About Kata Thai Cooking Class

The Phuket Kata Thai Cooking Class offers an authentic Thai cooking experience, complete with homemade style recipes taught by native Thai instructors. Each participant gets their own station to cook, ensuring a hands-on experience. The class runs two sessions a day, one from 10.30 am to 1.00 pm and another from 3.30 pm to 7.30 pm. In just 3 to 3.5 hours, participants can learn to cook Thai food. The class offers a variety of dishes beyond the scheduled four menus, which can be found on their website. The instructors are accommodating and fluent in English, making it a comfortable experience for international visitors.

The hosts, Jim and Sally, are known for their hospitality. They create a wonderful atmosphere, with Jim's outgoing personality adding to the fun. Participants have praised the simplified instructions and the incredible food. The day is filled with enjoyment and learning, leaving everyone impressed. Sally's husband, who is said to be more handsome than Tom Cruise, also adds to the charm of the day.

Jim, in particular, is lauded as a fantastic host. The food is delightful, and participants learn a lot while having a great time with other guests. The class comes highly recommended for anyone looking to try their hand at Thai cooking and is often considered a highlight of their trip.

The class also includes a visit to a local market, where participants can try unique Thai food and see local vegetables. Despite the website stating that only three dishes will be cooked, participants have reported cooking up to six dishes, including Red curry soup, green curry soup, Tom Yam, Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and mango-sticky rice. The class even provides cooking attire, adding to the authentic experience.

The class is also accommodating for last-minute plans. Jim, with his charismatic personality, infuses humour into the lessons and teaches participants how to prepare the ingredients. He also caters to different spice preferences and ensures that even kids are engaged throughout the class.

The class is a must-do activity for all ages. Participants have enjoyed informative afternoon and evening sessions with Jack and Sally, which include a local market tour and the preparation of two main dishes, spring rolls, and sweet sticky rice with mango. The class ends with a nice meal with drinks, making it a fun, social, and informative session. The team is efficient and accommodating, adjusting recipes to suit dietary restrictions.

Jim's friendly, humorous, and engaging nature makes the afternoon cooking class a hit among couples. He explains the ingredients used very well and ensures that fresh ingredients are used. Participants have enjoyed the class so much that they look forward to cooking Thai dishes for their family. It's also a great bonding activity for couples.

The class is not just a learning experience but also a delicious one. Jim picks up participants from their hotel and leads a well-organised cooking class. Participants prepare dishes from scratch, including tom yum, green curry, pad-thai, and sticky mango rice. The dishes are so delicious that participants plan to cook them back home. The class comes highly recommended, with Jim's signature 'SCOOPing' adding to the fun.
