Private Cooking Classes in Thailand: Our 4 Favourites

1.Khao Sok: Private Bamboo Rafting & Jungle Cooking Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 70 reviews · 4 hours · from $72Our pick

A peaceful Khao Sok bamboo rafting trip with cave coffee, monkeys, organic gardening, and a hands-on Thai cooking class.

“We had our own private cooking class with our wonderful instructors: Kip, yu, and pa! They showed us the ingredients and explained how the different items were only from this region of Thailand. They taught us how to cook rice & bbq chicken over a fire and make tom Kha guy soup over coals. We learned about the turmeric root that was a natural dye and flavored the dishes beautifully. This was a wonderful addition to our Thailand trip and the bamboo canoe ride through the jungle with tea under the kho soak rocks really made it all an enjoyable experience! Highly suggest!”
