Ethical elephant care, Thai cooking, lunch and a waterfall visit make this a thoughtful seven-hour Khao Lak day trip from Phuket.

“This was an amazing day - the transfer from our hotel in patong was a long journey but totally worth it and a much better experience than going to other sanctuaries which would have been closer to us. Everything was completely ethical, they are rescue elephants and you get to see them just being themselves and doing the things they enjoy. Our guide (unfortunately I can’t remember his name) was amazing. He had only worked at this particular sanctuary for 7 days but had worked with elephants for over 10 years, he spoke great English and was happy to answer any questions we had about the animals and took good…”

“Rosa is a great person for this activity - very knowledgeable about the ingredients of Thai cooking, very witty - humorously keeping us all focussed - an excellent chef, to boot. Pick up was a little late due to unpreventable circumstances so we were late in starting. The market visit was most enjoyable and enlightening. We picked up our ingredients for the day so everything was very fresh. A quick transfer took us to the kitchen. It was a little way of the beaten track somewhere in the Chalong area(?). The kitchen is exceptionally clean. It is split into two areas, one for food preparation, which is air-conditioned and then…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 249 reviews · 270 minutes - 5 hours · from $73

Learn to cook three Thai dishes with Chef Wooddy, shop a local market, tour his garden, and enjoy hotel transfers from Phuket beaches.

“An amazing cooking class! We went for the afternoon class and 3 dishes. I am gluten free and wooddy was very accommodating! We cooked all meals separately. The market was quieter in the afternoon, so would have preferred to do this in the morning but overall the recipes were incredible! The best food I tasted in Thailand and I cannot wait to try the recipes at home! The cooking class was at Wooddys home which made it more authentic and had a tour around his garden. I will be recommending this to everyone who visits Phuket! I will be going to the morning class next time.”
