We had a wonderful cooking class with our instructor Naan. From meet up to the last dish we had such a fun time learning about Thai dishes and making new friends. The host made us feel immediately at ease and brought such joy and good energy to the class. This was one of the best hosted travel experiences I’ve had so far. Make sure to come hungry! We started with a market tour and proceeded to the school where the staff prepared all the ingredients for us. We were able to ask questions and cook our own dishes. It all felt effortless and everything tasted delicious. Thank you for the lovely class!

The singing and dancing performance was better than expected, the costumes were beautiful, the interaction between the performers and the audience and the funny plot made the atmosphere more joyful.

The program is very well done. Everyone who runs the program is kind and teaches with great passion. The cooking school was also comfortable and nice. The process of explaining the food, cooking, and eating was all well prepared. And it was nice that I could adjust the taste to my liking. It was the most delicious Tom Yum Kung Pad Thai Red Curry in my life. Thai food is complex and very delicate. I do not recommend going to the market on very hot days! I think going to the market and coming back was the hardest part.

I loved it here! I loved how classy it was, the reasonable price, the value for the money was insane! The pool area was gorgeous and I think what made it even better was that they didn't allow food or drinks or smoking. The view from my room was just outstanding, And my room was absolutely spotless! I loved the short walk to the MRT station, and it was walking distance to random markets and street food.

The MTR collection is very convenient, the market is interested in shopping, cooking is your own portion, it turns out I can cook delicious food, not burnt. Very good experience.
