This was one of the best experiences that I have had in Thailand! I love the spirit of the chef and her beautiful family! We made some delicious food and laughed the whole time. She picked us up that morning, then we went to the local market and picked up our fresh ingredients. We then headed to the main kitchen where she had a garden in front of her house where we pick fresh ingredients once all of the prep was done we proceeded to cook. The food was so delicious and she was so informative I will definitely book her every time I visit Phuket!!!!! 🙏🏽🤗💪🏾🇹🇭

Dawn_B, May 2023

Our teacher was wonderful.She was fun, funny and had great recipes.I cannot wait to make these at home.I highly recommend this class!

Fantastic cooking school

Stacey_G, Oct 2022

Way back in 2019, we had done the dinner menu with Kaan. We wanted to return and opted for the Friday lunch menu this time. From shopping at the market, so browsing through Kahn’s home herb garden, this is a must do if you are interested in learning about Thai cuisine. It’s the little tricks that make the flavour and Kaan is an expert at passing on that knowledge. Can’t wait to come back and try a Tuesday menu.

Great experience!

We were picked up from our resort and taken to a vibrant market and taught about the common ingredients in Thai cooking. Then we went to a small shop where they explained the purpose of each ingredient. After prepping all the food we went to the kitchen to cook 3 traditional Thai dishes. The food was delicious

From start to finish Khan made this a fun class! Going to the market to shop for the food and preparing it on your own individual wok was enjoyable and easy! I'd highly recommend this class to everyone! Maureen

Joel K, June 2018

We had a wonderful time learning how to make home made Thai dishes. Karn arranged for transportation from our hotel in Kamala. She met us at a local market and showed us how to select the produce for our class. She emphasizes making the cooking easy on yourself and adjusting the flavors to your liking. She's a great host/cook/teacher and we had a lot of fun. We made green curry learned how to make the paste which is one of the main reasons I selected Karn's class, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut sauce. All were awesome and can't wait to make these at home.

The key is in the name Easy Thai...

David N, Apr 2018

The key is in the name Easy Thai Cooking, and it's clear that the intent is to ensure you can make the dishes again once you get home. The morning starts in the local market where we got shown how to select the fresh ingredients and honestly what some of them were. Then a series of demo's then practice on preparation for each of 4 dishes, followed by cooking demo then practice. The other piece of wisdom was You Eat What You Cook, So Adjust as you Want. One other thing I really liked is that a few times were were explained what the traditional way was to prepare something, and then told what the easy way was with contemporary kitchen equipment. We made spring rolls, pad-thai, Green Curry and mango sticky rice.This was a fun activity for both my wife a capable cook, and me I'll just say, less skilled, so anyone can do this and enjoy themselves.

Fabulous experience. Kaan picked...

Colin M, Mar 2018

Fabulous experience. Kaan picked us up from our hotel in Karon Beach in her lovely car and drove us to her spotlessly clean cooking school. We were the only two people for that particular class. We stopped along the way to buy fresh ingredients from a local market and also fresh coconut milk from a little factory. We cooked Tom Yum soup, green curry making the curry paste from scratch, pad thai our favourite! and sticky rice with mango. Kaan was just so lovely, very helpful and had a great sense of humour. We ate our dishes for lunch and had the pleasure of sharing them with a couple of members of her family who were visiting. After the class Kaan drove us to Patong and dropped us at the shopping mall which was an extra bonus. A really fabulous experience and the highlight of our trip to Phuket. Highly recommended to travellers of all ages - we are both in our 70s!!

This was such an amazing experience...

Rachel_S, Mar 2018

This was such an amazing experience. We were the only 2 people on this tour and our guide still ran the tour. She was absolutely fantastic with a private pickup from our hotel and then stops at two local markets to purchase all of the ingredients for our cooking. Then we proceeded to her kitchen where she provided bottled water, a recipe book which we were able to take home with us, along with hands on instructions on how to make several authentic Thai dishes. The food we made was absolutely amazing and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. To top things off our guide even had to go boxes ready so we could take our leftovers of yummy Thai food back to our hotel to enjoy over the next few days. This was an absolutely phenomenal tour and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket.

I would highly recommend this tour...

Jordan_I, Mar 2018

I would highly recommend this tour!! The lady who delivered the class took us around the local shops for ingredients and also plucked some plants directly from her garden!! She made the course fun, friendly and unforgettable. The portions were great, the kitchen was clean and the food was amazing!

Kam was very hospitable and warm...

Kam was very hospitable and warm. Her green curry was the best I have ever tasted. before that, I have never liked green curry. her mango sticky rice was pretty good too. it was a totally enjoyable experience!.
