Thai Cooking Class by Kata Thai Cooking School in Phuket

Kata Thai Cooking School, run under the name Oh-Hoo, holds a four-hour class in Phuket — an hour longer than most cooking classes on the island — for a smaller group capped at 10 people, each working an individual cooking area. The FAQ confirms four dishes are cooked hands-on, with a printed recipe book to take home.

The market tour is tied to the lunch sitting only: the FAQ is explicit that the evening class skips it and is cooking-only. English instruction runs throughout, and the FAQ says instructors take beginners from knife skills upward, which suits people who haven’t cooked Thai food before. A welcome drink starts the session, and lunch or dinner is included depending on which sitting is booked. Hotel pickup anywhere in Phuket is included at no extra charge, useful given how spread out Phuket’s resort areas are.

Travelers comparing options should note this runs smaller and pricier than the hands-on class at Thai Cooking School Phuket, which takes up to 15 people in three hours and treats the market visit as a separate optional add-on rather than bundling it into one sitting.

Watch out: the listing states a minimum of two people is needed to run the tour at all, so solo travellers should check availability before counting on a fixed departure.
