- Fiona S25 contributionsThai cooking so much funWe enjoyed the market visit and cooking class so much. We had been to Thailand for many times but still haven’t tried some of the fruit yet. We can try something new this time! Thank you GiGi’s arrangement of promoting the fruit! Vj ‘s class was easy to follow step and step. We could learn, cook and taste the dishes made by ourselves. No failure and the taste was so yum! We will definitely share this experience to our friends when they come to Phuket! Thank you Vj and the team!Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 September 2023

- stephen H2 contributionsThai cooking mad fun easy and yummyTaken 16 October 2023 Phuket Thai Cooking Class by VJ Collected from hotel, transfer direct to small clean market location. Immediately into tasting of local fruits before a market tour where the host detail how the by their produce each day and what to look for when selecting items. Following this there was time to purchase items for personal use. Back in the van on to the cooking class located in airconditioned comfort and western toilets located on site. Four courses were cooked with the theme. 1. Sit down to prepare and be advise on ingredients 2. Move to own person cook station and be talked through the cooking process real time. 3. Return to table to enjoy the fruits of your labour with water and or soft drinks. This process was on repeat for the first three courses: 1 Tom Yum Soup 2. Pad Thai with chicken or prawns - your choice 3. Curry, red or green, chicken or prawns As we stepped through that process, we periodically moved to preparing and cooking desert. Sticky mango rice. The flow of the day was relaxed and enjoyable. Takes about 3-4 hours but goes so fast. Serving sizes are more than enough, I was unable to eat it all and I am a big fella. Made the prep and cooking process so easy. I was certainly happy with the flavours of the dishes I cooked, and it showed me just how quick and easy Thai cooking is. On completion you make a request via whatsapp and you are then provided with all 1. ingredient lists 2 Step by step how to for each recipe 3. Pictures of all the sauces for reference to buy when home. 4. Intro pack 5. Additional recipes not cooked on the day. Staff were very friendly, funny, engaging, patient and helpful. Is it worth it 10/10 Yes. Would I go again with a different menu 10/10 Yes. Would I recommend to friends and family 10/10 Yes.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 19 October 2023
- storm wMarcoola, Australia2 contributionsGreat experience, must do!I rate this 5 star ⭐️. It was such a good cooking class. Vj was very professional and experienced chief . She gave us a lot of tips and recipes to take home to make . We went to a local market before the class to pick out food to cook and then had the class and made 4 courses. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend. I have a sensitive stomach and have to be careful what I eat, and everything we cooked and ate was fresh and I did not have any problems. Highly recommend, a must do if you travel to ThailandVisited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 October 2023
