Highlights
- Riverside Thai Cooking Class - 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.

Tasty Family fun - A wonderful culinary experience for families.
New skills to take home and also recipes given to us to replicate back home.
Unlike other cooking schools with set menus, The Riverside cooking school gave you a choice of many dishes to cook. I was really happy as I’ve always wanted to learn how to make a TomYum Goong soup and that I did. Because everyone had an individual dish you could customise how hot to make the dish. Once cooked we all shared our dishes. A lovely activity for families and individuals. Apple and her team were delightful and effervescent. Highly recommend (but take your big spray, the mozzie were also having a feast)

One of the best Cooking Classes ever! - What a lovely experience! Chef Apple picked us up from our hotel and it was just us 4 (inc 2 kids aged 10 & 7) - we headed to the market which was a great experience in itself, seeing various produce which we would not usually have seen. From there we headed to the kitchens at their place where we each had the opportunity to create our own dish (including the kids).
The whole morning was a fantastic learning experience and the kids also enjoyed it. 10/10 well done!

Absolute recommendation - Apple is a great host! We had a lot of fun with her. There is a beautiful new cooking school in the middle of nature. Everything is well prepared (all the ingredients for the personally selected dish are already separated and prepared). The market visit at the beginning was very interesting. Many thanks to the whole Apple team.

No one will be disappointed! Extremely well. - A fantastic activity for the whole family!! Extremely well!
Picked up from the hotel in the morning, a trip to the market, bought ingredients for the cooking but also got a bit of a crash course in Thai ingredients. Drove to the Riverside cooking class kitchen, where we got to try cooking a number of different dishes that you had to choose in advance. Just enough of everything! Apple, which holds the class, is a bundle of energy and spreads it to everyone involved. The highlight of the holiday! You must try.

Authentic Thai cooking - We had a great morning with Apple and her team. First we went to the market which was fascinating to see and smell all of the different local produce. Apple took us to the different stalls and explained which ingredients we would be using.
We were then driven to her cooking school where we cooked Thai green curry, massam curry, pad Thai, spring rolls(also sweet ones fir the children which were lush) and sweet and sour as well as a pork & shrimp salad. We were involved in the preparing , crushing of the herbs to a paste using the pestle & mortar, and then the cooking. The food was fantastic and we got to eat it all.
If you like cooking, and you want to spend a morning doing some authentic cooking, I’d highly recommend this trip.

Authentic Thai cuisine presented - Anyone on holiday in Khao Lak should not miss out on this experience. The morning courses with a visit to the local market are particularly worthwhile. Apple organizes everything perfectly and imparts a lot of useful information about ingredients and preparation methods. Eating together is the crowning glory of the experience. 100% recommendation!

Simply the Best - Apple was so thoughtful and accommodating towards our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. She really went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. Her cooking studio was comfortable, clean and homely. Thank you so much, Apple!

Very pleasurable experience - My girlfriend and I messaged Apple the night before and she was very accommodating in booking us in for the following morning. We had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Apple was a great teacher and talked us through the recipes with great detail. Very funny character and was very grateful for her picking us up she dropping us off.
