    This was one of the best experiences that I have had in Thailand! I love the spirit of the chef and her beautiful family! We made some delicious food and laughed the whole time. She picked us up that morning, then we went to the local market and picked up our fresh ingredients. We then headed to the main kitchen where she had a garden in front of her house where we pick fresh ingredients once all of the prep was done we proceeded to cook. The food was so delicious and she was so informative I will definitely book her every time I visit Phuket!!!!! 🙏🏽🤗💪🏾🇹🇭

    Awesome Food and Awesome Time!
    Jonathan_B, Apr 2024
    An awesome time! Tik is so wonderful and funny....and an incredible chef! The recipes are a great touch.
    Lovely, private, patient and exactly what you are expecting: get to know how to cook delicious thai food!
    Adrian_F, Apr 2024
    It was very easy to book and we were writing in WhatsApp the day before about all the details. We came to the cooking place by ourselves (even if pick up was included) we could find it very easily. Lucky us another group cancelled their booking so it was a very private lesson just us two and Tik. First we want together to the market to get to know all the ingredients as well as how to make the right choices about freshness etc. After that we started to prepare everything discussed about the details, as well as about private things which it made very familiar (lovely). The meals were delicious and we hope to cook it at home as good as it was here with the recipe we get. Thanks to Tik and her helping hands - highly recommended!
    Tik was a fantastic...
    Aishlinn_C, Mar 2024
    Tik was a fantastic teacher ! The trip starts with a visit to the market for fresh ingredients. The experience is a must do in Thailand to see and taste first hand the incredible food. Will defo be back next time I'm in Phuket
    Great food & instructor but be warned very primitive set up
    Julie_H, Feb 2024
    Food & instructor great & we were easily able to prep, follow & cook 3 basic authentic Thai dishes! Delicious prawn soup, tasty Green chicken curry, Chicken Pad Thai noodles🙌Sticky rice & mango dessert demonstration was done for us as time was getting away! (allow at least an extra 60-90 mins)😊Clean but very primitive kitchen set up which really is cooking in a ‘hot tin shed’ with attached air conditioned dining, prep room. Pick up & drop off was great👍 Prior food shopping at local produce market was good & informative. Instructor speaks good English & has a great sense of humour 🙂If you want an upmarket experience, this is not for you. Best you do a class at your resort or hotel😉I enjoyed meeting other travellers & cooking with my friend. No aprons supplied though we didn’t seem to need them. Take away containers supplied & staff assistance during & at end of lesson was very helpful also👍Thank you ladies for your kind assistance 🙂
    Delicious food!

    A fantastic experience! Karn was an excellent teacher and made sure we had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious and it was wonderful to visit the market and learn about the ingredients.
    Great
    lorraine_c, Nov 2023
    Overall a great experience. The food was great! The market trip was fascinating. Teacher was interesting and knowledgeable. A couple minor things. 1. The demonstration room was very cold. 2. There were no aprons. We were working with turmeric and other things that could stain our clothes. 3. Timing was a bit off. Lots of time talking about the spices for the spice mix so we ran out of time and had to take our dessert home. I liked that she gave us the recipes beforehand do we could make notes as we went along. I’ll be making these at home!
    Simple and easy recipes loaded with flavor
    Ivy_C, Nov 2023
    Great experience and very simple recipes/ingredients. Got to go to the local market to shop for our ingredients too. Highly recommend
    Good Fun Beginners Cookery Class
    Steven_C, Oct 2023
    This was a great fun activity to try if you're in Phuket and have half a day to spare. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to meet Karn the cookery teacher. We were a small class of 5 which was great. We started off in the market where she introduced us to the different fresh produce we'd be using before she bought it then we headed to the kitchens to start our cookery class. It was all done with great humour and joking but the cooking and the way the dishes turned out was excellent, definitely aimed at novices like me but even serious cooks will enjoy. Would definitely recommend
    Best Thai cooking class
    Dawn_B, May 2023
    Our teacher was wonderful.She was fun, funny and had great recipes.I cannot wait to make these at home.I highly recommend this class!
    Fantastic cooking school
    Stacey_G, Oct 2022
    Way back in 2019, we had done the dinner menu with Kaan. We wanted to return and opted for the Friday lunch menu this time. From shopping at the market, so browsing through Kahn’s home herb garden, this is a must do if you are interested in learning about Thai cuisine. It’s the little tricks that make the flavour and Kaan is an expert at passing on that knowledge. Can’t wait to come back and try a Tuesday menu.
    Great experience!
    Benjamin_R, Oct 2022
    We were picked up from our resort and taken to a vibrant market and taught about the common ingredients in Thai cooking. Then we went to a small shop where they explained the purpose of each ingredient. After prepping all the food we went to the kitchen to cook 3 traditional Thai dishes. The food was delicious
    Best homemade Thai food
    May_T, Aug 2021
    My husband and I absolutely love it! I think we have cooked the best Thai food! The place was clean the food was fresh and we were taught professionally.

    Mary_S, Nov 2019
    My boyfriend and I booked the afternoon class and had the most amazing time! The visit to the market, the small intimate group size, the hands on demonstration and delicious food we cooked/enjoyed was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend booking this class!
