Why go, and how to do it well

Takiab Thai Cooking Class offers a personalised, hands-on culinary experience in Hua Hin, led by chef Preaw, whose deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and patient teaching style have earned consistently glowing feedback from visitors. Each session focuses on preparing three authentic Thai dishes, guiding participants through the fundamentals of flavour, preparation, and the art of making paste from scratch — skills designed to be genuinely recreatable at home.

Classes are well-suited to a range of dietary requirements, with previous sessions accommodating guests who are gluten-free or have seafood allergies, making it an accessible option for groups with varied needs. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with instruction delivered in clear English, and the format works well for both individuals and larger groups. Visitors consistently note that they leave feeling confident enough to bring the dishes to their own kitchens.

Classes run seven days a week between 08:00 and 20:00, offering good flexibility for travellers building around other plans. Booking in advance is recommended, particularly for larger groups, to ensure the class can be tailored to any dietary requirements ahead of time. The venue is located on Phet Kasem Road in the Nong Kae area of Hua Hin. Check the official website at takiabthaicookingclass.com for current class schedules, pricing, and reservation details.

The most amazing cooking experience! Preaw is a wonderful knowledgeable chef that adapts to your every need. It was such a great experience to learn to cook 3 dishes we have tasted so many times but had no idea how ! . Red chicken curry with pineapple . Clear and dark noodle soap . Steamed sea bass Don't miss this opportunity if you can, Preaw will let you know what ingredients can be substituted in your country and you will learn from scratch, step by step, until voila you have a wonderful Thai dish before you :) Kop khun ka, kop khun ka, kop khun ka !! ❤️ Laura and Juan

What a delightful experience. Thanks to Preaw, we are fully equipped to dazzle family and friends with 3 delicious Thai dishes. It's all about the prep and the paste. I can see my husband and I taking the time to create new dishes for guests. Thank you, Preaw, for sharing your recipes and making it easy to follow your directions. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience of Thai cooking. Authentic and very interesting. A lovely teacher, who was knowledgeable and spoke good English.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
