Why go, and how to do it well
Set on the quieter stretch of Klong Kong Beach in Ko Lanta, this cooking school and organic garden offers small-group classes where participants learn to prepare authentic Thai dishes under the guidance of Chef Pon, an experienced and personable instructor praised by visitors for his patience and warmth. Classes are kept intimate by design, typically hosting only a handful of guests at a time, which allows for a genuinely personal and interactive experience rather than a classroom-style lesson.
Guests are welcomed on arrival with coffee, tea, and fresh fruit before choosing their dishes from a flexible menu that can accommodate different preferences and dietary requirements. The cooking stations are designed to be shared, making this a particularly enjoyable activity for couples, families, and small groups. The on-site organic garden connects participants directly with the ingredients they use, adding a farm-to-table dimension that goes beyond the cooking itself. Reviewers consistently highlight the quality of the fresh ingredients, the relaxed atmosphere, and the approachability of both Chef Pon and his co-host Karina.

Reviews from Google
We joined the Spice and Knives Thai cooking class in Koh Lanta as a group of two and had a fantastic experience. Including us, there were 7 people in total, which made the class feel friendly and interactive without being crowded. We prepared Pad Thai and Green Curry paste, and we also got to watch the rest of the group make other dishes—which added variety and made the whole session even more interesting. The atmosphere was excellent thanks to Mr. Po (the chef) and his wife, who was always present, friendly, and very helpful throughout the entire class. Their energy made the experience both educational and enjoyable, and the class felt very welcoming from start to finish. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend Spice and Knives to anyone who loves Thai food and wants a hands-on, authentic cooking experience in Koh Lanta!
Amazing cooking class! Spice & Knives was one of the most welcoming and personal experiences we had in Koh Lanta. Chef Pon is an experienced Thai chef. He’s very patient and has a great sense of humor, while his German wife Carina made us feel instantly at home! Almost all the ingredients came straight from their own garden, which made the dishes taste even more special. It was delicious, heartfelt, and genuinely enriching — an experience we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended!
Our favourite day from our month in Thailand! Mr.Pon and Karina were fabulous hosts and made us feel so at home! Fabulous fresh ingredients and the most delicious food with great options. So much fun - definitely go hungry!! Thank you both, you deserve all the best 🙏🏼
