This is a really good introductory course for beginners to Thai cuisine. You learn a good deal about the five dishes with clear instructions and guidance. The facilities are excellent and you are given a very solid grounding in some of the basic principles needed to cook good Thai food. It is also good that the classes are kept small.... More

We had one of the best holiday experiences so far at the Thai Orchid Cookery School. The whole day was wonderful: the setting, the food, the staff, the ambience, everything. The staff were extremely friendly and offered good guidance and suggestions. Can't recommend this place enough. Go, go, go!!

We have just returned from the day at the orchid cookery course and it was absolutely brilliant. The food was amazing and even better that we made it ourselves with plenty of help from A and kong. Who made it all very easy to understand and also taught us a lot about the thai foods. A and Kong were two... More

What a fantastic cooking experience. You start with a tour of the local market which is very interesting. You then head back to the school and start the most amazing afternoon learning to cook Thai properly from scratch. I cooked Spring Rolls a Hot and Spicy Soup followed by Green Thai Curry and Pad Thai Noodles. Round that off with... More

Came on my own for the day cookery course, my partner opted out! Just learnt so much. Truly talented Thai cooks lead you gently through a fun and educational experience. Going to the market, to source ingredients added a fantastic dimension. Made you realise how over priced and ripped off we are in Australia! The range and quality of ingredients... More

My niece and I have been traveling in Thailand with our final destination being Chiang Mai. We had heard wonderful things about this cooking class from where we come from in Vancouver, Canada. I have always enjoyed cooking international types of cuisine having taken many cooking courses throughout my long career as a flight attendant traveling mostly to SE Asia... More

We really enjoyed our time at the Thai Orchid Cookery School. The chef, kong, was really good and we learned to cook 5 typical thai dishes. The place is really clean, and well organised with a classroom for the lesson and then the cooking area for you to cook. A great experience that even our 7 year old was able... More

We were really pleased we went with this choice of cooking schools. We looked at many options and chose this one off of all the other reviews. They were not wrong: it was a great experience. Our instructors, Kong and A (husband and wife) helped us prepare 5 courses of delicious Thai food as well as took us to the... More

Thai Orchid (run by husband and wife team, Kong and A) was a classy act and highly recommended. The class was about 10 or 12 people, with little to no experience cooking Thai food, but by the end we were all experts! Everyone gets their own wok burner with all the utensils and equipment. Kong and A are excellent teachers... More
