    We had a really nice experience with Ying and One One. They picked us up from our hotel, we bought a few things from the super market, and then we went to the kitchen to learn our choice of dishes. They were very fun and let us do most of the cooking after a short demo. The food turned out really tasty and was way more than we could eat. Overall it took about 3-4 hours and was a great way to spend the morning.

    CHOP CHOP, BANG BANG! This is a must if you’re in and around Krabi! We cooked up a delicious feast with different curries, stir fry’s, soups, salads, spring rolls and (of course) the best mango sticky rice! Angel and everybody else was incredibly lovely - if you’re veggie or have any food allergies/preferences they’ll make sure to accommodate you! We had so much fun cooking some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had - and even got to take home a recipe book! We can’t wait impress all our friends and family back home!!

    This was a great cooking class! The instructors are super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We cooked way too much food but it was all delicious, and now people keep mistaking me for Gordon Ramsay.

    We came for a morning session at the cooking school and were not disappointed. The teachers were great, friendly and clearly experts. They let us choose from a menu of what to cook, and allowed us to tailor to our own tastes and spices. We then sit down to eat what you have prepared which are generous portions. There were 3 of us in our class and we couldn’t eat everything! Recipes are delicious and you get to take a cook book home with you. 10/10 and would definitely visit again!

    Such an amazing experience. Angel was great teacher, showed us the secrets of Thai cooking in a fun atmosphere, we left so full we didn't even want to eat breakfast. Definite must do! Wish I've taken more photos, but the cook book has all the knowledge you need for home.

    We had a group of 8 and it was such a fun and educational experience! We checked out a couple (as in visited) before booking and Yas won hands down on setup/professionalism. Fantastic knowledge and experience from both our guides (we did 2 groups of 4). Great value, delicious food, awesome cooking school!

    We seek out authentic experiences when we travel that really offer a feel of the places we visit. We had trouble finding a school in Krabi Province that actually taught southern Thai cooking. Chef Ya and her team customized a special day of southern Thai cooking for us. Distinct from the pad thai, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice offered in every cooking class in the country no matter the region, Chef Ya taught us Moo Hong, a stewed pork belly with warm spices; Goong Pad Makham, flash fried prawns tossed in a sweet, sour, and spicy tamarind sauce; Kai Tod Hat Yai, double-fried chicken marinated in a bold spicy batter made famous by the southern Thai city with the same name; Pla Tod Kamin, mackerel marinated in garlic and turmeric; and (although not universally southern) Pla Rad Prik, whole fried white snapper in a chili sauce (which was made far less sweet by our southern hosts than in other regions of Thailand). The exquisite food was matched by Chef Ya’s mastery of the kitchen and her compelling life stories; she’s a boss! Truly a cooking course designed for and by lovers of food.

    Incredible cooking class!!! I’ve been taking Thai cooking classes for years and wanted a refresher on making the curry pastes. This place delivered on that...and blew expectations for everything else (ie., spring rolls, soups, basil chicken, etc.) Btw, Ya taught GORDAN RAMSEY to cook Thai food!!!! She doesn’t know much about advertising as she’s focused on food but...yeah. Pretty darn impressive woman. We also tasted a few other foods she had cooked for herself for lunch - all incredible and she told us to just email her for recipes or guidance. This was the experience of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it more highly!!! ❤️

    The cooking was very fun! We were in an all Dutch teen girl group. Wish we got more explanation about everything, but the food was good. The hotel transfer from Krabi town was very bad. On our way back we got money for the bus and had to take the bus from Ao Nang to Krabi town?!!!! That wasn't what we payed for!

    Great experience! The 2 teachers were so knowledgeable on cooking thai cuisine, the food was delicious and they were very generous with the portions. Also gave out the recipes at the end of the class so we can cook at home and helped us take lots of pictures as well. Highly recommend for tourists looking to learn more about Thai cooking!

    Really nice experience in Krabi, we made so many delicious food, different curries from curry paste made by us, papaya salad, pad Thai, soups and sticky rice with mangos. The teachers are so nice, there’s a very nice atmosphere, perfect program for a cloudy day in Thailand.

    I and my husband had really good experience in there. The curry was taste so good. I often have Thai food but that was the best curry I have ever had before. Also staff was so friendly and everything love it.

    So. Much. Fun!!! We took the afternoon course and had a lovely experience in an intimate group of five students. If you're a foodie and into cooking you will love this! We got to learn so many of the signature thai dishes and had a feast! Do not eat before. Seriously! There is so much food you are preparing and eating - you'll regret arriving even a little full. Everyone was incredibly friendly and in a good mood. Would recommend 10/10!

    We had a wonderful experience with the chefs at Ya’s Thai a cookery School. We were picked up at our hotel. When we arrived we were given an apron and we immediately started to cook. The chefs are very clear and provide all the information you need to prepare a wonderful feast. Come hungry, because you eat all that you cook! They also give you ideas for alternative ingredients. It seemed so easy! And everything was very tasty. When you are finished, you have the option of taking away the food with you (leftovers) and they give you a nice cook book with all the recipes you have prepared. We prepared about 5 dishes.

    What an amazing experience. Ya and her team are so welcoming. The food was exquisite and plentiful. We had such fun, even my children thoroughly enjoyed the class. I would say the food was the best we have had since being in Thailand. We ate and laughed, and ate and learnt, and ate and ate. Fabulous, I highly recommend.

    Best Thai food you will eat, even cooked yourself. Ya and team are amazing. Simply out of this world. Come with an empty stomach and prepare to eat way too much.

    Had a blast of a time at Ya's Cookery school. Place was accessible by the generous transport from the company or Grab at comparable rates. The facility was well maintained with an abundance of equipment and ingredients. I have attended professional courses in malls and studios but honestly, nothing compares to the amount of coordination and organisation the team had. It was a blast! Energetic and knowledgeable team who are highly skilled at cooking. A small language barrier of course, but it didn't hamper the learning experience for me at all! I fully recommend and hope to bring my friends next time.

    Absolutely perfect experience! The place is nice. The food we made was delicious. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home. Curries were full of flavor. Never thought that it’s so easy to make spring rolls. The teachers are friendly and answers all your questions. The food which you do not finish you can take home.

    Best experience ever! The classes are very practical, the ingredients and everything it’s very clean and DELICIOUS!! I totally recommend this experience if you want to learn and cook the best thai dishes

  • 5/5 Rocky 2 years ago on Google
    A must do Krabi experience! We learnt how to cook so many authentic Thai dishes and everything was delicious. The experience is so easy - they pick you up and drop you off to your accommodation, and you make SO MUCH food that you get to take it home and eat for days. The people who run it are so genuine, patient and talented.
