Best cooking class in Ao Nang
We had a super great evening. We were allowed to cook 4 different dishes and our chef was totally nice and explained everything perfectly. My friend and I are both vegetarians and that was no problem at all either. The dishes were all very delicious and we were allowed to take the leftovers home for the next day. We would definitely come back again.

Krabi Thai Cooking Class
What a fantastic experience!
The tour guides were so friendly, engaging, and patient through it all.
The food was out of this world from the first dish to the very last dessert dish. It was unbelievably delicious!
I would highly recommend this excursion if visiting Krabi Thailand

Great Cooking Class for all abilities
This experience was one of a kind, the lady’s running the class were so friendly and knowledgable. My friend is also vegetarian and they catered very well for her. We got to make 4 dishes each, and it included a free cooking book at the end for the things we had made. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Ao Nang area.

A must do - social, fun evening & good value for money
after booking, we received several WhatsApp messages to keep us informed of the upcoming event. We were picked up from our hotel very promptly. Everything was laid out ready for us upon arrival & we started once the rest of our group had arrived & introductions made (we attended the evening group - nice small group of six people with one teacher 👏🏼😊)
We were given a choice of 3 x dishes each to cook & then mango sticky rice as the desert. Our group decided to cook everything & then sit down to eat together at the end - which allowed for social interaction and sharing travel experiences.
There was plenty of food and some leftover which we were able to takeaway with us along with our recipe book!
Overall, a very enjoyable evening, good fun with a lovely bunch of travellers and a cheerful knowledgeable teacher 😁
Highly recommend this activity & we felt it was very good value for money. Allow four hours total to include pick up and drop-off time.

Very nice and authentic experience for people who like to cook and love Thai food.
We were picked up from the hotel, arrived we were a group of 8 people and another group was at the other table. Everyone cooked 3 dishes and could choose between different ones. In the end, everyone ate their own dishes, leftovers could be taken away. The food was all very delicious and authentic, at the end there was a recipe book. It was fun:)

Learn how to make a variety of dishes
This cooking school was good because there were several choices of curry, soup & salad and stir-fry, each of which participants could choose the dish they wanted to make. By making different dishes for each participant, you can see and learn how to make other dishes.
The dishes we make are quite hearty - spring rolls, curry, soups & salads, stir-fry and mango sticky rice - so we recommend that you come hungry.
I attended the afternoon class, but the evening class seemed to have a lot of participants, so if you want to be taught slowly, the afternoon class is better.
Cleaning is also thorough, hygiene is no problem at all, but since it is open air, you should bring mosquito repellent if you are concerned
I was also able to get picked up and dropped off at an additional cost outside the Ao Nang area.
