Come and cook delicious Thai food with Mon! We run classes on request. This is the number 1 Thai cooking class on Koh Lanta according to Tripadvisor and we have won the Traveller's Choice for many consecutive years. We cook 1 curry from scratch and 2 main dishes and then we have mango sticky rice for dessert. We start at 11, finish at 4 pm and offer a free pick up from your hotel. Your host is Mon, the charismatic chef full of energy, joy and knowledge.

We cooked withTak,, she was very knowledgeable, patient and good fun. It was a great group of people, and we were by far the eldest there. We learnt a lot about Thai ingredients, we went away with recipes which I feel more confident in cooking. Thank you so much we had great fun, and would thoroughly recommend doing this. Oh go hungry, you get lots of food.

During our stay at Koh Lanta we also had the pleasure of taking part in one of the cooking classes. Our instructor Tak (I have no idea if this is the correct spelling. Sorry, if it is not.) took us on a culinary journey for a day to discover and learn some of Thailand's national dishes. As Mon is planing to retiere Tak will be most likely taking over the cooking classes.
She also took the time to answer all our questions. As she had stayed in the Netherlands in the past, she also had many helpful tips as to what products to get in Europe and what to replace with what.
We each cooked 3 dishes throughout the day, that we got to choose beforehand. They each tasted nom nom nom delicious!
We would highly recommend the cooking classes, especially if you are interested in broadening your cooking horizon!

What a great fun and informative hands on day. Mon just makes you at ease the minute you arrive at cooking school. Everything was fully explained and working at your pace. We got to eat all four dishes we cooked and had a great time, meeting like minded people from around the world. I would highly recommend this class and we have done several in both Thailand and across Asia

Fantastic fun! Cooking with Taki… her team did not stop working behind the scenes. My 12 yr old son loved it! He has ADHD and can struggle to engage but not here. It was fun supportive and relaxed… super clean as well. We all produced lovely dishes. If you come to Koh Lanta you should book this

Fabulous day and learned so much in a really fun way. Group of 14 people and all learned together in a beautiful setting under the watchful eye of Mon. You will choose and prepare four different dishes that you will also eat (my choice was a noodle dish, a Thai curry, a stir fry and then we all prepared mango sticky rice). The day flies by and at the end you get a link to all recipes so you can take your new found “expertise” to keep cooking this delicious food at home. Thank you Mon and Maayan and your team for a wonderful day. If you’re on Koh Lanta and are keen to learn more about some of the wonderful food then don’t hesitate to reserve a session here!

First impressions were on arrival everything clean and hygienic. Greeting warm, friendly and put everyone at ease.
Mon was an excellent tutor and made it all fun. Tak was just as great and worked well with Mon.
We learnt so much about the the different dishes and plants used - amazing. Good hygiene practice throughout the whole day.
Would recommend this day to everyone and it has been one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand.

This was by far the best Thai cookery course we have done. You are able to choose what you wanted to cook from a large selection of dishes.
So much fun with daki and moss - including a warm up exercise 😀
Fantastic value and lovely team - free pick up from your hotel

My wife really wanted to do a cooking course here. She found cooking with mon woth great review so we booked it.
From a guys point of view.... It wasn't my cup of tea to do a cooking course... I booked it to keep the wife happy.
I AM SO GLAD I DID!!!!!!!!!
We had moss teach us. (Mon came and said hello and welcomed us) We had a small group of 5, so very nice as it was so intimate. Moss and the others worked so hard to show us and teach us.
Moss is amazing. I felt like I went there to learn cooking but came away having seen a friend I hadn't seen in a while.
There are other cooking classes... please choose this one.
My wife and I had such a laugh and learned so much.
My wife is the chef, not me, so no experience is needed at all.

We just had the best day and one of the highlights of our holiday. The staff are amazing (Moz and Tak), they are so vibrant and supportive! The day was fun from start to finish, we learned to cook wonderful food ( and eat it) but had so much fun doing it! The friendliness and energy of the staff, immediately gets you to bind together as a group with the others , just brilliant!

Just a great course. Booked at short notice and very straightforward. Our teacher, “Tak”, instructed us about each ingredient and where it came from. She answered each question with expertise. The cooking was fun and tasted very good. Thanks for the great afternoon!

Hello,
Can you learn how to cook pad thai and mango sticks rice in your lessons? What are the prices of the course and do I need to sign up earlier?
Greetings,
Anna

Hey Anna,
I think you contacted me already. For future reference, the answer is yes, yes and yes! The price of the course is 1600 baht pp. Looking forward to our class together (with your favorites Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice).
