👨‍🍳 No experience needed

Koh Lanta Cooking Class is the best cultural activity when you want a break from the beach in Krabi. Unlike touristy classes in Bangkok where you cook in a big hall, our program starts at real Khlong Dao Fresh Market with your chef, touch and smell lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, then cook in a small open-air kitchen with sea breeze. Max 8 people, so chef teaches you one by one. You cook 4 dishes yourself and eat what you cook. We give you recipe book to take home.

This authentic experience is run by a local Lanta family who has been cooking for 20 years in Old Town. Our kitchen is open-air with a view of mangroves and limestone hills. You will learn why real Tom Yum must use fresh galangal not powder, according to Thai cuisine traditions. We include free hotel pickup from all beaches in Koh Lanta and you can combine the morning with our Fishing Tour for a full local day. Learn more about Thai ingredients from Tourism Authority of Thailand. The whole experience is designed for beginners.

🌴 Why Koh Lanta Cooking Class is Special?

Koh Lanta is still a fishing island, not a city. Our ingredients come from fishermen in the morning and organic farms behind the village. You will learn why real green curry must pound chili yourself, why mango sticky rice needs fresh coconut milk. Our chef is a local Lanta lady who cooked for her family for 20 years, not a hotel chef. She will tell you stories about each dish and the island life.

The highlight is Market Tour + Eat Your Own Food. You go to market at 9 AM when locals buy, see how they bargain, taste Thai snacks. After cooking, you sit together with new friends, eat 4 dishes you made, with rice and fresh fruits. Best souvenir is the skill, not a T-shirt.
