Why go, and how to do it well

Cookery Koh Samui offers small-group Thai cooking classes in Bo Put, led by instructor Pai, who has built a strong reputation for making the experience both educational and genuinely enjoyable. The focus is on authentic Thai cooking techniques using local ingredients, with participants preparing dishes from scratch rather than simply watching a demonstration. The intimate class format means Pai can give individual attention to each guest, and the experience has proven equally rewarding for solo travelers, couples, families with children, and larger groups.

The atmosphere is relaxed and hands-on, with classes structured to accommodate different dietary requirements, including vegetarian adaptations, without disrupting the flow for others. Reviewers consistently highlight Pai's attentiveness, clear instruction, and ability to work with mixed groups of varying ages, skill levels, and food preferences. The setting on Koh Samui adds a tropical backdrop that fits naturally with the island-focused cooking style.

Reviews from Google

We had an excellent cooking school with Pai and a lot of fun. We were a group of 8 people and although it is normally only for a maximum of 7 people, an 8th gas stove was specially organized. There are 4 suggestions for the menu that you can choose from. Since we didn't want to make curry paste, we were able to put together a selection of different dishes. We had 2 vegetarians with us and it wasn't a problem at all. They had tofu instead of meat and they even replaced the oyster sauce with mushroom sauce. The organization was very good and the explanations in English were very understandable. We all had a lot of fun, had very full stomachs after the meal and learned a lot.

I went to cookery class with my friend and it was so amazing! Our host Pai had everything prepared, organized and explained in a simple way. At the same time we learned to cook ourselves. And there were good tips all along. We came to cook 3-4 dishes, but ended up with cooking 6, including dessert and one more. It is my first Thai cooking class, I enjoyed it very much, all dishes turned out to be delicious! I highly recommend Pai and her classes🧡🧡🧡

We really enjoyed our class with Pai. We went as a couple, one of whom is vegetarian and it was no problem. Everything was adapted for both of us and we learnt a lot. The food we made was delicious and overall it was a great experience.
