- Penny36 contributionsEnjoyable class with delicious food made.A delightful low key experience. Yayya is a good teacher. I was able to learn to prepare food myself. I pounded the paste for curry and learned about things I could buy or substitute. I sas the only one there and I thought it might be dull. But it worked really well as I could take my tome to prepare things. I am coeliac and Yayya made sure the sauces were gluten free. She sent her offsider out to the market especially to get the necessary safe for me sauces. She also arranged for chicken in place of sea food. Cooking was done outside on the porch. That was a pleasant change from cooking in an indoor kitchen. Class ran smoothly. .Visited November 2023Traveled soloWritten November 21, 2023
- Rita DEdmonton, Canada36 contributionsAmazing class, a must do in Hua Hin!Chef Yaa is an excellent teacher. She is talented but also friendly and has a truly humble and caring spirit about her. We thoroughly enjoyed our full day class here. With Chef Yaa's careful and clear instructions we made 24 scrumptious dishes in 1 day. We were a group of 3 and each made 8 different dishes. The food was delicious and I'm so pleased to have had to the experience and to also have the recipes to make at home. We'd give her more than 5 stars if we could! We'd definitely recommend this class.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 21, 2024
- Vili RFinland1 contributionA must try for a home chefBooked a private lesson and absolutely loved it. The instructor was really kind, supportive and all around pleasant to spend 3-4 hours with. She gave really good tips and ways to substitute some thai ingredients with the ones I can find from my country. Would recommend her private or group lessons to anyone, one of the best things I did in Thailand!Visited February 2024Traveled soloWritten February 19, 2024
- MyleneThe Netherlands9 contributionsGreat!Chef Yaa is such a talented teacher! Everyone is cooking different dishes yet she integrates it all so smoothly, all the while cooking & educating you throughout. She’s so kind and has a very nice presence to be around and that is also excluding her talents that are so brightly present! My twin recommended this course as she did it seven years ago and it’s still such a lovely memory for her. She tried a few and this one stood out, it’s very clear why. We highly recommend it! Thank you, Chef!Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 29, 2024
- Viking1012Arnhem, The Netherlands37 contributionsGreat cooking courseHad a great half-day cooking course. Booking was very easy and fast, and they were very helpful in arranging pick-up. Visiting the market was fun and interesting. The course itself was very well structured with first preparing all the ingredients for all four courses (mis en place) with explanations and suggestions for alternatives available in European shops, then cooking and eating each course. Everything was delicious and we even had a great evening meal off the leftovers.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 27, 2024

I live in Hua Hin and have many visitors and I like to take them to the HH Cooking Academy as part of their experience. Chef Yaa has so much knowledge of Thai cuisine, she’s enthusiastic and energetic. Explains everything very well and love that she’s gives alternatives to some of the ingredients that may prove difficult to find when guests return home. The preparation that she and her team put into each class to make our experience fun and informative is professional and appreciated. The intimate nature of where the classes are held just makes the experience even more enjoyable. Without doubt everyone I have taken to these classes remarked that it was one of the best things they did during their time in Hua Hin. We even get to enjoy the fruits of our labours and it’s so delicious, yum yum. Go to a class you won’t be disappointed.

From my first correspondence with Chef Yaa until we finished the course, everything was excellent. Chef Yaa's communication was so good...immediate responses, clear descriptions of the course, and she also asked many questions to determine what would be best for our group.
Everything was well prepared for us, the instruction was clear and concise, and she taught us so many good things...both about the ingredients and and also about meal preparation. She is passionate about food, and also a great teacher!
We had a group of 9, and I didn't hear a single negative thing about our experience.
I highly recommend the Hua Hin Thai Cooking Academy, and would definitely go back again! Thanks Chef Yaa!!!

You can choose between morning and afternoon, so it's okay if you're a late riser. I participated as a couple, and each person was able to choose 4 dishes, so we learned a total of 8 dishes. Chef Yaa is patient and kind. His planning is perfect, so we started making the curry paste and finished the dishes in about 3 hours, including tasting. Every dish was delicious. Personally, I was happy to learn how to make my favorite dish, Khao Soi (a Chiang Mai specialty), even though I was in Hua Hin.

I was on a class with my 8 year old son. It was such a lovely experience, we made food that looked and tasted like the best restaurants. My son liked it too even though he don’t speak that much English, but he learned something anyway. Our hostess vas very friendly and everything was very clean and neat.
If you want to learn some Thai cooking I can recommend.

A superb afternoon had by all of us - 7 of us in total (3 adults and 4 kids). Just us and a perfect lesson. The chef was so friendly and helpful and knows her stuff. Wow.
The food itself was so delicious - all of the dishes. And there was a lot for us all to eat.
Highly highly recommended. It doesn't look like much when you drive down the small alley to get to it but great fun.

Good afternoon! I will be in Hua Hin from January 10 to 30. I wanted to attend your courses. What can you suggest?
Written January 2, 2020
Highly recommend. You choose 4 dishes in advance that you want to make. A short market tour first.

Hi, is it possible to take home written instructions for the recipes? 😊
Written September 21, 2019
Was such a great course. I even swapped recipes with other participants and took photos of what they'd cooked. You will get a printed sheet and I still refer to mine regularly.
