Aula de Culinária Tailandesa Blue Elephant (Phuket)

Upon arrival, I was served a Welcome Drink (Bael Fruit Tea, dried as shown in the 1st picture). I was lucky to be the only participant, so it felt like a private cooking class. We took a short walk to the Wet Market, which was an eye-opening and informative experience. When we returned, I cooked 4 dishes with the guidance of Chef Molly, whose humor and positive vibes made the session super fun! I learned a lot about Thai cooking! The food was kept warm and served in the restaurant, and the service was superb. I plan to go back again for an afternoon session to learn other dishes, plus dessert. Highly recommended!

💯First-time experience! [Blue Elephant Restaurant Thai Cooking Class] Today, no one else had booked, so it was just us and the chef for a 1-on-2 class! 😍 First, the chef will take you to a local traditional market to sample Thai snacks, purchase fresh ingredients, and introduce local sauces. Next is nearly four hours of learning. The instructor explained everything very thoroughly, and thanks to the help of the assistant, we completed our lunch smoothly and quickly! Each person makes 4 dishes, and after the class, you'll move to their restaurant to eat. After the class, you can also take home their apron, certificate, and two packs of Blue Elephant cooking kits. We think this class is incredibly worthwhile! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket who has the time to participate! We recommend our instructor, Paul, who is fun and young (though you might not be able to request him). #michelinrestaurant #blueelephantphuket #cookingclass #wonderfulexperience

Chef Niki gave us an unbelievable experience. My husband and myself were the only people in class so it was like a private master class. The location is superb, it looks like royalty. All staff members treated us kindly and with respect. I will recommend any one to go there. We loved it!

Thai Cooking Adventure at Blue Elephant Phuket🇹🇭👩‍🍳✨ Had an amazing time at this class — good to see it on the Michelin Guide 2025! 🌟 The kitchen studio was spotless, well-equipped, and perfect for a hands-on experience. Chef Nickky was fantastic — passionate, clear, and made it so easy to grasp the fundamentals of Thai cuisine. 🙌 We cooked up a delicious 4-course lunch: 🥭 Mango Salad 🦆 Duck Red Curry with Lychees 🌶️ Spicy Beef Herb Soup 🐓 Stir-Fry Basil Chicken Fun, flavorful, and absolutely memorable! Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Phuket and looking for an immersive culinary experience. 🍴

Lucky me, I was the only student in this class, so I had a one-on-one session with Teacher Molly. She meticulously explained the preparation and ingredients for each dish, leaving me wanting more. For the first time, I made my own non-spicy Thai dishes. Next time, if I have the chance, I'll try different recipes.

The instructor was excellent at teaching the foundations of Thai cooking and explaining the aromas and flavours for each ingredient and how it adds to the dish. All the dishes we were taught were delicious and tasted like what we were ordering around Thailand. We had a feast at the end where we ate what we just cooked was a great way to end on a high note. Definitely would recommend this cooking experience!

Instructors Paul and Pat were very professional, and the entire process was very enjoyable. After the class, you can taste your own creations. I will definitely recommend it to friends.

The instructor was very friendly. In the morning, they first took us to the market to buy ingredients, then guided us to complete 4 dishes together. Finally, we received a certificate, a souvenir cloth bag, and an ingredient pack. Very nice.

This is a great experience. The cooking instruction and demonstration are first class. The cooking stations are well laid out, and there was good supervision to ensure a successful cook. The restaurant area where we eat our own creations is lovely, and somewhere we’d happily return for a meal. Definitely recommend.

It was a great experience. I had a lot of fun and I got to know the special Thai ingredients. My teacher Pat was very helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed the course, and the food was delicious 😋 Thank you.
