Pum Thai Cooking School is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 66 Nanai Rd, 83150, Thailand
We absolutely loved our experience here. 4 hours of cooking madness with Rosie and Nana. The food is ARROY (delicious) and the staff are so informative and patient even for a novice cook like myself. We went on a honeymoon and it was a great activity but would suit anyone with an interest in Thai cooking. It’s super simple so don’t think you’ll be out of your depth!
Lovely staff and delicious food! They give you lots of background about the spices, herbs and sauces typically used in Thai cooking. We made 4 meals and they were all very simple and delicious. You then get to keep a small cookbook. Would recommend to everyone
My wife booked this for my birthday, and what an enjoyable treat it was. The staff are lovely, welcoming us and providing a headscarf and apron we were ready to go. Started with an introduction to the Thai language and the basics of Thai cooking, then we were off upstairs to cook our first dish. All ingredients were set out and within 10 minutes we were back downstairs eating our creations. In the package we chose. You select 3 dishes each to cook out of a list of many. After this there was an introduction to the different herbs and spices used in Thai cooking, then upstairs to cook our second dish. Following that we made a curry paste and then upstairs for our last dish, using the curry paste we made earlier. If you love Thai food and want to bring the flavours home, then this is the place. Go hungry as you eat everything you cook.
Amazing day cooking four meals including a walk through the food markets. This is a definate thing to do even for the husbands lol.
OMG! I can’t believe I cooked Thai food! The place is very bright and inviting! The whole staff was friendly and you can tell they enjoy what they do. We did the lipstick one with a set menu and OMG it was delicious. Everything was laid out and prepped for us, we did a quick education of the ingredients did a little dance and smile while making the paste for the green curry, which was all of our favorites. I couldn’t believe how fast we cooked three meals and how simple all three were to make. I would come back over and over again and try more dishes and even would love to try it out as just a restaurant, if I can my food was this delicious, I can only imagine what the real professionals would taste like. I booked through Klook and it was well worth the price and was the cheapest out of all of the other options. No complaints about anything that Pum Thai has to offer. Delicious two thumbs up and a happy full stomach!
So well organised, really taught us a lot about ingredients and the condiments Thai people use. Not rushed. There was only the four of us in our group. Vegetarian options provided to all choices. We all enjoyed it and the food was amazing!Our tutor was very good and gave us a lot of helpful information and tips about cooking Thai style.
I had the best time learning to cook authentic Thai recipes! Pum and the team were on hand to give all the support and encouragement needed!I came home and recreated them and everyone loved it!
Myself and my 2 sisters always said when we come to Thailand for our dream holiday, we would really like to do an authentic Thai cooking class to learn about the thai cuisine and spices for all the different stir fry’s, fried rices, soups and curries. Pums cooking school is definitely the place for this. We had about a 15 minute drive from our hotel which to then we was greeted at the door by one of the lovely lady’s Nana. She introduced her self and was extremely friendly and asked us what we like to be called individually. She then sat us down in the restaurant and handed out bandanas tea towels and aprons with a bottle of water, then introduced us to Rose who was also as friendly and was our leader of the class as well as a man which we didn’t quite catch his name. We did the class, pums mini me which consists of choosing 2 dishes from the list provided and having 45 minutes to cook them and then you can enjoy them down in the restaurant. Even if you have 2 main dishes they provide rice to go with this within the price. The class was very good and all ingredients were provided and were very fresh. They also taught us the meaning of the names of the dishes and how to say common phrases in Thai language. The only problem we had as a whole as, we tried to book the class on several occasions over email and on the website but we was not getting any response so we asked are hotel to phone them for us. This was rectified as they have been having problems with the email for the cooking school and I was able to book it over the phone as they was able to understand English and was extremely fluent in it also. After my phone call pum reassured me and gave me a number so I could WhatsApp her and she also give me specific instructions on how to get there and was very helpful. All in all it was an amazing experience and all the team are extremely talented
Mastering Phad Thai was on my bucket list! Pums was recommended and we were not disappointed. We learnt a few dishes and feel confident going home to try these dishes. The lady even picked us up on the way because it was on the way which was really above and beyond.
A great morning learning how to cook 3 Thai dishes. Our host Nan was excellent as a teacher and made the class fun and Informative. The cooking and eating facilities were excellent. Appropriate ingredients were provided as were aprons and head coverings.Together with a recipe book.A very enjoyable experience where you get to eat all the dishes you have prepared.
