What to look for in a Thai Cooking Class in Phuket?

Before we get into the best Thai cooking schools in Phuket, lets quickly cover what you need to look for. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a cooking school:

Authenticity and Types of Dish

Look for a school that offers traditional Thai cooking techniques and uses local ingredients. Usually, the school will have a menu where you can select a few Thai dishes; usually one appetizer, one main and a dessert.

If it has Thai curries, you’re on to a winner because these are no ordinary curries. If it’s a simply fried rice, well, this is a Thai dish, but it’s something you can easily find a recipe for online at home.

Reputation

Check the school’s reviews online and ask for recommendations from your accommodation or other travelers who have attended the school.

You can browse Facebook groups, look on Internet forums, or ask an expat if you’re lucky to know any.

One of the best things about booking a cooking class through a third-party provider such as Get Your Guide or Viator is that you can read reviews from previous travelers and get an idea of the experience.

Class size

Consider the class size and make sure that it is small enough to allow for personalized attention from the instructor.

If there’s 20 in the room, the likelihood is the teacher won’t have time to help you much.

If there’s only a maximum of 6-8 people, then you can get a more personal experience.
