Cooking Class in Ko Samui for Small Group

Started off a cheap day out then went down hill 3 of us were robbed by the police for smoking on the road there all just a bunch of scammers Thailand is corrupt through and through

We arrived at the market to meet Mong and was meant to also be another 5 people, they cancelled at the last minute which meant we got a personal class for 2, which we didnt mind at all. Had an interesting tour round the market with Mong telling us all about the vegetables and herbs etc, then headed back to the class. It was decided we were going going to make a curry paste in place of a dish as only 2 of us, so then made green chicken curry with the paste. Made also Tom Yum chicken soup and also chicken pad Thai. Set out all the fresh ingradients first which is normal when cooking any sort of food like this, then cooked each individual dish and enjoyed eating it. There was also a coconut tapioca pudding at the end, which was very sweet. Would we do this again? Absolutely! It was great fun and you learnt a lot, andMkng was very good at answeringg questions

Very nice and educational experience. The recipes are easy to make at home (if we find all the ingredients of course) Only downside: I'm not really a kitchen princess. Cooking class was sometimes too fast for absolute beginners.

We have just participated in a cooking class with Mong at the smiley cook at Koh Samui. Both our two teenagers and us adults loved it and we learned a lot. It was a very professional set up with a lot of information, we all really liked Mong.

Really enjoyed this cooking class

I highly recommend this for anyone travelling to Thailand who'd love to try and make some delicious Thai food when they return home. We learnt so much about Thai ingredients. We were collected at our hotel on time by our very friendly guide who's English was excellent. We got to make 4 delicious dishes in a lovely outdoor garden kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed eating everything. Thanks for an excellent day

The whole thing was super organized. We were picked up at the hotel at the beginning of Bung and then drove to a local market. The cooking class was super organized, the ingredients washed and everything was perfectly explained. The food tasted like the locals. Would we do it again:)

Fantastic family run cookery course led by Bung who is a very professional, talented chef. Loved our session from start to finish, met in our hotel and driven to the market to view the local produce and fresh fruit and vegetables. We chose to make red curry paste for red chicken curry, pad kra pao with minced beef and cashew nuts with deep fried chicken. Fantastic dishes, so tasty, probably the best Thai food we have ever tasted. Loved the small groups, makes it very manageable and personal. Would definitely recommend. Best cookery course ever.

Took this cooking class for the 3rd time. Picked up in hotel, visit to the market, then with 6 people 4 different dishes made. Good explanation...friendly teacher

Fantastic Thai cooking experience in Koh Samui! We started with a walk through the local market to pick up fresh ingredients, which was a great way to learn about Thai produce and flavours. Back in the kitchen, our small group cooked together in a relaxed and friendly setting. We made the most amazing Pad Thai, papaya salad, Thai green curry, and chilli and ginger beef – all absolutely delicious. We left with very full bellies and the recipes so we can try them again at home. Such a warm, welcoming family experience. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Koh Samui!
