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.

Great Thai cooking experience we enjoyed along with friends & family!

We’re coming from India. We had a very nice experience, we had assistance & the order of event was organised. They were sweet & helped us make yummy Thai food. Would surely recommend to all :)

Most authentic meal I had on the entire trip.

I went to Thailand with a group of women on an empowerment retreat, and this cooking class ended up being a highlight of the trip. It was a perfectly chill activity for a monsoon-storm day. I'd expected something more like a show — sit back and watch — but it turned out to be wonderfully hands-on. We prepped everything ourselves, then cooked our own meal in their well-equipped kitchen in just minutes. Our teacher spoke excellent English, and her assistants made it easy to follow along without any mistakes. What I loved most was learning how Thai curries are actually made from scratch. Honestly, this was the best and most authentic meal we had on the entire trip.

Great Experience for cooking and learning how to cook! I forgot my shoes at the entrance, and they were kind enough to allow us to pull over and wait for them to be delivered!! Exceptional customer service!!!
