Description
Discover Thai cuisine through a fully hands-on cooking experience at Phuket Thai Cooking Academy. Unlike many cooking classes with a fixed menu, you choose your own 4 Thai dishes from a selection of popular recipes, allowing each guest to create a personalized menu.
Your experience begins with convenient hotel pickup followed by a guided visit to a local fresh market. Walk through the market with your Thai chef and learn about the herbs, spices, vegetables, sauces, and other ingredients used in everyday Thai cooking. Discover how Thai cooks select fresh ingredients and how sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and aromatic flavors are balanced.
After the market tour, continue to Phuket Thai Cooking Academy in Kathu, just a short drive from Patong Beach. Each fully participating guest has an individual cooking station with ingredients and equipment provided.
Your chef demonstrates each recipe step by step before you prepare and cook the dishes yourself. Learn practical techniques including ingredient preparation, stir-frying, curry preparation, seasoning, and balancing traditional Thai flavors.
Choose from Thai favorites such as Pad Thai, green curry, red curry, Massaman curry, Tom Yum Goong, Som Tam, chicken with cashew nuts, mango sticky rice, deep-fried bananas, and more. Each guest can choose their own dishes, so friends, couples, and family members do not need to cook the same menu.
Throughout the class, your instructors are available to guide you, answer questions, and help you adjust each dish to your preferred level of spice and flavor.
Once your cooking is complete, sit down and enjoy the 4 dishes you prepared. You will also receive access to our digital Thai recipe collection so you can recreate your favorite dishes after returning home.
No previous cooking experience is required. The class is suitable for beginners as well as experienced home cooks and combines Thai food, local market culture, practical cooking skills, and plenty to eat.
