- Sakari T1 contributionNice and useful, fun activity!Well organized, fun event! And a lot of information about thai ingredients. Well presented with a good measure of humor. I Took away a great deal of knowledge and experience of thai cooking.Visited January 2024Traveled soloWritten January 24, 2024
- Marta PSzczecin, Poland16 contributionsA fantastic experience , highly recommandedWe come from Poland and four of us run restaurants so we really wanted to get professional knowledge about Thai Cousine. We got it !!!!!! We could choose the meals we wanted to prepare. The chef Jim is an absolutely awesome and funny guy. He provided easy to follow instruction on identification and preparation of traditional Thai food and spices. The kitchen itself is clean and nicely equipped. The resulting dishes were excellent and plentiful. Come hungry. And the most important - Sally, a wonderful, fragile Thai lady who took care of us. She accompanied us all the time, making our time to be amazing. She is also a professional photographer. Both of them Sally and Jim speak English fluently.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 28, 2024

- BookphilicScientistGermany52 contributionsEntertaining and insightful eveningVery entertaining and insightful cooking class. Our class included a quick market tour where Jim showed us different vegetables, seafood and specialties. In addition to the selected menu for our class, we also got to try different fruits - thanks for showing us how to peel mangosteen! We then got to make green and red curry paste from scratch and continued the preparation and cooking of three different main dishes and mango sticky rice for dessert. Jim and Sally remembered everyone’s names and made the evening a very delightful and fun experience. I had taken another cooking class in Chang Mai before but Jim’s personality made this one are more casual and funny experience. I highly recommend this class! Free transfer was also a plus.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 3, 2024
- Paul T2 contributionsThai Cooking School - great timeWe did the Thai Cooking School Class with Jim & Sally in March 2024. What a great time we had. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to a local market. Jim is a very friendly & likeable bloke with great knowledge & passion for what he was talking about. Sally told me they love there work meeting happy people on holidays everyday. The cooking was easy to follow & just a very enjoyable experience. We laughed, we felt at ease, we were encouraged, we had a great time. We highly recommend Jim & Sally and the Thai Cooking School.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 13, 2024
- KhabrewSki E15 contributionsThis class is the Bomb Dot Com!!This was the best cooking class my children and I have gone too. The class accepts all ages which makes it a beautiful experience when traveling with your little ones. My children are 7 and 9 and they had a blast. The instructors are so nice and down to earth. My daughter continues to talk about how nice Sally is and we took this class a month ago. They said the next time we go to Phuket they want to go back to Sally's class. To be truthful I wouldn't mind taking the class again. It was a really cool experience and if you and your children like to cook it will be the perfect class for the family. We give it 6 thumbs up👍🏿😍☺️😋Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 8, 2024
- Amanda BGoulburn, Australia24 contributionsBest thai cooking classWhile on holiday we attended this cooking school keen to experience authentic Thai cooking. Sally and Jim provided us with first hand knowledge and history behind Thai cooking and recipes. The food we cooked was absolutely delicious with recipes to take home. Even long after we left Sally and Jim quite happy to answer any questions I have about any recipe. This is an absolute must to put on your holiday itinerary. 👌👌Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten July 11, 2024

The visit to the local market was an excellent introduction to the well thought out, well organised cooking class with Jim and Sally and their team. Delivered professionally but with a lot of humour, the class rolled out like the preparation of a big family dinner. It showcased a wide variety of spices and recipes but was pitched successfully at the different palates and ages of our group. Jim and Sally were so generous and amicable in sharing with us their extensive knowledge of Thai food and cooking made even more interesting with a string of personal anecdotes. For anyone truly interested in experiencing an authentic part of Thai culture through its cuisine, we highly recommend Kata Thai Cooking by Sally.

Sally 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.

We 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!

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!!!

Everything about this cooking class was excellent. It could not be improved on both Jim and Sally were the most hospitable hosts. Everybody enjoyed the day so much the food was incredible. The instructions were simplified. The atmosphere was wonderful due to Jim, being so outgoing and giving everybody was so impressed we could not have asked for more, by the way, Sally’s husband is better looking than Tom Cruise. Thank you for a wonderful day.

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.

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.
