Cooking Class in Koh Samui for Small Group

A small-group cooking class on Koh Samui pairs a local market tour with hands-on cooking, capped at 6 people per session. It runs 4 hours, from $84, with private transportation and all food included.

The Experience: the class starts with a market run, where Bung or Mong walks the group through the ingredients that’ll end up in the day’s dishes before heading to the kitchen to cook. With only 6 people per class, everyone gets hands-on time at the stove rather than watching a demonstration from the back. The result is lunch or dinner you’ve cooked yourself, eaten together at the end of the session.

Private transportation, food, tea, and fresh water are included in the price, so there’s little to plan beyond showing up. Reviews run high — 4.9 out of 5 across 104 ratings — which tracks with the small-class format rather than a rushed group session. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund.

Good if you want a genuinely small class rather than a tourist-bus cooking demo with dozens of people; also worth it if you’re after a market tour alongside the cooking, since that’s built into the same 4 hours rather than sold separately. Skip it if you need instant online confirmation, since booking here isn’t confirmed automatically.

Insider Tip: message Bung on WhatsApp before your date to confirm meeting details — there’s no fixed public meeting point listed, and bookings aren’t instantly confirmed.
