It was a great experience that I had with my friends. The transportation provided was smooth and well-organized. The cooking instructor was knowledgeable and humorous. The four dishes were just right—delicious and filling for us.

Excellent experience. They followed up closely informing the pick up and drop off. Very patient with the whole process. Walked us through the market and cooked the dished with us 1 at a time. Well staff and ensured the whole session was smooth. Our chef Taya spoken very fluent English and it made it very easy for us to communicate with her.

Enjoyed the experience! Go with an empty stomach - we just had lunch before our afternoon session and were stuffed by the end of the session. The whole session was run very professionally yet still made so fun!

Aidi.Family (with young kids)

The pick up was timely. There were four dishes in total. A welcome drink was served. Do not be turned off by the “for children above 18 years old”. The instructor was patient and good with my children aged 10 and 11 years old. There is a photographer taking photos, so there is no need to take out your phone to snap pictures. There were four ongoing classes and they were fully booked. Ten students were in each class. There are two assistants who constantly come out to clear the tables after you have put the ingredients into the pan/pot/wok. Be rest assured that the food is really as good as they looked in the photos. Nonetheless, as we were picked up first, it would be nice to have us dropped off first. We were dropped off last. For the Doi Inthanon trip, we were picked up last and dropped off last.
