1. Mina's Cooking Classes

My family of 4 went took a class with Mina and her sister back in January 2021. We stayed at the Paradise resort which is further away so we rented some scooters to be able to get ourselves around. It was really easy to make a booking and we were able to specify all of the things that we wanted to cook (private class). Mina speaks English very well, we learned so much from her lessons and stories! We learned about the ingredients, how to make coconut milk and cream straight from the coconut, and how to makes the pastes for yellow, green, and massaman curries from scratch. The whole experience was educational and more importantly really fun, Mina and her sister were both wonderful! This course might be a little more expensive than other cooking classes in the area, but (at the very least compared to any of the resort options) I'd have to say this is a much more authentic and fulfilling experience and 100% worth the cost (and more). As others have said, it was the best food we ate on the island.

At 50 and out of shape, I spent a month at Rawai. I’m not a very outgoing person, and on my own, I was made to feel very at home there. I’m not going to pretend it was easy, but I eventually managed to get through the two group sessions in a day. I’d suggest working up to 5 by 2 minute rounds of skipping with a two minute break that includes 10 pushups and 10 sit-ups before going. I never did that and could achieve it by the time I returned home but feel I missed some technique lessons because of fitness. If you go as a couple, just do the morning session, hire some scooters, and be amazed by the beautiful day trips and amazing food. As soon as Covid19 is over do it! Brilliant.

Learn to cook traditional Thai cuisine with Pui, one of Khao Lak’s most popular Thai cooking teachers. Pui’s class is all about you getting the most out of your course. There is no set menu where you are told what you will be making and there’s no schedule where certain dishes are prepared only on certain days. The class take place on a garden terrace, over looking a lush tropical garden.

We chose Lay cooking because we wanted to support a smaller locally owned business rather than a large corporate owed business. We were very happy with our decision. We were picked up in an air conditioned van and brought to a local market to explore before heading to Lays restaurant. The instruction was wonderful and the food we made was delicious. (A lot of food . So arrive hungry!) The only thing to consider is that this is an outdoor restaurant. There were fans to keep us “ cool”, and we were not too bothered by the heat, but I imagine if you are heat sensitive, this might not be the right experience for you . We would definitely go back. Very fun!

Hi, my name is Apple and I would love to show you some of the secrets of Thai cooking. I have created a cosy kitchen overlooking the river not too far from Khao Lak’s town centre. I learnt to cook food the traditional way, helping my Mama in the kitchen from an early age. I have also run a popular Thai restaurant and more recently I cook daily for my guests at popular guest house.
Reviewed By sgeorge1 - Lutterworth, United Kingdom
The experience starts from your hotel, you are collected and head to the local market, Apple takes you through the market and you get to see some great produce. After the market the fun really begins, I'm not going to give all the little suprises away! Apple is very welcoming and her English was the best we encountered during our holiday. This was my top experience whilst in Thailand and worth every penny, I can't recommend Apple enough.
