Great Thai cooking Class

Great experience and a Lovely chef/hostess and a small group of keen pupils. I’d recommend skipping breakfast and lunch as there’s lots of lovely food to cook and sample. Fabulous way to spend an afternoon learning to cook some classic Thai dishes- highly recommend.

Great experience but overpriced

Highly enjoyable half day spent cooking 5 different Thai dishes & learning about the ingredients. The food was delicious & best of all you get to eat it & get a file to keep with the recipes in it. There were 8 of us & we found it very interesting, In spite of this, at over £60 a person it is overpriced. Another gripe was we got an email 2 days before, confirming the booking, then received another just 3 hours later stating our booking would have to be rescheduled (we booked it 2 months ago!) due to over subscription and offering us 2 alternative dates & times. Fortunately, we were able to make one of these dates so didn’t have to cancel. We asked when we emailed, what had happened & weren’t given a response. So thankful we didn’t miss out!

Operator response

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cooking experience, learned about Thai ingredients, and found the dishes delicious. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the late rescheduling notice and for not responding to your follow-up email as we should have. This is certainly not the level of communication we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly given that you booked well in advance. Your comments have been noted, and we will use them to improve our booking and communication process. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing to join us. We are very grateful that you were able to attend and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Enjoyable Thai cooking experience

Pickup was timely. Cooking school was a breezy open air kitchen with ocean views. All ingredients were fresh with lots of hands on experience to prep ingredients , cook dishes and taste final product. Owner/ chef ( apologies as I do not recall her name) was patient , knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. A take home recipe book was included . It outlines dishes prepared in class along with many others on the morning/afternoon menus. Highly recommend this experience.

Fantastic cooking class, great experience! A must do!!

This cooking class was absolutely fabulous!!! The owner and cook, Om, is a fantastic teacher. She was shy about her English, but she speaks English so well!!! Her home-made cookbook is great. We loved everything about it. You MUST take this cooking class. A truly fabulous experience in a lovely location. Right near the water. Thank you Om. We had a truly beautiful experience with you 🙏♥️🥰

AMAZING VIEWS AND TASTY THAI DISHES

The Lamai Cooking class was amazing and the meals that we made were so fresh and tasty! Our wonderful Host was very clear and spoke excellent English. The location was also fabulous with fresh sea air and views of the Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks. Cannot recommend this family owned business any higher.

Just book it :)

So thankful for the amazing experience with Oom! My fiancee and I went for my birthday and we had the best time. We loved Oom’s expert advice, recommendations of how to recreate the meals at home and very high level of organization from picking us up from our resort to recommending the perfect way to cut everything. Thank you so much for making our holiday memorable xx
