Full description
This is a 3.5-hour experience in Krabi. It is run by Railay 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 All necessary ingredients, chef instructor, Hands-on cooking experience and Insights into Thai eating culture and stories behind each. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Personal expenses, 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.

It was an incredible experience. The chef is very friendly and loves his job; he even cracked jokes with us. We had so much fun, and learning how to make my favorite dish, Massaman curry, was a truly wonderful experience. It was also great that he gifted us his recipe book. Sending him my regards and love, you wonderful person.
I had such a good time!! I ended up being the only one and I got a class at my own pace. They had a few options upon arrival to choose from to cook which was really nice to cook some things I’ve been loving to eat here! I definitely recommend doing this if you have the time!
One of my best and unforgettable experience in Thailand! The chef was excellent and the food was so tasty!!! Made us believe we can be chefs as well 😂 They were super helpful and guiding us through each step but also kept it so fun! I would definitely do it again next time im back to railay beach.
We had so much fun! My husband and I had the privilege of being Chef Joy’s only students on this particular day. Chef Joy was so kind, sweet, informative and explained in details what to do and why. He also threw in some good jokes which I sincerely appreciated. There were so many tips and tricks that we will now add to our cooking knowledge. My favourite was that you prep everything first, and then you slowly cook each one and then eat it! Once you’re done, you cook the next and then eat again! It was also so wonderful that they provided a booklet with all the recipes to take home. There was
Loved this cooking class. The chef/teacher was excellent - very patient & gave clear instructions. And food was delicious. Come hungry as there is a lot!
Really great class. Lots of direction and very helpful with everything.
Definitely worth it. make sure you go on an empty stomach. also suggest that if you are going with a group to each choose different dishes so that you can try everything 😉
We had such a lovely time! The recipes were easy to understand and well explained and the teachers were helpful and chatty, talking about experiences cooking for lots of interesting people (but I won't tell you in this review you'll have to sign up and find out! 😆) Well worth it, good value for money and a really enjoyable experience.
Simply amazing. Gotta try this experience if you pass by Railay. Place is beautiful, the chef and the lady are helpful and kind and eating what you just cooked still hot and flavorful is priceless.
Very good organisation and preparation. They explain what to do and how to do it. You get to prepare the ingredients/seasonings and to cook the dishes previously selected. Knowledgeable people and tasty food. Recommended
This cooking class is seriously one of the best experiences i’ve had in Thailand. From prepping the ingredients, cooking the dishes, and finally getting to eat what you made, the whole class was incredible. Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of cooking ability.
My husband and I had an outstanding time at this cooking class. It ended up just being the two of us and I would highly recommend booking a private class. We weren’t even planning on it being private and we were thoroughly surprised with how much fun we had together. Our instructor Joy, was just that .. an absolute joy! He explained everything to us, demonstrated for us, and even informed us of recipe “tips and tricks” so that we can make the food ourselves when we get home. All of the food was delicious. Not a single scrap was left over .. except maybe a little bit of dessert because we were
