Had a really great time at the cooking class - all staff were very friendly and was a wonderful learning experience! Delicious food! Will definitely be making the dishes at home!
It was amazing everyone was wonderful THE BEST PART OF MY TRIP
Highly recommend. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was a great class to take for all ages.
I booked the Thai cooking class by VJ Wednesday afternoon session w/o market tour as I am already experienced with the ingredients -otherwise I would definitely recommend the market tour. Our menu included Tom Yum Gung, Pad Thai, Massaman Curry and Mango sticky rice. What should I say - it was an absolute blast. We cooked all dishes from scratch and it tasted better than all restaurants I ate during my 3 weeks trip to Phuket. All staff was so friendly and also passionate about about and experienced in cooking. The ~3 hrs went by in a blink of an eye and everybody was having such a good time. We also could take the leftovers with us, so I could enjoy it even the day after again. The cooking class is totally worth the price (~2.000 baht) as you get to prepare and enjoy 4 full courses and get picked up in your hotel (for free in Karon and Kata). If I return to Phuket I definitely will book another class with VJ. The class was also perfect for in-experienced participants as everything is very well explained in perfect English and those who need a bit more help get the attention of the instructors needed. Spicy levels could be adapted from non spicy at all to “phet suk suk” for those who are looking for the extreme. In our class everybody was happy. VJ’s cooking class exists for now 15 years already, which is also proof for customer satisfaction - If you’re looking for an authentic cooking experience this is an absolute must do.
We did an evening cooking class with Gigi as our instructor. She was a fantastic instructor and gave us very clear and kind instructions. The food as absolutely delicious. 100% recommend this class to those who want to learn how to cook Thai food.
It was very good and we ate so much food! Lots of water was provided and even a coke! Was also very accommodating for my group member's gluten allergy.
It was a wonderful experience! The host and the cooking assistants were friendly and efficient, and the food was absolutely delicious. The class was a great way to wrap up my Thailand visit! The soup was my favorite dish, and I’m looking forward to making it!
Great time and experience. Jane and wawa were great teachers given my experience is 2 minute nood̄les
A fantastic and well organised cooking class. Spotless kitchen, fresh ingredients and all the meals we cooked were delicious. My daughter and I also did the market tour at the beginning of the class which we found interesting. Our host Gigi and staff were very professional. We loved it and would highly recommend!
So much fun and we really enjoyed eating what we made. Way better than restaurants. The instructions were clear and so much fun. Would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to cook
