit we were after personally at a local market. Thank you Wooddy!

This was very fun! The food was delicious and vegeterian friendly. Meat was all optional. The staff were kind

This is authentic at its best! The market was amazing to see and Wooddys garden was impressive. My partner and I are both great cooks but we learned some really good tips that we will take home and apply. Wooddy was communicative and educational and had a great sense of humour. The food we cooked was delicious. Had a really fun day! I would highly recommend

This class with Woody was absolutely brilliant. We first went to the market to pick up the fresh ingredients, Woody told us about all the different foods. Then a short trip to his home where there was a very clean organised set up for the class to take place. He explained how to prepare all the veg , herbs and supplied chicken and prawns. We chose our dishes Tom yum goon, tom kha gai, panang curry , pad Thai , pad see ew were our choices. They were outstanding. He sent us all the recipes, linked us into his You Tube Chanel. After eating the wonderful simple quick food. He took us back to our hotel. If you love cooking and are in Phuket then get booked in!

Really fun casual experience. Wooddy’s great; enthusiastic and fun. Loved seeing how all the ingredients come together, and the meal-the best I’ve had so far! I enjoy cooking but have virtually no skills, doesn’t matter. Great excursion!

My sister and I absolutely loved this experience. The Wooddy Kitchen is a great place to learn about Thai food and the food we had was absolutely wonderful (some of the best we’d tasted in Thailand). What was also a big plus was they were able to cater to my dietary requirements (I’m vegan). I wouldn’t hesitate to have another cookery class with Wooddy! It was one of our favourite excursions whilst travelling.

Learnt new skills in the class and it is a very unfortunate experience, highly recommended to people we want to check out local life here

Fantastic morning with Woody and helpers. Very informative and great English. Clean and top class food. Thoroughly recommend. Value for money.

This was a wonderful experience with Chef Wooddy. It was well organised and a lot of fun to do with friends or family. Chef Wooddy was very knowledgeable and also very entertaining. He caters for everyone and was able to change the cooking option for one participant at the last minute due to a food intolerance. Everybody prepares and cooks their own dishes before sitting down together to eat them. The 4 dishes we cooked were delicious. I’d highly recommend this half day cooking course.

It’s was funny and very interesting to know the different spices that you add to the Thai dishes. All the staff are very kind and professional

This class was excellent. After being picked up from my hotel we were met at the market by Wooddy to buy our fresh ingredients. On to the kitchen and an informative garden tour. The kitchen was clean, the ingredients fresh and the menu/food was sensational. Wooddy was a very clear and funny instructor. Highly recommend.

Wooddy is the best!! He is so welcoming and generous. The class is amazing and you will be proud of yourself when you taste your own cooked meals! I absolutely recommend!

Amazing morning. Picked up from our hotel and visited a local market where we learnt about the local food. Relaxed atmosphere during the cooking, with the most amazing smells and tastes. Thank you Woody and team.

We had a great experience at Wooddy Kitchen (Phuket Cooking Course) 😋. We picked-up and learnt about the ingredients we needed for the course at a local market and then cooked up three dishes at Wooddy's lovely outdoor garden kitchen. Wooddy was such a fun and eccentric character and he gave great direction to those who havent prepared thai dishes before.

The cooking class was lots of fun and a highlight of our trip. Woody firstly takes you to the market and you buy some of the ingredients for the day. You then go to his cooking workshop at his house and learn/cook 4 dishes. All the food tasted amazing, just like at the restaurant. It was a really cool experience seeing how to make these dishes from scratch (rather than from a packet). You then get to eat all the food at the end! I’m very glad we went with this class as it was authentic food and a nice small group. Woody is so friendly and makes sure you have lots of fun. You also get sent the recipes after which makes it possible to recreate once home again!

Time flew as we shopped and crafted some amazing meals. Simple instructions led to flavour packed meals, lots of laughter and a memorable experience!

We had a great afternoon learning how to cook a Panang curry, Pad Thai, spring rolls and fried banana with Woody. He was a bit of an entertainer! Thanks for having us!

Great day! We made 3 delicious dishes and leant a lot about Thai food, cuisine and culture. Wooddy is a very insightful and fun host, I would highly recommend. Thank you Wooddy!

We had a great time doing this fun cooking class and market tour. Woody was a very good host who spent a lot of time with us to ensure we had the best experience. He speaks very good English and explained and demonstrated the cooking process well so we were able to produce the most amazing Thai food. We made 3 courses which was plenty for us and we had a lovely feast to end the day.

Wooddy was amazing! For anyone who likes to cook, eat, or learn more about the culture this is a DO NOT MISS opportunity. Woodsy was funny, informative and accommodating for all of our preferences. He took us start to finish through four different Thai dishes. We started off at the market where Wooddy explained some of the local ingredients. We chopped, stir fried, mixed, ATE. His location is perfect with air conditioning and helpful pleasant staff., This was the highlight of our Thai visit.

We had a wonderful time. The food was beautiful, the tropical food gardens amazing. They catered for my daughter who is coeliac. I even got to take my leftovers home. We got an apron.

Fantastic class. Wooddy is so lovely and very informative he even looked after me by changing a recipe to be gluten free. Highly recommended. Also air conditioned.

This is the best cooking course. Lots of fun with delicious courses. Do not eat breakfast before you go. 100 % recommend thus course

Wooddy is very friendly and knowledgeable about authentic Thai cooking. You cook a 4 course meal that you enjoy at the end. Highly recommend!

A fantastic afternoon with Woody exploring the local market then coming back to cook delicious Thai food. We were able to customise and request menu items to create our favourite Thai dishes

Wooddys cooking experience was amazing. My wife and I had such a good time learning about cooking traditional Thai food and using Thai ingredients. Wooddy is warm and welcoming and has a great sense of humour. Portions are also really well sized so you will not go hungry. Can't recommend this any more to anyone. If you're looking for something to do and like Thai food you won't be disappointed.

A wrap-around foodie experience! Wooddy is an informative, energetic host and cooking teacher. Best thing I did in Phuket, food is amazing with a real sense of achievement at session’s end. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home!

The best experience - Woody is an amazing teacher and a great guide. He took the time to walk us through the unique fruits, vegetables and spices that Thailand has to offer. This is a must complete course for any tourist!

My husband and I participated in this cooking class with Wooddy and we had a fantastic time. It was informative, interesting and so much fun! The food we cooked was absolutely amazing and we were given all of the recipes as well as other recipes we didn’t cook. Wooddy, his wife and helpers were great hosts and we would recommend this activity to all visitors to Phuket. You won’t regret it! Thanks Wooddy!!

We were picked up from our hotel by Wooddy, taken to a local market to purchase fresh food. Wooddy explained what everything was and is super friendly and nice, plus his English is great. We then did a tour of his garden where he has fresh herbs, vegetables and even flowers to add to the ingredients for the days cooking. We made 4 dishes, all of which were utterly delicious! We were so full, they packed up what we couldn’t eat so we could take it home for later. I highly recommend Wooddys cooking course!

We went to Woody’s cooking class as a family ( two adults, 2 children). Woody and his cooking colleagues were lovely and welcoming. The kids were included in the activities and had great fun assisting and tasting ingredients. We cooked four delicious meals and learnt about the ingredients that went into each. We very much enjoyed the garden tour and visit to the markets to collect ingredients. Woody also collected us from the hotel and we enjoyed our chats. I would highly recommend Woody’s cooking classes to families as well as couples or groups. Thanks Woody and team 😊

Great experience Thai cooking. Qoddy so friendly for families and kids . Would recommend to anyone with our with kids. We came in the morning went to the market and did a garden tour then cooked. So much food . Yum

Awesome afternoon with Woody and his team learning how to cook delicious Thai meals! Thanks for the great afternoon Woody!

Fabulous cooking class. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to cook Thai food. Great clean setting and cool. Beautiful kitchen garden.

Best tour we've ever done! Wooddy and his Team were amazing from Transport arrangement to eating our own cooked lunch it was so much fun. The market and the fruit, herbs and vegetable garden were an added treat and we learnt all about our ingredients. Thank you Wooddy, fantastic half day....

An excellent opportunity to prepare, cook and eat your own food under the expert guidance of Chef Wooddy. Starting with a local fresh food market tour and also seeing many of the ingredients growing outside the cooking school itself, brought the whole experience to life. Wooddy and his family do much of the hard work preparing some of the ingredients, and Wooddy delivers the course with humour and skill. A really interesting and enjoyable experience.

We were collected from our hotel on time by Wooddy. After collecting the remainder of people for this experience, we were taken to a local fresh food market to explore all the produce available in the region and pick up a few items needed for the cooking class. Wooddy was very good at explains what all the produce was and in what type of Thai dishes it would be used in. Once we arrived at Wooddy Kitchen, we were taken on a tour of the garden that grows many of the produce used in the cooking classes. We then prepared all the ingredients for 4 dishes followed by carefully instructed guidance from Wooddy and his team. We then sat down to enjoy our creations. I have to admit that they were the best tasting Thai food I have ever had. After lunch we were rolled out of the class and back into the van and returned to our hotel, where I dropped into a food coma for 3 hours 🤣. Wooddy speakers excellent English (much better than my Thai) and made the entire experience one to remember. Oh, I should also mention that the dishes that you cook, as well as several others, are sent to you to try at home.

What a day from pick up to drop off. Very informative. Visit to markets first to get fresh ingredients. The overall experience was great. And the choice of dishes we cooked was amazing

Did this course with my girlfriend. The cooking class was very good and the food was delicious, I am very happy with it. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Thank you for the experience!

We had a fabulous time with Wooddy. He was an excellent instructor - the class was informative & above all delicious. All 4 dishes we made were top notch & will be easy to replicate at home. So pleased we participated in this very well run, friendly & enjoyable activity. Highly recommend to all. Thank you to Wooddy & his lovely team!

My partner and I learnt a lot and had loads of fun. Such a wonderful hands on experience and delicious very filling dinner to end the day. Thanks so much to Woody and his beautiful helpers. Would recommend this course to anyone.

Woody was an excellent Thai cooking instructor. He’s energetic, fun, & overall a great person. He knows what he’s doing, makes it fun & has a wonderful family. Everything was spot on and sanitary. The food we made was delicious. I definitely recommend.

Fantastic cooking class. Woody and his family were incredibly welcoming and the food was incredible. The market tour was a highlight as we got to see our coconut milk made fresh and we learned how to select the best fruit! Must do if you are in Kata.

This was great experience with Wooddy, I highly recommend anyone to do this, and such great fun and food. We got to meet his family and get to understand some of the history of the area.
