Lek is the most wonderful teacher (and person!) with a great sense of humour, incredible patience and a real talent for cooking and teaching. We had the best day in Pai learning about Thai cuisine and cooking our own delicious dishes. Lek was so accommodating of dietary requirements and us being slow choppers! The rest of the group were also really fun to be around and it added to the experience, being able to meet new people from around the world who share a love of cooking. My boyfriend and I perfected three dishes: morning glory, pad Thai and massaman curry. Because you are given free reign of your dishes, ours looked and tasted so different! For 750 baht you cannot go wrong - your experience of Pai will be missing something huge if you choose not to go to Lek's cooking school!

Could not recommend this cooking class enough - Thom is such a lovely, funny person, and an amazing teacher. The class is so worth the money because of the valuable skills you will come away with! We cooked four dishes in total that we got to choose, it really is a day of cooking and tasting amazing Thai food!! Very professionally organised and you get given a recipe book to keep too!

My partner and I had the privilege to have a private class with the absolutely lovely Mae!! 4 hours of absolutely joy, visit to a local market where Mae was wondering around and explaining (with so much passion!) about the different local products and their use... from there back to the beautiful garden with an outdoor kitchen where we started to cook!! Each had the chance to choose 4 different dishes (so we picked 8 different dishes in total!! ????) Cooking in a great environment, super cozy, fresh ingredients, easy to follow her instructions and lots of laughter time in between! Sensational food!! Came out with a wonderful memory, smile on my face and food coma ???????????? If you are in Pai; it’s a MUST!!! Thank you Mae, we will come to visit you again ! ❤️

We can't recomend Gaew's cookery class highly enough, she was very friendly and we had a great time not only cooking delicious food but also getting to know her and hear some of her stories! We could pick virtually anything we wanted to make and it was completely customizable to what we wanted to cook. We had been looking at doing a class for awhile in Thailand and glad we waited until Pai, not only are the prices extremely cheap compared to other areas of the country the quality local ingredients were delicious and being able to walk round the local market with her asking questions and being given tips on what to look out for when buying ingredients was great! All in all brilliant 4 hours spent at Pai Cookery School and we were absolutely stuffed when we left! Thanks Gaew :)
