Lanta Thai Cookery School

Run by local chefs who genuinely love what they do, this school offers half and full-day classes built around choosing your own dishes from a menu of around ten options. When the Thursday market is running five minutes away, the class begins with a guided ingredient walk where the instructor points out herbs and vegetables and explains their role in Thai cooking. Instructor Prim brings real energy and humour to the kitchen, and the food produced is consistently impressive, especially the Massaman curry. Come with an appetite.
