Amazing Experience!

It was more than I expected!! , they offer transfer service , the farm is beautiful , you can see that there are many people behind helping with the good organization of utensils and mise en place, the inputs were of very good quality; as much as everything from the farm, I also liked that each participant has a list where you will mark the type of soup , curry, pad tai and cook the dishes of your choice , Our Instructor a Genius! Pat was very nice and friendly ! , we did this activity on June 11th 24th , in the afternoon with my partner , we were both more than satisfied with this experience, it was a more than accurate decision to do it in the first days of our trip since we learned a lot about the spiciest dishes, since in restaurants they do not explain So do not hesitate, this activity is Super Recommended !

Pick up never happened

The transfer pick up never happened. I was waiting for one hour…Luckily the cooking school ordered me a taxi and even paid for the transfer

Wonderful food and beautiful garden setting

This cooking class was excellent! The transportation was great and the setting was beautiful. Many opportunities for beautiful pictures in the garden and chicken coop! The cooking station was outside but the fans helped keep us comfortable. We cooked 3 amazing dishes and had options on what protein and type of curry we wanted. The food was all very fresh and high quality. Come hungry because the portions are big! Kiki, our instructor, spoke excellent English and was very sweet and fun. I highly recommend!

Best cooking class - learning, fun and delicious food

If we could give this activity 10 Stars we would! Everything was well organized and on time. The driver was friendly, the location was wonderful. You will learn about the ingrediendients on the farm, and taste the organic vegetables before cooking. The farm is beautiful. The best was our cooking Chef Bea (?). She is a great, lovely teacher with good humour! She made the experience very enjoyable and funny and we learned how to Cook real tradicional Thai soup, curries and sticky rice! There is a lot of organization behind the scenes and we can only thank the whole team for giving us that wonderful experience!
