For my birthday I was gifted a cooking class with Um at Lamai Thai Cooking School. Best gift ever! Thai food is my all time favorite and I have always wanted to learn to cook certain dishes yet I didn’t think it was within my ability.Um is absolutely ? amazing in her presentation and information along with amazing tips of food preparation. The class was fun, agile and surprisingly easy. You’re not gonna believe how good the results taste in the end! Aroi mak mak! ? I highly recommend going to one of Um’s Thai cooking classes. Every single detail of the class was taken care of: the top quality ingredients, the tools, the design of the kitchen and cookbooks each guest gets to write notes in and take home with delicious recipes to keep. Um is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive to all guests. Within the group class I attended a couple people had food sensitivities and could not eat specific ingredients that the recipes called for. Not a problem, Um separated us into teams and everyone was able to cook their own version of the same recipe which was really nice because I love my Thai food spicy yet I understand not everyone enjoys my level of heat. ?️? Be prepared to have an amazing time! The group cooking format was seamless and so much fun. I would recommend a class to any food connoisseur, regardless of your cooking experience level. The space was beautiful with a stunning view of the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks of Lamai, extremely clean, and the food was absolutely delicious! Fantastic morning with beautiful ingredients making delicious food, good skills learnt and with lovely group of people. Um and team, thank you na ka for a lovely and unforgettable experience. ???
LOVED it! Such an amazing experience and learnt so much! Can’t wait to cook these at home – definitely one to add to your Thailand bucket list!
The teacher was so patient and knowledgeable in teaching mainly novice cooks to turn out really good Thai food.Saved on dinner as full up after 5 courses!I admired the teachers composure when for of the eight pupils announced they were vegan!! It made for a lot of omissions and a lot more Tofu for the rest of us 🙁
Great location, fantastic host, fresh ingredients, best of all you eat your creations. Family-friendly experience.
We had so much fun and enjoyed it a lot. I’m the teacher is very good and speaks very good English, food and recipes are amazing! Open air kitchen by the ocean. Clean and easy to follow.
Fabulous Thai cooking experience with Um at her home/open air kitchen. We are a family of 4 and the max number of participants is 6. Um’s communication from the start was great – we were 4 veggies so we wanted to make sure that Um could tailor the experience around that – we needn’t have worried. We chose 5 dishes – all veggie or with tofu but the other 2 participants were able to have chicken/prawns. Um collected us from our hotel and took us to her kitchen/home – right on Lamai beach overlooking the sea. You really do learn about Thai spices, herbs and cook with a view. You make 5 dishes which you choose and you learn how to chop, which order and how to combine the flavours and ingredients to make delicious food which you then eat together. We had a fab 4 hours and did our cooking session in the morning – the heat was still intense! We really loved this experience and thank you Um for teaching us all about Thai food. The kitchen and facilities were spotless and bottled water was available for us whenever we wanted.
Um made it super easy for both beginners and those with a bit of experience to learn some of Thailand’s most iconic recipes. Choosing the day’s menu was by majority vote and we ended up learning 5 courses: spring rolls, pad thai, panang curry, thom kar gai and bananas in coconut milk. After cutting, chopping, stirring and mixing we all ate the fruits of our labour while taking in the seaside view. Um provides a recipe booklet with all the recipes so we can replicate once back home. Overall, a great way to spend a lazy afternoon.
We had the best time learning how to cook five delicious dishes with Um this week! She’s a fabulous teacher, the ingredients were lovely and fresh- some even grown herself- and the location was perfect too. Thank you Um for such a fun and informative afternoon- we loved every minute of it 🙂
Um and her staff and family are awesome and beautiful people. The class is really easy-going with Um’s kind guidance. We learnt to do very delicious Thai dishes in a very relaxed environment. 100% recommended!
Excellent and fun activity for couples, singles or families. Classes are taught in English and the location is fantastic, overlooking the sea. We made Spring Rolls, Tom Tum Gai, or coconut chicken soup, plus dessert. Ouma, the owner and cooking instructor is kind, intelligent and funny. Well, well worth the time over your vacation! I will do again.
The highlight of our trip to Samui, Um will take you on a cultural journey across five courses. Your memento will be a lovely cookbook with all of the recipes you create, plus more. Views from the open-air kitchen span to the Gulf and across the Grandfather and Grandmother rocks.
This was the best thing we did on the island of Koh Samui. Um and her team were fantastic and we would go again. Her attention to detail and memory are fantastic. I highly recommend doing this class if you want authentic Thai food and learn more about their beautiful culture.
This cooking class was one of the best we’ve ever done and we’ve done a few. Our instructor has a well laid out class which provides stations for everyone so that participants are hands-on with every dish while she explains every step. The class moves at a pace that isn’t rushed, information and enjoyable allowing for questions throughout. Our instructor picked us up and dropped us back to our hotel in Koh Samui at no extra charge which was a bonus. The venue overlooks the sea and herb garden and has a fabulous village vibe. Every dish we made – and yes we chopped and cooked them all – was absolutely sensational, in fact the best massaman curry we’ve ever had and coming from Melbourne where we are spoilt with many great Thai restaurants this blew them all out of the park. There’s a reason why this cooking class in Koh Samui is rated #1 and highly recommend ! Our instructor also taught us quick hacks for making Thai dishes from scratch in a hurry by freezing sauces and marinated chicken for so that you can prepare quick meals in a hurry without fuss … you also get to keep the recipe book which has all the steps which are easy to follow.
