Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak

Great class. Apple is the sweetest instructor, very knowledgeable and fun to be around. The food we cooked was delicious 😋 Highly recommend 👌

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time at Riverside Thai Cooking Class with Apple, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded our already-high expectations. The adventure started by Apple picking us up at our hotel and driving to the local market, where Apple walked us through the stalls to buy ingredients for the dishes we selected to cook. But she didn't just grab items and go — she went above and beyond, taking the time to show us different ingredients up close, letting us smell them, explaining their Thai names, and even telling us which ones we could find back home so we could recreate the dishes later. That market tour alone was worth the visit. From there, Apple brought us to her home, where she showed us the fresh herbs and ingredients growing right in her own garden. Her outdoor kitchen is absolutely stunning — set in a gorgeous location that made the whole experience feel special. It's the kind of setting you couldn't design any better. Apple has a gift for teaching. She made every step of the lesson fun, engaging, and easy to follow, no matter your skill level. Her passion for Thai cooking is contagious, and you can tell she genuinely loves sharing it with others. And the best part? We got to sit down and eat everything we made — and it was delicious. There's something so satisfying about enjoying a meal you've prepared yourself, especially when it tastes that good. If you're in Khao Lak, do yourself a favor and book this class. Apple's warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail make Riverside Thai Cooking Class a highlight you won't forget. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

I cannot speak highly enough of this cooking experience which started with a very educational and engaging market tour with Apple learning about the vast Thai produce. I attended several cooking classes in Khao Lak and what I loved most about Riverside was the opportunity to observe the cooking techniques and to eat the dishes of all seven students. Everyone selected a dish and we all engaged in observing (sometimes assisting) the prep/cooking process. After all the dishes were done, we ate family style tasting all the different dishes. This increased the VALUE of the class significantly, as in most classes, you only taste 1-2 dishes. Riverside ensures your dish has enough quantity for all of the class to taste. Also unique and WONDERFUL was that everyone made 2 spring rolls (savory + banana/dark chocolate) which was fun and, again, added more value to the class. The class was highly organized and efficient in addition to being educational and wonderfully delicious. The cooking and eating space was spacious and comfortable.

It was a great experience and it was really fun cooking and getting the ingredients.

Briliant day. Would definitely recomend and do agoin.
