Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Krabi, built around Smart Cook Thai Cookery School. It is run by Thailand Escapes, 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.

Pickup is offered from Ao Nang and Ao Nammao; the exact spot and time are agreed with Thailand Escapes once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel round-trip transfer from Ao Nang/Ao Nam Mao, Ingredients, Fruits and preparation of spicy Thai salads and Food and water. It does not cover Tips, 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.

We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Thailand Escapes before treating your booking as final.

Wir sind wirklich rundum zufrieden, von der Abholung bis zum eigentlichen Event war alles total super. Unsere Guide (An/Anh) war super lieb, sehr herzlich und wirklich zuvorkommend. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und haben viel gelernt. Die Auswahl an verschiedenen Gerichten, lässt keine Wünsche offen, und für jeden ist etwas dabei. Auch vegetarische Präferenzen werden beachtet. :) Wir können das Erlebnis besten Gewissens weiterempfehlen!

Gataii was an amazing teacher with lots of funny comments. It was a lot of food, so come hungry indeed! It would be nice if it was possible to take the leftovers with you.

Alles super gewesen, man konnte sich vor Ort sein eigenes Menü aussuchen. Es hätten auch unterschiedliche Menüs funkioniert. Wir waren nach knapp 2,5 h fertig, waren aber auch nur zu zweit bzw. Teilweise zu dritt. Wir haben am Ende alle Rezepte bekommen, unser Guid war echt super nett und witzig. Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Man geht auch definitiv nich hungrig Heim, wir waren mehr als satt

Frequently Asked Questions

Thailand Escapes sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover tips. 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.
