Morning group class
A half-day morning class that begins at the market and ends at your own cooking station, for travellers who want to cook and enjoy a hands-on Thai meal before lunchtime.

Morning or afternoon Thai cooking classes in Phuket Town with Chef Tony, starting at a local fresh market and ending at your own cooking station.
Why go
Each class begins at a local fresh market, where you look at the ingredients behind Thai cooking and try fruit, desserts and snacks. Then you move to a cosy kitchen, are welcomed with a drink and cook at your own station, tasting the dishes you make. You take home a recipe book to repeat the flavours.
Chef Tony grew up helping his mother in the kitchen and became passionate about traditional Thai dishes. His cooking has taken him abroad, working as a Thai chef in the United States and as a Japanese chef for a year. Now he shares that experience with guests in Phuket.

A half-day morning class that begins at the market and ends at your own cooking station, for travellers who want to cook and enjoy a hands-on Thai meal before lunchtime.
An afternoon and early evening class with the same market visit and kitchen session, handy for guests who prefer to cook later and finish with a hot dinner of their own dishes.
Each class starts with a walk through a local fresh market, where you see the ingredients used in Thai cooking, taste fruit, desserts and snacks, and glimpse daily local life.
Everyone cooks three dishes of their own choice: one soup, one curry and one stir fry, plus spring rolls or mango sticky rice, so each guest at the table cooks something different.
If you would rather cook with only your own family or friends, Tony offers a private version of the class. Ask him about timing and the number of people when you book.
Tony guides each step, explains how Thai herbs and seasonings differ and suggests substitutes for home cooking. You leave with a recipe book so you can repeat the dishes later.
