Hands on Cooking Class at Riverside Thai Cooking in Khao Lak

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves for a four-hour hands-on cooking class in Khao Lak where you'll learn to build authentic Thai dishes from scratch. Morning sessions kick off at the local market to source fresh herbs and spices with your chef, before moving to the kitchen to craft spring rolls and select from over 20 recipes—curries, stir-fries, salads, soups. Evening classes swap the market tour for mango sticky rice dessert. You'll cook, plate, and eat what you've made, taking home a recipe folder and techniques to recreate these flavours at home. Hotel transfers included.

What to expect

You'll be picked up from your Khao Lak hotel and taken to either the morning market (morning class) to browse stalls of fresh coriander, galangal, chillies, and tropical fruit, or straight to the kitchen (evening class). Your English or Thai-speaking chef walks you through curry paste-making, then you move to individual stations. Expect to chop, pound, fry, and simmer. You'll make spring rolls together, then pick one main—say green curry with chicken or papaya salad—and cook it under guidance. Afternoon classes include dessert prep. You'll plate your dishes, sit down, and eat together. No prior cooking skills needed.
