The 10 Best Cooking Classes in Ko Samui, Surat Thani Province

March 24, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts

Reviewed By DtotheJ - Ibiza, Spain

Mind blowing!!! Stop looking for restaurants, this will fully satisfy your desires and taste buds in all possibilities (if you want to explore traditional thai cusine). After my first visit i have decided to only eat here for the rest of my stay on Samui, as i am tired of trying worthless tourist trap restaurants. Everything - from service to presentation to cleanliness to kindness to prices is on point. The food is just excellent, well balanced and not drenched in oil or fish sauce like other places. Water gets served for free and you can even attend cooking classes and learn how to master plentiful thai recipies. Trust me i know what im talking about when it comes to food and i am blown away. Enjoy!

We all agreed one of our most enjoyable day's and great value for money. Looking forward to recreating one of the recipes at home from helpful recipe book provided with the class! Thanks Pai for a wonderful experience.

My partner and I had our cooking class with Ying on the 25th of February and fortunately for us the other couple cancelled and so it became our own personal cooking class. Ying picked us up from our hotel and then took us to a local market, at the market we discussed what type of recipes we would like to cook , we wanted to do traditional recipes and Ying was excited to teach us some of her local dishes. We were welcomed into Ying's home by her parents and of course her 3 kitties and Ying gave us a tour of the vegetable patch and showed us her impressive compost set up. During our tour Ying picked some chillies and kaffir lime leaves and then we headed inside to start cooking. I really enjoyed the way that Ying guided our cooking with direction and guidance and it was great to be shown different techniques to get the best flavours out of the ingredients. Ying wanted us to cook each dish to our own tastes, so we made each dish as spicy or as mild as we wanted depending on our preference and she showed us how to alter each dish to make it perfect. We then got to eat our creations while Ying and her parents tidied up for us and got everything ready for the next dish. Ying then topped off the experience by emailing all of the recipes for the dishes that we cooked and even sent us some other recipes that she thought we might like to try cooking the following weekend after our class. We had the best day with Ying and would recommend this experience to anyone travelling to Koh Samui ????

Chef Jul was wonderful. She picked me up in her truck from my hotel. She provided the ingredients and instruction to prepare three dishes. I chose Green Curry with chicken, Tom Kha Soup with shrimp and spring rolls. Then we toured her lovely herb garden and took a trip to the local green market (Big Buddha Market) where we purchased a few items to take home. Only one other person was in my group. Omar from Israel, it was a pleasure sharing this experience with you. Everything was as advertised. I would highly recommend this cooking class.

Lamai Thai cooking school

Reviewed By ksutherland2018 - Melbourne, Australia

Five of us, teens and adults, went along to the Lamai Thai Cooking School. It was a very enjoyable and delicious experience and the kids are enthused about cooking Thai food at home (which is always a plus). Um is a patient, friendly, engaging teacher, who made the whole thing a lot of fun. The location is excellent too, with a view out over the ocean and grandfather rock (which also amused the kids). The only warning I'd give is: DO NOT EAT before you go; it's five courses of Thai goodness, you want to make sure you have space.

Reviewed By ChrisB17_02 - Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

Combination of thai cooking class and a tour of an amazing sustainable and acquaponic garden where you pick the majority of the ingredients for the three dishes you cook. So interesting and the story of how Chef Lat and her husband developed the place over the years, together with their family home is inspirational. This is way above other cooking classes on Samui. You’re mad if you are on Samui and don’t do it. And they still have lots of ideas for the future!
