About Jungle Kitchen

The Jungle Kitchen is a unique culinary destination that offers a cooking school experience reminiscent of a time when food was truly handmade. The cooking process is done entirely with charcoal, using traditional methods and local ingredients whenever possible. The result is a delightful array of Thai dishes, prepared in a jungle kitchen nestled within expansive gardens, surrounded by the serenity of nature. The occasional trumpeting of elephants from the neighboring sanctuary adds to the charm of the experience.

The immersive and authentic experience has been enjoyed by many, with some visitors even returning for a second time. The food is harvested from the Jungle Kitchen's own farm and garden, which visitors are welcome to explore. The experience is led by Linn, with her husband Tom providing additional cultural and historical insights. This unique experience is highly recommended for anyone visiting Koh Samui.

The Jungle Kitchen is not just a cooking class, but a unique experience that should be on every traveler's bucket list when visiting Samui. The beautiful jungle setting, coupled with the opportunity to cook with fresh ingredients straight from the garden, makes it an unforgettable day.

Visitors have praised the wonderful afternoons spent at Chill Hill, where they cooked delicious food under the guidance of Linn and Tom. The menu includes dishes like pad Thai, fish in curry sauce, and sticky rice with mango. The cooking class comes highly recommended, with visitors assuring that it's an experience not to be regretted.

The Jungle Kitchen also offers a pick-up service from local hotels. After a scenic drive up the mountain, visitors are welcomed with fresh mango juice at the bar associated with the Jungle Kitchen. The menu includes dishes like red curry with grilled duck, tamarind prawns, and pad Thai. The hosts are very considerate of dietary restrictions, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the meal without worry. Visitors are allowed to take home leftovers, souvenir coconut bowls, and the recipes, although replicating the dishes at home without the garden fresh ingredients might be a challenge.

The Jungle Kitchen is also known for its exceptional hospitality. When a visitor's mother had a fall and broke her wrist, the hosts were very accommodating, allowing them to rearrange their day at short notice. Despite not being able to participate in the cooking, the mother was made to feel very welcome and was well taken care of. The beautiful setting of the exotic kitchen garden and the delicious food make the whole experience very special.

Linn and Tom's Thai cooking experience is a haven for home foodies. Linn's expertise in explaining the cooking process and Tom's contribution to the overall experience have earned them high praise. The experience also provides great photo opportunities to remember the day.

The Jungle Kitchen offers a memorable evening of fun, from choosing the menu to enjoying the meals. Linn's knowledge and experience make her a true Master Chef. The Jungle Kitchen is highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly magical Thai cooking experience when visiting Koh Samui.
