SBG Cooking School

5.0(270 reviews)

Located on Nanai Road in Patong, SBG Cooking School offers structured Thai cooking classes that go well beyond basic instruction. Classes are led by skilled local teachers — including the frequently praised Nana — who guide participants through authentic dishes such as Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yum Goong, Mango Sticky Rice, and Chicken with Cashew Nuts. The school's Class 6 option, a popular four-hour session, begins with a visit to a local market before moving into hands-on cooking, giving participants context for the ingredients they use and the cuisine they are learning.

The atmosphere is warm, interactive, and genuinely educational, with teachers focused on technique, flavour balance, and ingredient selection. Sessions are designed so that participants leave with skills transferable to their home kitchens, not just a meal eaten on the day. The school operates daily from 10:00 to 20:00, accommodating a wide range of travel schedules whether visitors prefer a morning session or an afternoon class.

I attended a 45-minute cooking class session today at SGB Cooking Class, Phuket, and it was a wonderful experience. I chose this class because of its excellent online ratings, and it truly lived up to the expectations. Chef Nana was an amazing instructor—very friendly, knowledgeable, and clear in her explanations. During the session, I learned how to cook Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry, and she guided us step by step, making the whole process easy and enjoyable even in a short time. The class was well organized, engaging, and perfect for anyone who wants a quick yet authentic introduction to Thai cooking. Highly recommended for tourists and food lovers visiting Phuket! Ps -Also she made me learn (quick to use ) thai words . Khob khun krap chef nana..

This was the most fun cooking class I’ve ever taken! Nana (my teacher) is so amazing and she showed me not only how to cook amazing Thai dishes like chicken with cashew nuts, panaeng curry and green curry but also taught me how to speak basic Thai and Thai words commonly used in cooking and describing food. She’s very patient and detailed and I had a great time. I can definitely see myself making these myself. At the end she even took me to the market and showed me all the best brands and products to buy

This was the most amazing experience, 3 friends and I did class 6 which had 4 meals and market tour. It was super educational and so so much fun! The food we made tasted out of this world and our teacher Nana is THE BEST! Ask for her if you want to have fun and learn lots. KHAO SOI !!!!!!

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.
