Overview
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 (morning sessions) to learn about local exotic fruits and vegetables. There is always an abundance of new things to see and taste.

We thoroughly enjoyed this class! First we stopped at the market where we got to learn about all the local ingredients. Then off to cooking! VJ was a great leader and all the dishes we cooked were delicious. Can't wait to try cooking these back home. As others have mentioned, come hungry! We cooked 3 dishes (tom yum soup, pad thai, and curry) plus dessert.Carl B

I completely understand why this class has such great reviews because the chef and assistants were awesome. It was cool to start off by going to the market to see some of the items that we would be using. We were also able to taste many different fruits some of which I’ve never seen before. You can also purchase items at the market. I went with the dried peppers and curry. Everything that we cooked was amazing. Just be prepared for a small workout when grinding your curry. I’m definitely in love with sticky rice now. I’ve never tried it until this event and now I may have eaten it too much. That’s definitely the first dish I have to try on my own. She also sends you recipes and will send you additional ones if you request them.Jacklyn_Joyce

Amazing market tour, knowledgeable, accommodating, and generous chef/teacher, and superbly delicious dishes — 5 out of 5 all-around. We learned so much about what herbs, spices, and ingredients go into the Thai food we love, the technique for preparing and cooking the food, and got the joy of eating all that yummy food as we cooked (make sure to come with an empty stomach!!). Thank you very much for your time and wisdom, chef VJ, I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to take your cooking classes!joels381

Two things to know before you go to class with VJ. #1 Get ready to learn how to make some amazing food! #2 Don't eat Breakfast! You are going to need lots of room in your tummy for all the delicious courses! You can tell VJ has a passion for cooking and teaching and she is very generous and patience with her deep knowledge of Thai cooking technique and ingredients. Also, the class STARTS at the local outdoor market where you get to see all of the fresh ingredients you will be cooking with! You will then go to your kitchen classroom and have a fantastic time learning, prepping and EATING everything you learned to create with VJ.
