Why go, and how to do it well
Thaicookingbysu offers small-group cooking classes on Koh Samui, led by Su, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructor who teaches authentic Thai dishes in a relaxed, personalized environment. Classes take place outdoors in Su's own garden, where fresh herbs and vegetables are grown on-site and used directly in the cooking — a detail that adds a genuine farm-to-table quality to the experience. Dishes covered have included Panang Chicken Curry, Cashew Chicken stir fry, and vegetable spring rolls, with guests able to select their preferred dishes in advance.
The atmosphere is consistently described by visitors as warm and welcoming, with Su and her husband creating a setting that feels more like a home visit than a formal class. Instructions are clear and approachable for all skill levels, making it a suitable activity for complete beginners and experienced home cooks alike. The experience concludes with guests sitting down to eat the dishes they have prepared.
Classes run seven days a week from 10:30 to 13:30, lasting approximately three hours. Booking in advance is recommended, as the personalized nature of the class suggests limited group sizes. Prospective visitors can confirm availability, dish selections, and any dietary requirements through the official website before arrival. The location sits within the Maret area of Koh Samui, in Surat Thani province.

Reviews from Google
Thank you, Su! We enjoyed a cooking class on our honeymoon and we couldn‘t have asked for a better teacher. Su patiently taught us how to cook the dishes we had picked in advance. After cooking, we chatted with Su and her nice husband while enjoying our self-made lunch. While this isn‘t a cheap experience for large crowds of tourists, it is most certainly designed for those who share Su‘s passion for cooking and choose quality before quantity. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the minute they picked us up. All the recipes were sent to us after the class and „customer service“ was offered in case we have questions when cooking the recipes at home. Highly recommend!
Absolutely brilliant! Su is so clear with her instructions and obviously loves to share her passion for authentic Thai cooking. We made Panang Chicken Curry, Cashew Chicken stir fry, vegetable Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Papaya Salad and Mango sticky rice. All were absolutely delicious! The course has really inspired us to try Thai cooking at home. Please don't hesitate to book this incredible experience. Thank you Su!
Thank you very much, dear Su. We really enjoyed your cooking class. We had such a great time and the food was fantastic.
