The trip from Patong took around 30 minutes with the cooking class located at a Wellness Retreat. This is not a resort by any stretch of the imagination it is a very traditional building with beautiful Thai architecture. My friend and I were the only 2 booked for the 11 am session, so got all the attention. The classes take place outside in a pavilion with plenty of fans. Still hot, but where isn't. We were stepped through 4 dishes from Menu B with all the ingredients already prepared for us and a gas burner to cook on with a wok & saucepan. The chef, Nok, and his helper were great and spoke reasonable English for conversation and instructions to be understood. They went at a really good pace for this novice and the dishes were easy to prepare. Upon completion our meals were taken to the restaurant where we were given rice and a drink and ate our creations. They were surprisingly delicious. TIP: Don't eat before going. We received our certificates and got a photo with Chef Nok before we left fat & happy. Taxi costs around 600-800 THB one way.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
