    Terrific!
    A friend and I went here for an evening class. It was wonderful! It ended up being just the two of us. We were able to pick four dishes to make, but upgraded to 5 for an extra cost. Every dish was absolutely delicious and well explained. They provided a recipe book of every dish, not just the ones you chose. There was wine and beer for purchase as well and free drinking water, tea, and coffee. Beginners to advanced, this class if for anyone. Thank you!

    Great cooking experience
    Together with my family we booked a private class for 4 people. It was a fantastic and learning cooking class. A local teacher who very nice and fluent in english. We felt as real chefs and made the best dishes we have had on the entire vacation. We learned a lot about thai food cooking that we will use at home.

    Thai Cooking Koh Lanta
    Well, we attended the Lanta Thai Cookery School, Phra-Ae, Koh Lanta, Krabi! Meeting our teacher she was competent in English, patient and knowledgeable! We were provided with our own cookbook containing some 16 receipts. You also eat what you make which makes for a 4 course Thai meal included in your price! The cool sits up their own working restaurant so cold beverages are at your fingertips! Provided with the freshest of ingredients, taught techniques and local knowledge ensures you walk away at least with some increased abilities 😂 It’s about a 4 hour class, your provided with an apron and everything you may need!

We came for our honeymoon and are so glad we included this cooking school on our itinerary. We did the dinner course, and our teacher was so sweet and also pretty funny. We were there from 4-8pm and learned how to make 4 dishes out of the 10 that were available for the group to choose. We made Golden Bags with Chicken and Prawns, Seafood in Tamarind Sauce, Massaman Curry with Chicken, and Stir Fried Seafood with Sweet & Sour Sauce. All were delicious! We had some people in our group with food allergies and some that preferred different spice levels, and they were easily able to accommodate the differences, even though we were all making the same thing. We learned about a lot of the ingredients we were using, too, and what we could use to substitute with at home if we couldn't find specific Thai ingredients. Between each dish we learned, we sat at a beautiful table and ate them together. The restaurant below the school also has a bar that you can order drinks from while taking the class, and we were all sent home with a cook book of not only the things we made while there, but of all 10 options that we had to choose from. I highly recommend coming here, we'll definitely be back someday!

We had a really fun night at Lanta Thai Cookery School with a group of friends. I’m not a great cook but with the guidance of our brilliant guide chef I prepared a feast of yummy food - Green papaya salad, Thung Thong (golden parcels), Larb and Massaman curry. I would highly recommend this experience and can’t wait to try out some of the dishes back home (you get the recipe book for free)

Wow! What an experience! My Mom and I loved every second of it. Very organized and experienced team. All of our teachers had been super friendly and great. We could ask all of the questions we wanted and they answered it with passion. We visited the Lunch class and learned 4 disches. But for a little additional charge we were able to learn another dish! We would recommend this class to anyone who loved Thai cuisine and is curious to learn and of course - loves to cook! Thanks again to the great team!
Tipp: visit their restaurant right downstairs „The Garden“ - one of the best breakfasts on Ko Lanta!

Our decision to do the Thai Cooking Class with teacher Prim and teacher Sun was the best we could have done. We booked a private class and had the opportunity to choose four courses out of twenty. The were both so nice and patient and explained a lot about the food and the way to prepare it. You will get two little cook books to take notes and write down all the secrets about the Thai Cousine. We would definitely recommend that class. Thank you so much again!!

We have just had the best afternoon/evening learning how to make some traditional Thai dishes, our teacher was brilliant and it was just the two of us. We only arrived in Koh Lanta at lunchtime, our guesthouse hosts recommended the school and rung them for us, they came and picked us up too which was brilliant. I can thoroughly recommend this cookery school. Just one thing - make sure you are hungry before you go as you get to eat all four dishes you make!

Because of rainy weather we decided to do a Thai cooking class and the Lanta Thai Cookery school took us in just the same day, although we were the only students! It was so lovely! Sunny was our teacher, she was funny, kind and explained every ingredient and step. For the 4h class we could choose 4 dishes from a menu. We even got our own little cooking book with all the recipes!!! We highly recommend to do a class here. It was sooooo tasty and yummy!!

This was a top highlight of my entire Thailand trip, much less in Ko Lanta! Attending the class on Thursday afternoon, my friend and I got picked up from our hotel, and brought to the school, where we then all went shopping for the food we'd be cooking at the local market. (This only happens on Thursdays, so time it for then if you can!) Being led by Prim, the whole class was expertly taught how to make some delicious dishes from someone who had a genuine talent and passion for Thai food. Couldn't recommend more!

I did the dinner cooking course with Aon. She is a great teacher. We were a group of 3 so everyone got to pick 1 dish and the 4th one we picked together. We made golden bags, chicken satay with peanut sauce, massaman curry & the paste and sticky rice with mango. I was really happy for the dishes we picked. All of them were better than what I have had in a restaurant (that's how great teacher Aon is)! The cooking class was a really nice hands on experience and I can now make better Thai food at home which is great!

It was amazing experience. Our teacher Sunny has explained preparation of all dishes chosen, support us on our preparation. Everything was perfectly managed, the food was lovely, tasty (we made the best curry I have ever eaten) and I really enyojed the time. Even though I was alone, the other people in group were super friendly so we all together had a wonderful time. I highly recommend to visit this cookery school, it is fantastic experience!!!
