Why go
About Blue Elephant Cooking School Phuket
Blue Elephant is a well-established Thai heritage restaurant and cooking school brand, founded by Master Chef Nooror, with restaurants in Bangkok, Phuket, Malta and Copenhagen. The Phuket branch is in a Sino-Portuguese palace, one of the island's most striking buildings, where the cooking classes and the restaurant share the same historic setting.
In the cooking classes, guests learn to prepare Thai dishes guided by Chef Nooror's expert team, while discovering the traditions behind each recipe. Classes can be booked as a group or arranged as an exclusive private session. The brand also sells its own curry pastes, sauces and cooking sets for use at home.
