Krabi Thai Cooking Class: Learn 7 Dishes Hands-On

Pound curry paste and steam jasmine rice, then walk out with new skills and a full stomach

A 4-hour hands-on cooking class in Krabi where you learn to make 7 Thai dishes from a local chef, choosing from curries, soups, stir-fries, salads and desserts. You pound your own curry paste, steam rice, and craft mango sticky rice while the chef guides you step by step. The class includes free hotel pickup from Krabi Town or Ao Nang, a recipe book, and a certificate.

The experience

Seven dishes means you're building real skills, not watching a demo. You'll choose which ones matter to you (green curry, tom yum, pad Thai, papaya salad, mango sticky rice), and make each one from the ground up. The chef walks you through every step, but you're the one pounding the curry paste, stirring the wok, and tasting as you go. Morning, afternoon, and evening classes fit different schedules, and the school picks you up from your hotel in Krabi Town or Ao Nang at no extra charge.

The menu spans six categories: curry pastes you grind yourself; chicken curries in three styles; soups hot enough to wake you up; stir-fried dishes like pad Thai and cashew chicken; fresh salads; and desserts built around mango sticky rice. You leave with a recipe book so you can cook these at home, a certificate, and the muscle memory of having done it once already. The class welcomes all skill levels: total beginners and home cooks alike.
