Great visit to market. Food amazing
Thank you for your kind recommendation! We’re glad you enjoyed the market visit, delicious food and welcoming staff during your cooking class. Oh-Hoo
our hotel pick up was cancelled a few before the start of the activity as our hotel was too far out (not an issue for the elephant or zip lining experience). paid for a taxi to be there at 3.30pm as instructed, we then spent just under 2 hours driving around picking up other people who were even further out than we were! waste of time and bad communication from this travel agent. activity itself ok, chef was more interested in one of the ladies in the group so rest of us were ignored. we left before the dessert. it is a lot of money and you would expect better value for that amount. if you are going to do a cooking course, look for a different operstor
our pick up was cxld a few days before start of event as our hotel was outside the zone. we were told to be on site at 3.30pm so had to pay for taxi. when we arrived we had to go in a van and we drove around for more than one hour and 20 min picking other people up. complete waste of our time. safe yourself the hassle and look for a cooking class near your hotel. not worth the money
Was amazing…English explanations easy to understand and going to the market before we started to cook gave us all a solid explanation of all the ingredients. We had a fantastic time and our chef had a great sense of humour and he certainly added to the entire evening being fun and the best money spent on a really wonderful experience. Thank you we will be back!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the market tour and your chef’s sense of humor made the cooking class even more fun and memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic cooking adventure. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
The staff were amazing as is…we were taken to a market where we learnt all about the different Thai ingredients and what the uses were. The actual chef spoke good English had a fantastic sense of of humour. We cooked all our dinner then ate it …..great experience . Highly recommend it. Money well spent
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the market visit, learned about Thai ingredients, and had fun cooking your own dinner. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable culinary experience. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
A surprise-it was way better than I expected .A great experience and well hosted. The host was very generous with her time and experience
This was the highlight of my trip to Koh Samui! I could not recommend this more. From getting picked up from our accommodation and travelling to the markets. Our leader was so well informed. Answered all the questions about what is used and why. She was so knowledgeable and passionate. I could not believe that I was able to cook what I did, so so yummy and set out so well. Also being able to hear why each ingredient is used and being helped through the process. This is a must do if you are coming to Koh Samui.
It was a great experience. An interesting introduction to the secrets of Thai cuisine. Would surely book again! Pick-up service was very timely, and session started with grocery shopping at the local market.
Very good and informative cooking class. After visiting the market with lots of explanations of the products and ingredients, the host Jun drove us to her private house. There were three of us and each of us was able to cook three different dishes. Everything was very well prepared and explained. The cooking was done outside under the canopy. We ate after each course. There was plenty of water. At the end we were given a short tour of Jun's garden. All in all, highly recommended! Thank you Jun!
You wrote me a text telling me I would be picked up at my hotel. Nobody came. When I phoned you after one hour of waiting you said the class “wasn’t available”. I’m still waiting for my refund.
