Top Thailand Dining Experiences

We spent 3 weeks in Asia and this was literally the highlight of the entire trip for our teenagers. You get a tour of all the different plants you'll be using in the dishes you'll be eating, and then make several dishes that then all taste amazing.It does take a bit until you actually eat, but the area you'll be cooking in is gorgeous and it was so much fun. Made some red duck curry, fried chicken, fish, and Pad Kra Pao. And get the recipes afterwards. Water is free and beers were 100 baht a bottle while you cook.So if you're looking for a cooking class on Koh Samui then I'd highly recommend it. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

Amazing cooking class, started with a visit to the vegetable garden, then moved to start the dishes preparation . Each person had a station and prepared the same dish for himself. The pace was very good, and Tom and Lin were great with explaining the whole journey. The food was delicious. Getting there was also easy as they offer help with transport to and from the location of the cooking class.

So much fun! Everything was neatly organized and easy to understand. The host and his wife were super friendly and talked us through all the dishes. The food also tasted really good, we were able to modify all spice levels.

The cooking was a memorable experience. Young was patient, through and very knowledgeable. Well prepared and ready! The pace was just right and the conversations were colorful and detailed regarding the various Thai region cuisines.

This is such a peaceful day out. Cycling through the countryside, stopping for snacks at a local market. We finished our bike ride by the river & transitioned to kayaks. We were given a choice of single or double kayaks. We loved watching the bird life as we drifted along the river. Lunch was excellent. Both bikes & kayaks were well maintained. Our guide was fun & informative. I would recommend this day out.

Great all round experience. However the transportation was not air conditioned and we sat in the back of a covered pick up. I enjoyed this but my partner was not so keen

A lovely evening, nice tour of the garden and home grown produce. Lin was a great cook and teacher, she explained what and why the ingredients were being used, showed us the techniques for preparing everything, and explained the traditional cooking methods we were using. We made three delicious dishes and enjoyed sitting down to eat them after a very hot few hours cooking. Yum!!

What a great experience. Very informative and delicious food. You will feel like a MasterChef. Tom and his wife are lovely hosts and great photographers also.

Young was a very gracious host and very knowledgeable with Thai food and customs. If you want a good meal and a good time this is for you.

The group elected to not ride bikes but to go kayaking. The guides were personable and attentive. We spent a lot of time laughing.

If you are looking to get out and about in the countryside outside of Chiang Mai, this is a great option. Not too strenuous, but you are outside all day. Our guides Golf (his dad's favorite sport, as he told us) and K took good care of us. My wife had broken her wrist in a bike crash several months ago,and this was her first time back on a bike - and they were very attentive to her (she was fine; enjoyed it once she had ridden a bit). The temple visit before the biking was enjoyable as it was less crowded than the temples in town. Seeing the farm fields by bike was also a nice part of the day, especially if you are into cooking and eating Thai food - we saw many of the items that were part of our meals during our stay! The transition to the kayak part of the trip was very efficient, and the kayaking itself was extremely easy - you are floating with the current, just needing to steer from time to time. And the meal at the end was likewise right there when we got off the river. The only constructive criticism I would offer is that we should either have brought something to eat (water was provided) as the market we stopped at was closed that day, or the company should have some back-up food to offer. Overall, though, one of the best days of our trip!

I am no cook but I love Thai food and the evening spent at the Jungle Kitchen was amazing in many ways, firstly what a wonderful setting with great views, the hosts Tom and Lin amazing the pair of them so welcoming, Tom introduced us to the gardens full of ingredients, Lin and her team introduced us to the world of cooking Thai even the experienced cooks in attendance would have gone home learning something from her, personally I left feeling as if I can cook but most importantly I had a great night in great company, Thank you to every one at Jungle Kitchen.

Our evening at Tom and Lin’s home and the home of the Jungle Kitchen and organic garden was worth every penny we spent on this excursion. Tom is a wonderful host and world traveller, Lin a patient, gifted chef in her own right. Their kitchen is spectacular, the cooking course is clear, (very) organized and you really get a feel of the authentic organic nature of the place both in the creating and preparing the meal from beginning to end. The ingredients for the meal are mostly from their organic, sustainable garden and/or farm. The difference from other cooking classes is the location and the understanding of authentic Thai preparation and cooking. Cooking on open flame while looking over the jungle at the ocean is unforgettable. The rock bar, lol! So great! We highly recommend this experience, you will not regret it. You will make some fantastic meals, meet really interesting and cool people, both quantity to take home and quality and taste that will not be forgotten. Thank you Tom and Lin, we are grateful for the experience and feel privileged to have enjoyed your beautiful home and kitchen, thank you. Keep living the dream, what you’re doing is really quite something. We will remember Tom, Lin and their home for many years to come as we talk about our adventures to Thailand. Tessa and Will. 🙏🌷🌴✨

We had a fun evening touring the garden and learning Thai recipes. The food was one of the best we had in our time in Thailand. We made curry paste from scratch which was very interesting. Come hungry as there was plenty of good! Tom and Lynn were wonderful hosts. We would highly recommend if you are visiting Koh Samui!

I don't often post reviews, but this was truly an exceptional experience! Lin is an incredible Thai chef and we really enjoyed cooking with her in the beautiful outdoor kitchen with amazing views. The food was absolutely amazing and it made for an unforgettable evening. Her partner Tom arranged transport, showed us around the grounds/garden, took great photos/videos and entertained us throughout the evening. They were very accommodating when we needed to make a change last minute and even let us make menu requests. If you do only one cooking class while in Thailand - this is the one!

We loved our experience at the jungle cooking class! The property is gorgeous and easy to get to—Tom and his partner are so welcoming and helpful throughout the recipes so skill level doesn’t matter and the food ended up delicious. They were also super generous on transportation to and from as it can be difficult on the island. It was sweet to watch the generosity to a couple in our group who brought an infant and a toddler by keeping them occupied and offering up a sleeping pad for him to rest on. Also the pictures they captured of us are 10/10 and probably will be included in our Christmas card! Thanks for hosting us and highly recommending not thinking twice about signing up for this tour, you won’t want to miss it.
