Khao Lak, Thailand

3 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Unlike standard cooking classes with a fixed menu, this experience is personalized from the very beginning. Each guest receives 200 THB to shop at a local market with the chef, choosing fresh ingredients and selecting the Thai dishes they would like to cook.

Every class is different. Even couples, families, or friends joining together can prepare different recipes based on their own tastes, dietary needs, or curiosity. With guidance from a local chef, guests learn how to choose Thai ingredients, understand local flavors, and turn their market finds into authentic homemade dishes.

More than a cooking class, this is a hands-on cultural experience where each participant creates their own Thai food story to take home.

What to expect

Begin your experience with a convenient hotel pickup before heading to a lively local market in Khao Lak. Here, each guest receives 200 THB to shop for fresh ingredients with guidance from your chef. You’ll learn about Thai herbs and spices while choosing exactly which dishes you want to cook.

Back at the cooking school, enjoy a fun and interactive class where every participant can prepare different recipes — from Som Tam and Pad Thai to Thai curries or desserts. Your chef will guide you step by step, sharing tips and stories along the way.

Finally, sit down together to enjoy the dishes you’ve created in a friendly, small-group setting. With flexible menus, market shopping, and authentic flavors, every class is a unique culinary adventure.
