This was a fantastic experience. A market visit followed by an evening class where we each cooked 4 dishes, chosen by us, with everything explained in detail as we went along. A group of 4, we had the class to ourselves and after the class was over we got to sit around with the families and have a drink with... More

We signed up for this cookery school further to online research and were not disappointed. we met some great people on the course and made delicious, authentic thai meals - however do not eat ANYTHING before you go, as you make at least 6 dishes and need to eat them all! you get to choose whether you make hot /...

Booked a full day to get the full experience and of course dessert. Pick-up was on-time. The market tour was informative. The cooking class with Sim was funny, educational and Sim was very patient with everyone. What takes their service over the top is when I found out that I forgot my camera lens cap at the cooking school, I... More

Booked in for the half day, morning cooking class, which was more than enough for my wife and I as we got to cook everything that we wanted to. We really enjoyed the market tour; learning about the ingredients and getting to know everyone in the class with us. Loved the dedication and wittiness of the Owner/ Host. She was... More

My family groaned a bit before this excursion - they ended up loving it. Nancy was very patient with us as we waffled between the all day and 1/2 day... she kindly accommodated us! I was glad that we narrowed it to 5 dishes - IT IS A LOT OF FOOD :)!!! My kids' (12,10, 8) palates are expanding but... More

3 of my girlfriends and I recently travelled to Thailand and visited Chiang Mai. We wanted to do a cooking class and debated the various classes offered at the hotels. I'm SO glad we didn't do that. Pot and his wife own the school and they are both really nice! They pick you up at your hotel and bring you... More

I really just expected to be taught how to make a couple of dishes and then leave. No way! Nancy made this one of the best experiences of our trip to Thailand. She was so funny and engaging and taught us so much. Going to the market and then making all the dishes with fresh ingredients made us have a... More

Owner and instructor Pot is excellent. He has a great sense of humor and excellent cooking skills. DO NOT EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE YOU GO! you cook and eat so many delicious foods I could not even eat dinner that night. It was great to go to the market first and the cookbook at the end of the day is a... More
