Thai Cooking Class by Chef Tan

Thai Cooking Class by Chef Tan offers an intimate, hands-on culinary experience in the Karon area of Phuket, where participants learn to prepare authentic Thai dishes under the guidance of Chef Tan. The class setting is personal and approachable, making it suitable for travellers with little to no cooking experience as well as those looking to deepen their understanding of Thai cuisine and its foundational techniques. Students can expect to work with fresh, traditional ingredients while learning the methods behind classic Thai flavours, including the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy that defines the cuisine. The experience goes beyond simply following a recipe, giving participants insight into the cultural context of the dishes they prepare and the confidence to recreate them at home. Classes run Tuesday through Sunday, with operating hours from 09:00 to 20:00 on most days and extended hours until 22:00 on Wednesdays. The school is located on Patak Road in Tambon Karon, which is easily accessible from the main Karon and Kata beach areas. Booking in advance is recommended, particularly during the high tourist season, as the personalised format means class sizes are kept small. Visitors should check the official website for current class schedules, available dishes, and pricing details before arriving.
