Best experience I had!

I had the best experience! The cooking guide is full of knowledge and shares it through the market tour, the cooking class, and the wonderful food maps she has up on the walls at her place. She also took us through a guided tour in her garden to learn about the roots and herbs we used. The best experience I had in Koh Samui!

Fantastic class.

A fantastic authentic experience. Myself and my brother-in-law took part in the cooking class - having done many cooking classes, this was by far the most authentic and best value for money. Would thoroughly recomend to anyone wanting to understand traditional Thai cooking styles and principles whilst staying in Koh Samui.

A Must Do While In Koh Samui!!!

One of the best events we did in Thailand. This is a private cooking class taught at a local residence. Our instructor, Ms. Jul, was excellent. She personally picked us up at our hotel and took us to a local market. Coming from the United States, and seeing how a local outdoor market in an Asian country operates, is cultural experience in itself. We then went to her house, which got us out of the tourist area and gave us an opportunity to see how and where the local residence live. She showed us her garden, where she grows her own herbs and veggies that she sells to the local markets and uses in her classes. Her class is done at cooking stations on her outdoor deck. Ms. Jul was very informative, a great instructor, and made the class very fun. Not only did we learn how to cook certain dishes, but she educated us on the local ingredients the are used in Thai cooking. I sure hope the unique ingredients will be available at some of our Asian markets where we live in America, so we can cook these meals at home. I definitely prefer this small sized and intimate class vs the larger commercialized classes that were available.

Authentic and enjoyable Thai Cooking Experience

I had a terrific, authentic Thai cooking experience with June from Samui Good Herb at her home in Lamai. As well as being our cooking teacher, June also picked up and dropped participants at our accomodation which was great. To commence, June gave us interesting background information on traditional Thai ingredients & dishes to set the context. On the job, she was very organised and had all of our cooking stations setup with recipe cards and some of the prep work already done, so her instructions were particularly clear and easy to follow. She was generous with her cooking tips and the results, especially my Penang Curry (Thai favourite) were delicious! Her whole setup was authentic, clean and very well thought out. The market tour afterwards was also a great learning experience and very enjoyable. Thank you June! I would give your experience more than 5 stars if I could. Kim (Western Australia)

EXCELLENT cooking class

EXCELLENT cooking class with a very nice host who was attentive and made sure we had what we needed to get an amazing experience. The variety of dishes was excellent and we (family of 4) were able to pick 3 dishes each before the class started. The host reached out to us 2 days prior and sent us a list of 8-9 choices and each of our family members was able to pick 3 custom dishes they wanted to make. Everyone had their own cooking station and the entire class was at the host's home. We routinely take cooking classes everywhere we travel and this was probably our 12th or 13th class. This ranked up in the top 3 for sure and since some of our family members were vegetarian, the host was able to easily accommodate this request. She was also in tune with not using fish sauce for the vegetarians. I hightly recommend this class to anyone visiting Koh Samui and wanting to learn the way locals cook their meals.

Good Thai cooking experience

Don’t eat before going! The class cooks 3 meals, one after the other, cooking - eating, cooking - eating, cooking - eating. Market visit and cooking is well organised and fun. You select from a good range of menu options and each person cooks their own menu. Venue is at house, so also includes learning about plants in garden (herbs, fruit, veg). Would recommend although we seemed to pay more than advertised price (AU) and I’m sure Trip Advisor gets a good chunk of what you pay. Would prefer if I could book with instructor directly.
