A Must-Do Experience in Phuket! - We had an amazing time at Phuket Thai Cooking Class by Chef VJ! The class was so much fun and very informative. Chef VJ and her team were incredibly friendly and made sure we understood everything, even if our English wasn't perfect. We started with a visit to the local market, which was fascinating and a great way to learn about Thai ingredients. Then, we cooked four delicious Thai dishes, and the results were fantastic! The hands-on experience was great, and the food was some of the best we had in Thailand. The location is easy to find, and the setup is very professional. The class was well-organized, and the team made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend this cooking class if you're in Phuket. We can't wait to try these recipes at home!
