Full description

This is a 3.5-hour experience in Krabi. It is run by Authentic Thai Cooking School, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese cooking classes usually build a meal around dashi, the kombu and bonito stock that sits under miso soup, simmered dishes and noodle broths, and then one or two headline dishes: rolled sushi or nigiri, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki, or a bento box. Wagashi classes make the seasonal sweets served with tea from sweet bean paste. Most classes run two to three hours in a home kitchen or a small studio, and vegetarian versions replace the bonito with a kombu-shiitake dashi. You eat what you make, and Japanese teachers are precise about technique.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Drinking water, All ingredients for cooking, PDF recipe book and Hands-on cooking class. It does not cover Beer and alcohol, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hotel pickup in Krabi. Authentic Thai Cooking School confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Authentic Thai Cooking School before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The cooking class with Annie was amazing. We learned a lot about thai cuisine, how to cook a whole menu (more than we could eat, actually) and then had a pleasant ride home with her. Would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone who likes thai food.

My wife and I had an incredible time at this Thai cooking class! From start to finish, the experience was smooth and perfectly organized. Our instructor was extremely professional and had a great way of making us feel confident and welcome in the kitchen. We absolutely loved the recipes we made—they were authentic and delicious. It was a truly memorable experience and one of the highlight of our trip.

Interesting experience... there are always options to choose. Spring Rolls ir Papaya Salad Green or Yellow Curry or another one which name I have forgotten Thai soup or other soups Cashews plate, Pad Thai or a third option plus Mango Sticky Rice You see there is always an option for everyone... super easy to make, even for me who can't cook. My wife and I split the menues so we could taste a bit of everything. Really good... well organised and Poppy our chief cook was helpful and patient. Well done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Krabi. Authentic Thai Cooking School confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover beer and alcohol (available for purchase). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you say so when you book rather than on the day. Fish sauce and shrimp paste are in almost every Thai dish, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need to be named specifically; the teacher swaps in soy sauce and salt and the food is still good. Halal versions exist at several schools and are worth asking for by name.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
