Located on Patak Road in Phuket's Kata area, this cooking school offers hands-on classes where participants actively prepare traditional Thai dishes rather than simply observe. Instructor Jim has built a strong reputation for making classes both educational and entertaining, guiding students through the techniques and reasoning behind dishes such as Tom Yum, Thai Green Curry, Pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. At the end of each session, participants sit down to eat everything they have cooked, making it a rewarding full-circle experience.
The school welcomes solo travelers, couples, and families alike, and the intimate class format encourages genuine cultural exchange alongside practical cooking skills. Classes cover not just the how but the why of Thai cooking, giving participants a deeper understanding of ingredients and methods that translates well to recreating dishes at home. The atmosphere is consistently described by visitors as warm, lively, and welcoming for all skill levels, including those who consider themselves eaters rather than cooks.

Reviews from Google
An unforgettable experience – a must! I first signed up for Jim’s cooking class while looking for something fun for my son, who loves cooking. Personally, I’m more of an eater than a cook, but we decided to join as a whole family and give it a try. And wow - what an absolute blast! Jim, with his vibrant personality and infectious laugh, shared with us the secrets of Thai cuisine. The class turned into a colorful, fun, and hilarious adventure that we’ll always remember. Thank you, Jim, for such an incredible experience. It was professional, engaging, and so much fun. Highly recommended!
Our family had the best afternoon learning to cook the most delicious Thai food. The spring rolls, Pad Thai, Red chicken Curry dish and mango sticky rice were absolutely delicious and Jim made the whole experience so entertaining and insightful. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Thai food. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and the portions were super generous.
Amazing and fun experience provided by the chef Jim! We cooked the best mango sticky rice I’ve ever eaten, very glad I had this experience, then you get to eat all the food you just cooked! 100% recommend
