Half day course, interesting visit to local market & prepared 5 dishes which were eaten for lunch. Very well organised, all ingredients prepared so no time wasted, instructions given clearly by 2 instructors. Lovely setting in house on a hill with great views. Really enjoyable morning for small group (7 participants although space for more).

Its a bit weird when you get dropped off at a 7/11 in front of markets, but once the ladies from the class pick you up its great fun. The recipes are easy to follow and its brilliant everyone cooking their own dish but everyone doing it at same time. The food tastes amazing. Class is well organised. A must do

As it was a smaller group (went during low season), the staff were extra attentive and the pace more relaxed. After the market tour, we were given time to roam the market on our own and buy what we wanted. Christine and team were great fun to be around. The half-day class is more than sufficient, as we stuffed ourselves with yummy food and still had plenty to take away.

A really fantastic afternoon. Very clean and comfortable cooking space with an excellent teaching team. Thai food can seem intimidating to cook but the instruction made it all too easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone considering taking a lesson.

My partner and I were really lucky to enjoy a private, exclusive cooking session with Chef Kristene as the other participants who signed up for the time slot rescheduled their booking.
The session includes a two-way transport from our hotel. Our transport was a cute little red bus.
We met Chef Kristene at the local Kathu wet market where she patiently introduced the different types of ingredients commonly used in Thai cuisine. After the tour in the market, we got back on the bus to get to the cooking school.
The cooking school is air-conditioned, clean and well-equipped. The kitchen oversees a quiet hill and you get to enjoy the scenic view.
We totally enjoy the fuss-free cooking experience! To add on, the entire experience was enhanced by Chef Kristene’s bubbly personality. She made the cooking session fun and engaging for us!
We were totally impressed by how our food turned out (5 dishes per pax). Delicious and also beautifully plated - check out the photos! They look like dishes served in a restaurant!
Price for the cooking class is reasonable and value-for-money. Highly recommended!

I just wanted to say a big shout out to Nok and her super helpful staff. Me and my husband had a fantastic afternoon with her learning all about Thai food. It's such a chilled out atmosphere and the perfect location. Nok was brilliant and i would definitely go back for more - the best Thai food I have tasted!

Without a doubt the most fun I've had with my clothes on in many a year. From start to finish - delightful. The market tour was fascinating and educational, the cooking instruction was fabulous. Nok and King are excellent instructors and a joy to be with. And the FOOD!!!! OMG, did I really make something this good??? If you do nothing else in Phuket, do this. Seriously.

Attended a morning class on March 17, Christine was my allocated Thai chef and mentor for the 5 dishes I selected. Started the day with a tour of the local market with Christine providing amazing knowledge of Thai produce and ingredients for all types of dishes.
We then headed for the kitchen / class room to commence preparation and cooking. The dishes I chose were Massaman Chicken, Black Pepper beef, Satay Chicken, Deep fried banana and Glass Noodle Salad.
With Christine's expert guidance, we prepared all dishes and then once ready, we proceeded with the cooking component. After all dishes were completed, I then sat and sampled portions of all meals of which were absolutely amazing.
On a previous visit to Phuket I had completed a cooking course in Patong with another company, however this course with Phuket Thai Cooking Academy in my view was far more professional and provided much knowledge, hints and tips and learning a variety of skills associated Thai cooking.
Thank you Christine and Phuket Thai Cooking Academy, I had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. As Phuket has become our favorite annual holiday destination now for the past 6 years, I'm looking forward to learning another 5 dishes in March next year, hopefully again with Christine ! :-)

Hi! My friend and I will be in Phuket for the first week of June. I understand that this class is outdoors and I was concerned with weather conditions. Would we still be able to do the class if it rains? Thanks!
Written May 22, 2017
Hello Taylor,
No problem. If it rains the only change to the schedule is moving the market tour to the end of the class.

Hi, I am a Muslim and would like to know whether you use halal ingredients for your cooking classes.
Thanks.
Written September 12, 2016
Hi, It is no problem for us to host your Halal class. We never cook with pork and our chicken is halal certified. This class is typically taught alongside the regularly schedule class. A private class can easily be arranged if you would prefer.

Hi we are coming to Phuket in March and my friend and I would like to do a cooking class, my question is would your class be safe for her as she has an anaphylaxis (allergy) to peanuts and shell fish ?
Thanks
