A rewarding experience!!

Really nice experience that can be recommended! Personally, I cooked myself while my partner was taking care of the baby. The beginning was a bit chaos when two groups start at the same time, confusion with seating and very loud volume when two leaders try to speak to each group at the same time. The experience started with us going to the local market (which is only offered on Thursdays if I understood correctly) The market was an experience that provided great knowledge of the ingredients used in Thai cuisine. Our group decided to cook tom yam, pad thai, paenang and dessert on sticky rice flour. The cooking was fun and gave a lot of inspiration to cook more Asian. Very knowledgeable chefs who led the whole activity. At the time of booking, it says maximum 10-12 people. In our case we were 13-14 people + accompanying two adults who took care of two small children. Highly recommended despite a bit of chaos at times.

A great experience in Koh Lanta (Lanta Thai Cookery School)

Organised by our hotel we were picked up and taken to the cooking school. We had a welcome drink and then we got stuck into it!. We picked 4 dishes for our group which i thought was good as otherwise it would have been way too much food and complicated! Our instructor was very clear and i liked the way she spoke to us about how to vary the dishes if we wanted. We were given a cook book with a pen to take notes. All the ingredients were there at our fingertips and she showed us how to cook it, then we had a go! No washing up and everything was taken away like clockwork. We only had 5 in the group but i thought how lovely this setting was - all outside, and surrounded by greenery. A great experience for my niece and my brother. Thanks!

Very bad communication,...

Very bad communication, booked a cooking class with them and cancelled a few hours before the class was supposed to start, as they were fully booked. If they were fully booked they should have messaged me after I booked the class not a few hours before the class starts. Would not recommend booking with them.
