A Must Do While In Koh Samui!!!
One of the best events we did in Thailand. This is a private cooking class taught at a local residence. Our instructor, Ms. Jul, was excellent. She personally picked us up at our hotel and took us to a local market. Coming from the United States, and seeing how a local outdoor market in an Asian country operates, is cultural experience in itself. We then went to her house, which got us out of the tourist area and gave us an opportunity to see how and where the local residence live. She showed us her garden, where she grows her own herbs and veggies that she sells to the local markets and uses in her classes. Her class is done at cooking stations on her outdoor deck. Ms. Jul was very informative, a great instructor, and made the class very fun. Not only did we learn how to cook certain dishes, but she educated us on the local ingredients the are used in Thai cooking. I sure hope the unique ingredients will be available at some of our Asian markets where we live in America, so we can cook these meals at home. I definitely prefer this small sized and intimate class vs the larger commercialized classes that were available.
Memorable Cooking Class in Koh Samui
We had a fantastic time. We were lucky enough to have the class to ourselves, which made it even more special. The instruction was friendly and knowledgeable, the experience was fun, and the food was delicious.

The course is delivered by...
The course is taught by an outstanding cook. We first go to the morning market of Lamai which is a real local market. Then we head to his house which is surrounded by a small garden with orchard and vegetable garden. The instructor is very attentive, didactic and professional.
Superb, highly recommended
Superb half day’s introduction to Thai approach to all things food. As a group you pre-choose 3 dishes you want to prepare and beware, whether you come in the morning or afternoon you get to eat each course as you prepare it so a busy morning munching as well as cooking, you can take your food away with you. Pleasant in-garden but under cover kitchen so great activity for those odd rainy days! The owner is a lovely local lady speaking excellent English. Tip for the wise, the majority of her bookings are for the afternoon sessions so if you want something a little quieter maybe plump for a morning session.
