Hotel round-trip transfer

Hotel pickup from Khok Kloi & Thai Muang Beach

The Thai cooking class starts at the local Khao Lak market. Here you will choose the ingredients for your Thai dishes, learn about Thai herbs and spices and catch a glimpse of the daily hustle and bustle of local market life. It's time to prepare and cook your dishes. This is where the fun really begins. The cooking chef Apple will teach you how to prepare your ingredients the Thai way. Starting with basic curry pastes and Thai seasonings, then cooking techniques before finally creating your impressive Thai meal. After learning to cook your Thai food there is one more important step in creating a Thai meal to impress your friends. You need to present it in an appetising manner and you will even learn some simple food carving tricks. Then you all dine together in true Thai style and try all the other delicious dishes the class has cooked. I’m getting hungry just thinking about this. All the fresh ingredients which are used for the Khao Lak Thai cooking class are sourced locally, fresh from the daily market. You will shop with no-plastic bags. Any left over food waste is turned in compost which is used in the herb garden at Riverside.

MAIN

Morning Cooking Class

Visit a local fresh market in Khao Lak before starting to prepare your favourite dish. In every class Thai spring rolls are always included.

MAIN

Afternoon Course with Sweet Thai Dessert

The afternoon class is without the market tour. Instead you will learn how to make a sweet dessert with Banana in Coconut Milk.

Such a great experience

Had a great market visit & cooking lesson with the lovely Apple and her 2 efficient assistants. Everything from my resort pick up, market visit and making the fabulous dishes, was so well run. Highly recommend you do it.

Toller Kurs mit Apple

Wir hatten einen tollen Kurs mit Apple. Vorallem der Besuch auf dem lokalen Markt war sehr beeindruckend und lehrreich. Apple ist eine tolle Powerfrau. Man fühlt sich wie in einem kleinen Dschungel. Apple hat uns gezeigt wie einfach und schnell asiatische Gerichte gekocht sind. Freuen uns aufs Nachkochen

Cooking in a dream location

Hello, We met Apple on August 5, 2026, for a cooking class that was out of time and outside our usual routine. Apple has this ability to make you feel like you are part of her family. It started with a trip to the market to acquire the necessary products for our lunch meals. The market, in itself, is worth the trip, and Apple makes you smell all the herbs and spices, shows you which fish to buy, and how to choose it. Yes! For us, it was the fish that we chose. Next, head to Apple's kitchen, ...read more

A unique experience

Apple is what you could call a master culinary guide. Her kindness is matched only by her professionalism. If you are wondering where to find Thai cooking classes, there is only one address: Apple at Riverside Thai Cooking. Between the market visit with the chef and then heading to the jungle for an open kitchen in a magnificent garden, the class turns into a unique moment. The magic happens and our dishes take shape before being tasted. Only one regret: it goes by too fast. Thank you Apple fo...read more

Throughly enjoyable cooking class, highly recommend

We had a great time cooking with Apple, it was good to be able to choose what we wanted to cook, and we all loved our meals. Apple is a wonderful Chef and is very patient, very well organised and has a great kitchen, specially designed by her for her classes. Apple picked us up from our hotel and we spent time at her local market, where she brought some the ingredients, it was also cool to see some Apples on sale from our own country! Would highly recommend this cooking class, lots of fun and...read more
