Situated in the popular beach area of Ao Nang, Smart Cook Thai Cookery School offers hands-on cooking classes that go well beyond a standard tourist activity. Students learn to prepare dishes from scratch — including Thai curry paste, spring rolls, pad Thai, and soup — guided by instructors who are noted for their clear explanations, patience, and entertaining teaching style. The small group format keeps sessions personal and relaxed, giving participants genuine attention throughout.
The atmosphere is consistently described by visitors as friendly and fun, with instructors bringing both culinary knowledge and genuine warmth to each class. Guests cook and eat multiple dishes during a single session, making it as much a tasting experience as a learning one. Evening classes are available, making it a sociable way to spend a night in Krabi while picking up skills that translate directly to cooking Thai food at home.

Reviews from Google
Our evening cooking class at Smart Cook was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our stay in Thailand. The class took place in a small, intimate group, which created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere from the very beginning. We were guided through the cooking process by the wonderful Gataii – a very kind, smiling, funny, and welcoming woman who instantly made everyone feel comfortable. Her positive energy and sense of humor turned the whole evening into not just a cooking class, but a truly joyful experience. During the class, we learned how to prepare five traditional Thai dishes step by step. Everything was clearly explained, hands-on, and easy to follow, even for beginners. As a lovely bonus, we received the recipes to take home, so we can recreate these amazing dishes anytime we miss Thailand. We learned a lot, laughed even more, and enjoyed every single moment. This cooking class was the perfect mix of learning, fun, and delicious food. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Ao Nang who wants to experience Thai cuisine in an authentic and enjoyable way!
Wonderful experience! The cooking class was very well organized and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The instructor was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly, and had a great sense of humor, which made learning really enjoyable. All the dishes we prepared were delicious and it was a pleasure to taste everything we cooked. I will definitely try to recreate these recipes when I return to Poland. And the mango sticky rice was absolutely the best! I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn about Thai cuisine and spend a fantastic time. Joanna
It was like a comedy show and a cooking class all in one. Sexy Bunny was our host and we absolutely loved her. We made our own Thai curry paste, spring rolls from scratch, Thai soup, pad Thai and so much more. We were absolutely stuffed after! Highly recommend!
