Cooking in Nature by Mount to Mount Homestead and Garden
Nestled in the greenery of Nong Thale, just outside Krabi town, Cooking in Nature by Mount to Mount Homestead and Garden offers an immersive Thai cooking experience set against a backdrop of tropical gardens and the natural landscape of the surrounding countryside. The setting itself is a key part of the appeal, combining the practical activity of learning to cook with the calm, grounded atmosphere of a working homestead.
Visitors can expect a hands-on experience that connects them with Thai ingredients, techniques, and flavours in an outdoor or garden environment rather than a conventional kitchen classroom. The homestead setting gives the experience a distinctly personal and unhurried quality, setting it apart from more commercial cooking classes found closer to tourist centres. The class draws consistently strong feedback from participants, reflecting both the quality of instruction and the warmth of the environment.
Practically speaking, the location sits at 279 Tambon Nong Thale in Mueang Krabi district, making it accessible from central Krabi town, though having private transport or arranging a transfer in advance is advisable given the rural setting. As opening hours are not publicly listed, prospective visitors are encouraged to reach out directly to confirm scheduling and availability before making the trip. Lightweight, comfortable clothing suited to an outdoor cooking environment is recommended.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
