Escola de Culinária Tailandesa de Lanta

We had such an excellent time, the place is lovely, the hole team was so nice, the food was delicious.

We booked the cooking class directly via WhatsApp and paid 1500 Baht (approx. 40€) per person. A price that is absolutely worth it, because you get four dishes to eat, and since that is way too much anyway, you have some left over for the evening ;) Our cooking instructor was totally open and sweet and explained everything to us patiently. Even when we opted for "European" spice levels, she was not offended. Even though that naturally tastes very boring to Thais, hehe. The only drawback was that it became really exhausting towards the end (heat, lots of standing, lots of eating, lots of concentration), so we got a bit tired and no longer had the capacity for witty questions. All in all, however, still a successful cooking class! The English was very easy to understand and the dishes were all delicious!

Fantastic experience. The teacher was very knowledgeable and had great communication skills. Good descriptions of the ingredients and method. Food prepared was incredible.

Amazing experience! We were the only ones booked for our session so essentially had a private experience. The food was great, the teachers were able to explain everything very well and answer questions and the place is set in a lovely location! You end up eating everything you make so arrive hungry!

Food very tasty, teacher is nice, idle in between, no show, sometimes boring

Really great experience with Chef Sun. She made it light hearted and engaging, with a good sense of humour. It was a well structured evening with a good range of dishes to choose from. Our favourite dish was the Tom Kah soup, we will definitely be making it from the cookbook provided back at home! Highly recommend this for anyone wanting a Thai cooking experience in Koh Lanta.

Sun was a wonderful, patient, and lovely instructor! We learned to make so many dishes. It was well organized and easy to follow and we got books with the recipes and pens to take notes. We really enjoyed all the explanations about the different herbs and veggies and how they are used and also a look at the garden! Food was delicious and company was lovely!

The trip started with a wonderful welcome from a very friendly team. It was all very well organised, we were asked to chose 4 dishes as a group and then started the prep. The instructions were clear accompanied by extra info on local produce and cooking techniques. We were able to cook and then eat each menu item whilst purchasing additional drinks from the bar. The course was great fun and the whole family enjoyed the experience.

Absolutely awesome. Sun is an excellent teacher, patient, funny, thorough and leads her team really beautifully. The coordination is exceptional. So much is going on around you and it is seamless. DO NOT eat before your class. There is so much food, you will need plenty of room for it. A great activity to do with kids also. We had two young boys in our class and they were included every step of the way. Everyone had a great class and a really good time - we learnt loads too.

Beautiful setting in nature high up. 4 dishes to cook according to the choices of the group. Fans to cool off. We're leaving with the cookbook. Very good meals.
