マーケットツアーでカオラックのリバーサイドタイ料理教室

We had a great course with Apple. Above all, the visit to the local market was very impressive and educational. Apple is a great powerhouse of a woman. You feel like you are in a small jungle. Apple showed us how simple and quick Asian dishes are to cook. Looking forward to cooking it ourselves

Hello, We met Apple on August 5, 2026, for a cooking class that was out of time and outside our usual routine. Apple has this ability to make you feel like you are part of her family. It started with a trip to the market to acquire the necessary products for our lunch meals. The market, in itself, is worth the trip, and Apple makes you smell all the herbs and spices, shows you which fish to buy, and how to choose it. Yes! For us, it was the fish that we chose. Next, head to Apple's kitchen, which you are going to discover. Already the setting in the jungle is incredible, and for the rest, you have to go there. No hesitation, none at all. Go there with your eyes wide open and enjoy. Apple is an angel who knows how to cook. Muriel and Pierre

We had a great time cooking with Apple, it was good to be able to choose what we wanted to cook, and we all loved our meals. Apple is a wonderful Chef and is very patient, very well organised and has a great kitchen, specially designed by her for her classes. Apple picked us up from our hotel and we spent time at her local market, where she brought some the ingredients, it was also cool to see some Apples on sale from our own country! Would highly recommend this cooking class, lots of fun and a great taste of Thailand.

Great class. Apple is the sweetest instructor, very knowledgeable and fun to be around. The food we cooked was delicious 😋 Highly recommend 👌

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time at Riverside Thai Cooking Class with Apple, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded our already-high expectations. The adventure started by Apple picking us up at our hotel and driving to the local market, where Apple walked us through the stalls to buy ingredients for the dishes we selected to cook. But she didn't just grab items and go — she went above and beyond, taking the time to show us different ingredients up close, letting us smell them, explaining their Thai names, and even telling us which ones we could find back home so we could recreate the dishes later. That market tour alone was worth the visit. From there, Apple brought us to her home, where she showed us the fresh herbs and ingredients growing right in her own garden. Her outdoor kitchen is absolutely stunning — set in a gorgeous location that made the whole experience feel special. It's the kind of setting you couldn't design any better. Apple has a gift for teaching. She made every step of the lesson fun, engaging, and easy to follow, no matter your skill level. Her passion for Thai cooking is contagious, and you can tell she genuinely loves sharing it with others. And the best part? We got to sit down and eat everything we made — and it was delicious. There's something so satisfying about enjoying a meal you've prepared yourself, especially when it tastes that good. If you're in Khao Lak, do yourself a favor and book this class. Apple's warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail make Riverside Thai Cooking Class a highlight you won't forget. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

I cannot speak highly enough of this cooking experience which started with a very educational and engaging market tour with Apple learning about the vast Thai produce. I attended several cooking classes in Khao Lak and what I loved most about Riverside was the opportunity to observe the cooking techniques and to eat the dishes of all seven students. Everyone selected a dish and we all engaged in observing (sometimes assisting) the prep/cooking process. After all the dishes were done, we ate family style tasting all the different dishes. This increased the VALUE of the class significantly, as in most classes, you only taste 1-2 dishes. Riverside ensures your dish has enough quantity for all of the class to taste. Also unique and WONDERFUL was that everyone made 2 spring rolls (savory + banana/dark chocolate) which was fun and, again, added more value to the class. The class was highly organized and efficient in addition to being educational and wonderfully delicious. The cooking and eating space was spacious and comfortable.

It was a great experience and it was really fun cooking and getting the ingredients.

Briliant day. Would definitely recomend and do agoin.

We had the most incredible time doing the cookery course and market tour with Apple. It all began with a very engaging and friendly booking process over WhatsApp with Apple herself. We chose the dishes that we each wanted to cook in advance, this was great, because we all got to try each others dishes too. Apple picked us up from our hotel and took us straight to the market in her very cool and comfortable mpv. The market was great fun- a feast for the senses…a chance to buy a few foodie things to take home too. We then went to Apple’s house, where she has made a beautiful cookery school, clean, organised and well cooled with lots of fans. Apple explained each dish brilliantly and we all got busy making and sharing our cookery experience. As gluten free, we didn’t miss out at all and Apple went to a lot of trouble to cater for all of the dietary requirements- she was really fabulous and reassuring about this. We then all got to eat our dishes together, it was a FEAST) we loved everything that we tried and were so well looked after by Apple and her lovely two helpers. Honestly the best activity and we would go again and again - if it was slightly closer for us! Thank you Apple…we loved our day and are so impressed with the fabulous cookery school that you have created.

5 stars for this wonderful cooking experience with Apple and her polite and helpful team. We cooked 8 dishes from a long list of selections. Fresh ingredients and big servings of delicious food. The best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. I thoroughly recommend this experience. Well done Apple and team.
