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!

We had a great time at the morning half-day class! Our instructor Tik was fun and informative. We really enjoyed learning about and working with ingredients that were new and different to us. We also liked that the class was very hands on and engaging. Finally, starting the morning at the food market was a great bonus Transport was also super convenient because the class provides pick up and drop off at your hotel. Overall we’d highly recommend this experience!

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 🙂

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.

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!

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

An excellent way to spend a morning or afternoon in phuket We were picked up from our hotel lobby on time in the morning and dropped of at the market in Rawai where we met our guide Karn. She walked us through the ingredients she was buying and gave us a chance to smell and taste the different varieties before getting what we needed for thai green curry, tom yum kung, pad thai and mango sticky rice. We then drove to her kitchen 10 minutes away and she instructed us on how to cut and prep each dishes ingredients, before showing us the cooking method by making her own and watching us copy after. Over all it was a fun and intersting morning and Karn was very informative, friendly and platient with a novice cook. Will recommend to friends and others looking for a way to spend a morning or afternoon.

I had an excellent time at Half Day Phuket Thai Cooking. From the time Karn picked me up and for the rest of the morning she was committed to providing a great experience. We went to local markets for ingredients and then to her house to cook. She was great at explaining everything giving us individual attention. Karn explained everything well and I felt that this was an authentic experience.

Karn picked us up on time at the hotel and we did a local market tour to pick up ingredients near her home, of which part of it is dedicated to her cooking school. Great hospitality by Karn as we started off with tea and she proceeded to show us how to prepare the ingredients and then we moved on to cooking. Because there were only two of us, we were able to select our own menu, which was fabulous. Karn's two helpers were also very nice, even though they didn't speak much English but nothing some body gestures can't solve. Karn also took time to talk about how the ingredients were used in Thai cooking. We made a papaya salad, penang curry, pad thai and mango rice. Transfer between the school and hotel was included from Phuket Town. Highly recommended.

Such a fantastic and well organised class hosted by the wonderful Karn. Our group of 7 was picked up from our hotel the morning of the class and driven to a market to select the groceries for our lesson. Karn took us through all the different ingredients and introduced us to different types of vegetables allowing us to smell and taste (some) along the way. From here we were escorted to the kitchen where we learnt how to cook a variety of different Thai dishes. Karn was patient and very informative. She made jokes with the class and created a

Amazing chef, full of knowledge, and a great way to spend an afternoon. Had a wonderful afternoon cooking with Karn. Going to the market to pick out the ingredients for the dishes was a great experience. Cooked three wonderful dishes, including possibly the best green curry I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

The class was great, starting with a visit to the local market to buy groceries and picking herbs from their home garden. The host explained everything in detail and gave tips to apply when I try to replicate the dish back home. It was a lovely half a day and i highly recommend the activity

The class was very well structured and detailed explanations were given, The hostess is super friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share every cooking trick she has. Loved the food we made and plan to cook it at home as the receipts are for dishes that are not difficult to cook when you know details needed to succeed. Would absolutely recommend this class!

A really fun afternoon learning Thai cooking and lots of tips for making the perfect spring rolls and curry pastes. Karn is lovely and very knowledgeable about the flavours and techniques. The kitchen set up is good. I went on my own but had great fun with the three other people who were also booked on the class and Karn made everyone feel welcome and at ease. Got to taste our own cooking then take away what was left (as so much!). I'm very much looking forward to trying out the recipes again at home!

Unbeknownst to us, Karn picked us up at our hotel! Not knowing she was our cooking instructor, until she started asking us questions! She took us to the local market to pick out our cooking ingredients. Karn is very good at explaining all the different fruits and vegetables, and had us try different items in the market. Really fun! Then she walked us through each of our items we were going to cook with, explaining as we went how to cut/dice them correctly for each dish. We got all our dishes ready to cook, and then step by step she guided us through putting them all together. Her recipes are available on her website, and are truly easy to prepare. Karn is very friendly, accommodating, and has a bit of a sense of humor. I overcooked one dish a little too much, and I apologized to her. “Don’t apologize. You eat what you cook!” Highly recommend you do the morning class so you can experience buying your ingredients at the local market.

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.
