- Ruud G7 contributionsTantalizing tasty foodWe booked directly with KataThai cooking class and had a marvellous experience. Jim and Sally were very welcoming and performed an interesting show, first explaining the ingredients of the things we were going to cook and then showing how to cut, grind and mix them. After which we were led to the stoves where Jim gave a very clear explanation on how to use the wok and the pans. I will remember his hilarious exclamation of "Scoop, scoop ,scoooop scooop scoop" for the rest of my life. After preparing the dishes we were to eat them. I will never again use green or red curry paste from a jar. As the things we prepared tasted better than anything i have made before. All in all this was a coarse to be repeated as i will do next week!Visited December 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten December 27, 2022
- msnakimSingapore2,370 contributionsFun and Interactive ExperienceOur original plans were cancelled at the very last minute, and we googled to find a replacement activity. Kata Thai Cooking Class has excellent reviews on google, so we gave Jim a call. We are very grateful that he accommodated us and waited for us to arrive before starting the class. Jim is a charismatic host. He infused humour into the lessons, and taught us how to prepare the ingredients. There were different options, depending on how spicy you like your food to be. He didn't forget the kids and kept them engaged throughout. Wonderful experience. Go for it.Visited December 2022Written January 1, 2023
- Sasha SMoscow, Russia16 contributionsПотрясающее место и люди ❤️That was absolutely fantastic! Tim is soo funny and communicated, making cool jokes and making the nice atmosphere. The class was in good English. Firstly we visited a local market, tried Thai weird food 😅 and see local vegetables (so strange too). It's a big recommendation to book class with the market. Then we was cooking 6 dishes instead of 3 which it said on the webside: Red curry soup, green curry soup, Tom Yam, Tom Kha, Pad Thai and mango-sticky rice. They presented us a cooking dress! Thank you so much for everything ❤️ We loved this class so muuuuch.Visited February 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten February 20, 2023
- Zoe J2 contributionsAmazing Thai experience!!Jim was awesome!! He’s such a great chef and very knowledgeable about the Thai cuisine. He kept the class entertaining but informative. He made you feel like a great chef yourself! The booking process online was super easy and they’re so helpful! Pick up and drop off to hotel was also easy. I would 11/10 recommend this class to anyone going to Thailand!!Visited April 2023Traveled with friendsWritten April 18, 2023
- Frederick Kim1 contribution10/10 cooking experience, no regretsSally and Jim are excellent hosts. I am still learning how to cook and become better and through this experience I was able to become comfortable in cooking a cuisine I have never tried before. The teaching was clear and straight to the point. Never once did I feel rushed or stressed throughout the entire experience. My favorite part was when we went to the local market and tried all the different fruits and was given a brief tour on the vegetables that Thai food is made from. I would highly recommend other foreigners to experience a new type of fun if you like FOOD. 10/10 experience and would come again the next time I am here just to see Jim and Sally.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 26, 2023

- Pia PMaribor, Slovenia10 contributionsMost interesting cooking classI think this class transformed our perception of Phuket. It was one of the most intersting and fun activities that I did in a long time. Jim and Sally are so friendly and helpful throughout the class. Firstly you start by learning the recipe, getting to know ingredients and then do some chopping! After that it was time to cook. That was the best part of the class, the fire and passion we felt while Jim was saying “go go go mix, it will burn”.😁 The food was delicious and we made enough to eat it through the day. Jim even took us to the beach after the class because we didn’t have a ride. Definitely worth a visit!🍳🍤Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 19, 2023
- John D1 contributionThe best Thai cooking class in PhuketJim was a great teacher my partner and I had a blast and learnt so much. Jim cracked jokes and had the whole class in stitches. The recipes were simple to make and tasted amazing. It was great to meet people from other parts of the world also being a group class. We would highly recommend this cooking school and we will be back again next year. 😄Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 25, 2023

We came to Phuket under the sandbox program and were looking for a cooking class to experience how to prepare traditional Thai food. We found this on Google as being one of the few places open and we were very satisfied with the result. Jim picked us up and we immediately felt like family. The cooking was very professional and delicious. I cannot recommend them more.

Such an amazing experience!!! Jim picked us from our hotel and we had the most well organised cooking class. Jim made it look very easy, as we prepared from the scratch tom yum, green curry, pad-thai and sticky mango rice. Such delicious dishes, which we will definitely cook them back home. Highly recommended and Jim keep ….SCOOPing!!!

Went with my 19 year old daughter and we both loved it. Very enjoyable and informative afternoon and evening with Jack and Sally. Jack picked us up at the hotel, we then went on a local market tour which was very informative and filling! Got it try lots of different things at the market.
Then made two main dishes (green curry, including the curry paste and pad Thai) and spring rolls and learnt how to make sweet sticky rice and mango.
Got to have a nice meal with drinks with we cooked. Very fun, social and informative session. Can't fault it 5/5. Very effecient operation by the two of them and their helpers.
They also accommodate for dietary restrictions people might have by adjusting the receipie to suit.

Jim - one of the co owners - was really funny and engaging. We learned a lot regarding Thai food, cuisine and most common ingredients.
It was definitely one of the best experiences I had in Phuket so far and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

We have done six or seven other cooking classes on our travels in Thailand over the years, and this has to be one of our very favorite! The menu was great! Jim was fabulous at explaining all the ingredients we were going to use and entertaining as well! Being able to have our own work station each was ideal. Pick up by Sally was timely. We had a wonderful time and met some amazing people! We would totally take this class again next time we come!
