Description
Learn to cook Thai like a local, so you can impress friends and family back home. A real hands on experience...you will be amazed what you can cook!!! There is no better way to learn Thai cooking once you are in Thailand and taking a thai cooking class. The cooking class at Phuket Thai Cooking by VJ has a cozy and friendly style environment. You are not only watching, but participating in the cooking of traditional Thai dishes. We teach and let you make your own Curry Paste from scratch using Motar and Pestle (No MSG and no buying ready made ones from the market) Also as a part of our cooking, we visit the local market (for classes with market tour) to learn and taste local exotic fruits and vegetables. There is always an abundance of new things to see and taste.

A Fun and Authentic Thai Cooking Experience!
We had such a wonderful time at this cooking class! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were clean and well-organized. We really enjoyed not only learning how to cook delicious Thai dishes, but also getting to experience and learn more about Thai food culture. It was such a fun and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Fabulous foodie experience
Absolutely fantastic! One of our favourite things we did in Phuket We did the market tour beforehand which was so much better than we expected. all the fruit we tried there was so fresh and delicious. When I booked in the website I thought we were cooking just one meal but turned out we cooking so much more than that! We made Tom yum soup, phaneang curry and pad Thai and also jointly made mango sticky rice and had spring rolls. All the food was amazing and learning to cook it all was even better! So much fun, we had children with us and they enjoyed how much they could get involved too. We were sent the recipes after and I still use them now! Thank you so much for a great experience

The best cookery class in Phuket!!
The best cookery class I have very been to! From the moment we were collected it was fantastic! We did the food tour, tried some fresh fruit and veg. When we arrived at the school we were provided tea and coffee. The whole service was so enjoyable and the best value for money. The ladies giving the class were so helpful and knowledgeable!! Would recommend to anyone! Must thing to do in Phuket, especially with VJ Cookery Class!!
