Traveler reviews
Lots of Good Food
Our instructor who we referred to as “New” was Exceptional!!! Her presence, attitude and instructions very clearly depicted her desire to be there, teach, learn about her students and help them thoroughly enjoy their vacation. We started our day at the market where New discussed the base ingredients of our dishes. Then she spent a few minutes gathering some things needed while we were given some free time to explore the local market and atmosphere. Then we headed off to the school which was very close. The pace of instruction was easy going and very informative. New let you do as much or as little as you wanted and was always close by to monitor your progress on give assistance. We prepared an enormous amount of food which we sat down and ate at the school and took back to the hotel what we could not finish. Quite honestly what we took back to the hotel was more than enough for dinner as well. This class headed by New (the reason my daughter and I enjoyed it so much) is a very good value, especially with all the food you end up with, saving you the dining out cost for that day and participating in its creation. And to top it off, New sends you the recipe so you can try to replicate what you made when you get back home. Please note that the length of the class is just perfect too as an activity, while leaving you with enough time to do other things for the day. Thanks again New !!!
Cooking Thai food was easier than I thought
Shopping at the local market first made the class feel much more authentic. The instructor explained everything clearly, and I was surprised that I could recreate every dish myself. A really enjoyable afternoon.
A must do
Chef was attentive and shared great details about eat dish. Was not rushed. Even packed up leftovers to go.
