Phuket Easy Thai Cooking Class was a great experience. The team was punctual, and Chef Nana was polite, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. The food we prepared was delicious, and overall, the class offered excellent value for money.
I have a few suggestions that could make the experience even better.
Currently, the class is structured so that participants prepare and eat one dish before moving on to the next. My friends and I felt it would be more enjoyable if all the dishes were prepared first and then served together at the end as a complete meal. With the current arrangement, we were unable to fully enjoy each dish and ended up having to pack some of the food to take away.
In addition, each participant prepares quite a large portion of their dish. Including a fresh salad, such as Thai papaya salad or a raw mango salad, would help bring balance to the meal.
Overall, this is a well-organized and worthwhile cooking class that I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Phuket.

Really happy I did this Thai cooking class before my flight home. The owners were super friendly and welcoming, and the chef made everything so easy to follow and interactive.
We made these delicious dishes ourselves and everything turned out amazing! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Phuket.

This was such a great class! I loved that I could choose the dishes I wanted to cook, and that everything was already prepared. I made fried rice, chicken cashew stir fry, and satay chicken with dipping sauces. I was also lucky enough to watch some other dishes being made by the other 2 people in the class - and even got a taste. Every dish that was cooked tasted AMAZING, and was so quick and easy to make. I loved the mortar & pestle, and the basket we used during cooking, so of course had to buy my own to take home (and they were a very good price)! I’ll definitely be using them to make some more of the recipes in my recipe book that I received as part of the class. I’ve forgotten the name of the instructor (sorry 😅) but she was amazing - so lovely, talented and funny - she got us singing & dancing while making curry paste 🤣 and Pum was there too, who was also lovely and welcoming. Highly recommended experience!!

I booked beach yoga because I wanted to create a special memory of a trip to Phuket with my 9th-grade son. Mr. Deepak from Adi Yoga Center, who is from Rishikesh, India, was full of love and passion for yoga. Beach yoga. I'm leaving with such a beautiful memory. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend booking and participating in a beach yoga class!
