Great all round experience
We had a great morning looking round the market at all the fresh ingredients then cooking spring rolls and three Thai dishes back at the school. Apple and her staff were very patient and helpful, they all looked after us very well. The food was delicious and plentiful, I really would recommend missing breakfast before you go! Looking forward to trying it all out with family and friends at home.

Such a great experience
Had a great market visit & cooking lesson with the lovely Apple and her 2 efficient assistants. Everything from my resort pick up, market visit and making the fabulous dishes, was so well run. Highly recommend you do it.

Throughly enjoyable cooking class, highly recommend
We had a great time cooking with Apple, it was good to be able to choose what we wanted to cook, and we all loved our meals. Apple is a wonderful Chef and is very patient, very well organised and has a great kitchen, specially designed by her for her classes. Apple picked us up from our hotel and we spent time at her local market, where she brought some the ingredients, it was also cool to see some Apples on sale from our own country! Would highly recommend this cooking class, lots of fun and a great taste of Thailand.

An Unforgettable Experience — Apple Is a Phenomenal Teacher!
My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time at Riverside Thai Cooking Class with Apple, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded our already-high expectations. The adventure started by Apple picking us up at our hotel and driving to the local market, where Apple walked us through the stalls to buy ingredients for the dishes we selected to cook. But she didn't just grab items and go — she went above and beyond, taking the time to show us different ingredients up close, letting us smell them, explaining their Thai names, and even telling us which ones we could find back home so we could recreate the dishes later. That market tour alone was worth the visit. From there, Apple brought us to her home, where she showed us the fresh herbs and ingredients growing right in her own garden. Her outdoor kitchen is absolutely stunning — set in a gorgeous location that made the whole experience feel special. It's the kind of setting you couldn't design any better. Apple has a gift for teaching. She made every step of the lesson fun, engaging, and easy to follow, no matter your skill level. Her passion for Thai cooking is contagious, and you can tell she genuinely loves sharing it with others. And the best part? We got to sit down and eat everything we made — and it was delicious. There's something so satisfying about enjoying a meal you've prepared yourself, especially when it tastes that good. If you're in Khao Lak, do yourself a favor and book this class. Apple's warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail make Riverside Thai Cooking Class a highlight you won't forget. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Khao Lak.
How much does Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Khao Lak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Khao Lak is not rushed.
Is Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 152 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Khao Lak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Khao Lak can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Khao Lak and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Khao Lak within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Khao Lak?
+
On Outty we rank every Khao Lak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak by Amazon Prime Series Chef, Riverside Thai Cooking Half Day Class, Trekking to Waterfall Adventure Tubing 45 mins. (Only Khao lak). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Khao Lak?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Khao Lak?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
