Oh my word, do not miss this! It was a total trip highlight for my husband and I. The food was amazing and we really enjoyed each of the many dishes we made as well as the market tour. The class was very easy to follow along with and they gave us a ton of independence. They were friendly and the place felt very clean! Would definitely do the class again.

We had a fantastic time with Chef VJ and all of her wonderful staff. We started at the market where we were given the opportunity to try some local fruits, it was a little rushed but still nice to try them. The cooking class was well set up and the day ran very smoothly. It was a hands on class so we chopped,sliced and pounded our ingredients and made 6 delicious meals which we got to sit down and eat. I would highly recommend booking a class here as it was a fun and interactive day and the food was sensational.

We had so much fun in Phuket Thai Cooking Class with short market tour option. We learned the different kinds of fruits, learned the different tastes and textures. As for the cooking class, we learned 4 Thai dishes--- pad thai, tom yum, green curry (we made it from scratch!) and mango sticky rice! It was so fun and we were so full! We basically cooked and eat! My two daughters enjoyed a lot!!! A very memorable trip to Phuket this 2024.
Thank you!

I had an amazing time at the Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Chef VJ! The class was a hands-on and immersive experience that truly brought Thai cuisine to life. Chef VJ was an excellent instructor, providing clear guidance and sharing insightful tips about traditional Thai cooking techniques and ingredients.
My favorite dishes to prepare were the rich and flavorful Massaman Curry, the perfectly balanced Pad Thai, and the deliciously sweet sticky rice with mango. Each dish was a delight to make and even more enjoyable to eat. Cooking everything myself under Chef VJ’s expert supervision gave me a deep appreciation for the complexity and harmony of Thai flavors.
The class was well-organized, fun, and educational, making it a highlight of my trip to Phuket. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking to explore Thai cuisine in a fun and interactive way!
