Phuket Thai Cooking Academy

Here’s a polished, 5-star–style Google review you can copy and paste (feel free to tweak tone or details): ⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at Phuket Thai Cooking Academy! From start to finish, everything was well organized, welcoming, and genuinely fun. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about Thai cuisine, making the class engaging whether you’re a beginner or someone who already enjoys cooking. We learned about ingredients, techniques, and cultural context—not just recipes—and the hands-on approach made it easy to follow along. Every dish we made was absolutely delicious, and I loved that we could actually recreate everything afterward at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, the facilities were clean, and the entire experience felt authentic and memorable. If you’re visiting Phuket and want a meaningful, interactive activity (and great food!), this is a must-do. Highly recommend!

We had such an amazing experience at this cooking class from start to finish! The market visit was such a fun and authentic part of the day. Ploy, our teacher explained all the ingredients so clearly and shared so much knowledge. When we arrived at the academy, the set-up was absolutely lovely and very welcoming. Ploy and June were both fantastic throughout the class. They guided us step by step, helped whenever we needed it and created such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The food at the end was exceptional. All the ingredients were incredibly fresh and every dish we made was full of flavour and absolutely delicious. We also really appreciated how accommodating they were. We had one vegan, two vegetarians, and one meat eater in our group and they catered to everyone perfectly without compromising on taste or experience. We would highly recommend this class to anyone, such a memorable and enjoyable day!

Very interesting and authentic cooking class. Starts in a market near the school and you get to see local products from local vendors. Then it's off to class! The instructor was amazing and able to keep track of the progress of each of the three dishes everyone had chosen during prep, cooking, and finish. As a group we made coconut cream, coconut milk (that we used), tempura bananas, and mango sticky rice. At the end we had plenty to eat, plenty to share, and enough to take away. I would go to this school again in a heartbeat. They have other offerings for more in depth study; next visit definitely!
