Great experience

I gained a lot of great information in a hands-on class. I am grateful that the instructor held the class despite me being the only student that day. The instructor was very patient with my mistakes and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this class.

Unforgettable experience

It was an amazing session with the lady. Lots of patience while carving with ease and grace. Can't recall the Master's name. She also prepared a dessert made of banana and sticky rice, it was so warm that I will never forget the flavour. I am currently staying in Portugal and would be interested in inviting the Master to conduct the workshop here, in Lisbon. The Master mentioned that she used to have workshops around Europe. Unfortunately, I can't find her phone number. Could you please contact me at +85363001958. Thank you for the amazing workshop!

Operator response

Thank you very much for attending our class and we are very happy to you enjoyed the class. Wan would love to come to Portugal and give classes there. The number you left does not seem to connect and it is a number in Macao. Please visit our website https://www.siamcarvingacademy.com We also use WhatsApp +66 82 200 1197 Wan & Larry

Wan was very nice and...

Wan was very nice and patient instructor. My problem was that I sent the operator a note that I was waiting where I was told to wait and no one came or responded to my message to the operator. I did a chat with Viator and the operator didn’t answer the phone. I was ready to go back to the hotel but the chat gentleman said that they finally responded. But they refused to meet me and I had no name or address. I received a text where to go AFTER Wan finally came. After I left, I got a nasty message from the operator asking why people don’t know where to go when they book the class. Really? Make it clear where you are. I can honestly say I would not have found it if Wan hadn’t come. Cannot recommend.

Operator response

Sorry about the confusion, however these types of things happen sometimes by accident. The meeting place was accidently put in as the MRT station by mistake and we changed it to our school address.

Enjoyable carving

Wan is a very experienced carver. It’s a shame we only signed up to a half day class as I would have liked to learn more but I had a good experience

Operator response

We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the class and would love to see some of your carvings in the future.

You need to take this class if you love food

This class will set up apart from other chefs. All the tools and information you need to make exquisite decorations from vegetables (tomato, cucumber, radishes, pumpkin, etc) and fruit you will learn. The teacher is so patient and creative. She never stopped creating new designs and never got tired of me constantly needing a lot of instruction. Even if you are a home cook this is a great fun way to spend the afternoon and learn a skill. If you are a professional chef this knowledge will set you apart from other chefs. A knife and lunch is included.

A great way to learn food-presentational skills

I did the full day fruit carving class. We mainly focused on forming flower-, petal- and leaf shapes from tomatoes, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, and pumpkins. I think this would be a great course for food professionals like caterers and chefs, and anyone looking to up his or her presentational skills. Be warned: fruit and vegetable carving is a LOT harder than it looks, and you'll be grateful for Khun Wan's guidance.

Operator response

It is great to hear that you were very pleased and wish we had more time with you.

Real experience of learning Thai traditional carving

First I would like to thank again to Wan for her patience to teach me. 3 days' basic course was so intense. I learned so much about Thai traditional carving and it is just a beginning. I felt the depth of this culture. Wan is an amazing teacher and artist. I am very pleased to have met Wan and have seen Wan's knife techniques. Elegant and very high artistic skill.

Operator response

I am happy to hear that you were very pleased. It would be great seeing you again in the future. Thank you for the review as it is greatly appreciated.

Very much a hands on experience

Wan is a very patient teacher and over the full day course we achieved a lot more than I had expected to do with no experience - watching her work is amazing but she can also give you the skills in one day to make beautiful pieces for decorating home dishes or preparing meals for others in a home situation even if you are a home cook . Wan and her husband Larry invited me into their rooftop home and provided a delicious lunch for the break. This was one of the most hands on food activities I have done.

Sorry for the late response, but better late than never. We are both thrilled to hear that your class was more than you had expected and everything else was fine. It would be our pleasure teaching you again in the future if you make it back to Bangkok.
