Just got back from my 3 hour 'little shoes' cooking class with an amazing teacher called Nam. I rarely write reviews but this experience was so delicious, personable, fun and numerous that I jumped straight online. I love Thai but nothing beats being able to eat my own cooking in a great Thai restaurant with new friends. The instruction was... More

Much of the entertainment in Patong Beach and nearby area is cheesy stuff like go-go dancing girls, jet boat rides, and animal shows. (Why not a wax museum?) But Pum's school is both fun and authentic. You really come out knowing how to cook some Thai food that is delicious and healthy. The teachers speak English very well and keep... More

We did a 3hr class on a Sunday afternoon 4-7pm and we were lucky enough to be the only ones in the lesson. Nam was wonderful and very funny and explained everything really well. Food was delicious and we took away two cook books. I would like to have spent more time cooking more dishes but as it was 3... More

After hearing the laughter etc from the class we just had to experience it for ourselvers. My husband and I, plus two really nice girls... More

Thank you very much for the cooking school. My wife has always been a good cook, but she always struggled with Thai food. Now she is really good at it. This was some of the best money I ever spent. More

A great lesson in Thai herbs and cooking Thai food using combination of the herbs and sauces. The cooking was very easy and the dishes will be easy to replicate at home. There were five of us attended the lesson so there was the chance to see about 13 dishes cooked and have a taste of them all. The class... More

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Pum and her team in Patong. We cooked with another couple from Australia. Our instructor Mai was wonderful, we all sung danced laughed, and after ate wonderful fresh Thai food. We spent some time on Phi Phi and caught up with Mai there, and had more great times. On our last... More

The publicity said we would learn to cook our food. That's about it! We were six and had to wait in line to actually cook our food, and if we werenot fast enough the teacher took our place. You use the restaurent equipement plus to other fire gas things that are stuffed in a corner and access is hard. The... More
