Best experience I had!

I had the best experience! The cooking guide is full of knowledge and shares it through the market tour, the cooking class, and the wonderful food maps she has up on the walls at her place. She also took us through a guided tour in her garden to learn about the roots and herbs we used. The best experience I had in Koh Samui!

Fantastic class.

A fantastic authentic experience. Myself and my brother-in-law took part in the cooking class - having done many cooking classes, this was by far the most authentic and best value for money. Would thoroughly recomend to anyone wanting to understand traditional Thai cooking styles and principles whilst staying in Koh Samui.

The best experience we had on Thailand

The best part of our trip to Thailand! A great authentic cooking experience, in a real chef’s house, with super-fresh and local condiments. Each one of us (parents and two teen-aged daughters) cooked three dishes from the menu, with the close guidance of Joon the amazing energetic chef. Recommended +++++
