Absolutely loved my experience at Kata Cooking School! From the moment you walk in, Sally and Jim make you feel genuinely welcome—warm, friendly, and so generous with their knowledge. The school is immaculately clean, and the way everything is explained is clear, thoughtful, and confidence-building. The techniques are taught properly, not rushed, and you really feel supported every step of the way. What truly sets Kata apart is that you’re never treated like just another booking. You’re seen, encouraged, and valued, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable and inspiring. If you’re thinking about booking a class, take this as your sign do it. You’ll leave with new skills, new confidence, and a big smile. ⭐️🍳

Jim and Sally are great hosts. The cooking space was clean and welcoming. As first timers we learnt heaps. I have a lot more confidence now and looking forward to trying the recipes at home.

The only place to do a cooking class when you're in Phuket. Jim is amazing. He has so much energy, is funny and makes the class so interesting and interactive. He picks you up from your hotel, along with other guests who may have booked the same time slot class. You generally get to cook 4 dishes and the menu changes based on the day of the week. Certain classes start off with a market visit to choose ingredients. Jim takes great care in explaining all the different Thai ingredients and cooking methods as well as helping with substitutions if certain ingredients may not be available in your country. Once you have cooked your 4 dishes, you sit around a communal table to enjoy the feast. You leave with a recipe booklet full of tips and notes on the dishes you cooked. After class, Jim drops you back at your hotel. Can highly recommend them for a fun activity, we thoroughly enjoyed it as a family. Our hotel offered cooking classes of similar dishes but were way more expensive, charging more than what we paid to learn how to cook 4 dishes for just 1 dish.
Thank you for joining our Thai Cooking Class. We’re delighted that Jim made your experience fun and interactive, and that you enjoyed cooking. Your kind words about our service and value mean a lot. We look forward to welcoming you on another culinary adventure. Best regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
We had a wonderful time at Kata Cooking school. Jim picked us up and took us to a market to teach us about different Thai cuisine. Then we cooked! Jim was an awesome instructor. We had the very best time. The food was exceptional. I would recommend this cooking school again and again! Jim was very funny and engaging and we laughed the whole time.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time at Cooking School, and especially Jim’s fun and engaging teaching style. Your kind recommendation truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again for another cooking adventure in the future. Best regards, Tawan Oh-hoo Team
The whole day was excellent from pickup to drop off. Jim was very good at explaining all the ingredients and the techniques needed to put together the 4 dishes we made, the flavors were amazing.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the entire day, and that Jim’s guidance made your cooking experience enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another memorable culinary experience. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
Had a wonderful morning from the time Jim picked us up - he is a very friendly and knowledgeable character who can relate well to all age groups and nationalities. Jim walked us through the local markets where he purchased his fresh produce for the dishes we are cooking and shows us with detailed instructions how to cook 4 delicious local Thai dishes. Overall a great experience and a lot of fun
Thank you for sharing your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear that you had a wonderful morning and enjoyed Jim’s friendly and knowledgeable guidance. We hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure soon. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
I would highly recommend this cooking school. We made 4 dishes from scratch. It first started with a market tour and then we go into the preparation and then cooking, of course eating after that! We are foodies but have never cooked Thai food before. I would highly recommend you book in.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the full experience, from the market tour to preparing and cooking four dishes from scratch. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
