We took an evening tour which was great as there were only 4 of us so we got to choose a dish each! Chien was our head chef and he was great! Not only did he teach us how to cook the meals but also provided us with back ground of each meal or ingredient! The facilities are nice and... More

Great school! Did the morning class on April 8th start of the low season) and there were just 3 of us... makes it easier to decide which 4 dishes you want to prepare. Our Chef was Chien; a friendly happy guy who knows his stuff. We prepared the ingredients and then watched him cook them up first while we were... More

We went for the lunchtime session, which was empty so we had a private class for two. This made the course quicker and more personal and we chose what we wanted to cook. We were told the morning and evening classes are more popular due to the more favouralble weather. The teacher/chef was very polite and laid back. The dishes... More

We had an awesome time on the cooking course! The teacher was really friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely be trying out our skills back at home! Definitely recommended for couples looking for something to do, and the evening class is probably the nicest - you can cook your own dinner after a relaxing day on the beach. More

The previous comments are all correct about the group choosing four out of ten or eleven dishes. The male chef takes the mystery out of Thai cooking and leads you through it really easily. We cooked four dishes and took three away, there was no way we could eat all that food! Upon our return to the UK we went... More

Instead of doing the original class we bought (1500 bath) a private lesson from Lanta Thai Cookery school. This meant that the two of us could choose four dishes out of eight to cook togheter with the private teacher Aon. She was very helpful and learned us many "secrets" to make tasty thai food. We will recomend the Lanta thai... More

I went to Lanta Thai whilst staying on Lanta in between Christmas and New Year. The location is about 5 minutes from Long Beach and they collect and return you to your accommodation. The guy running the course was really knowledgeable and the instructions were clear, even the 8 year old who in our group had no problems. You get... More

We visited Koh Lanta in June 2011 in the low season. We stayed at Cha Da Resort and had booked a morning cooking class with Lanta Thai Cookery School to experience some of the local culture and cuisine first hand. We were picked up at the hotel in an airconned car and after a short and comfortable drive arrived at... More

This was great! I was not sure if I wanted to go to a cooking school, but I do not regret it at all! It was fun to learn about the different herbs and spices, and why the Thai people use them in the dishes. We learned how to prep dishes and then cook them. They were so easy to... More
