My partner and I really enjoyed our cooking class with Wooddy. We were so impressed by our teacher’s knowledge and cooking skills, we were so entertained the entire time and even got a private tour of the garden where many of the ingredients are grown. Highly recommend booking this class, worth every penny.

We had the best time with Wooddy - he was very kind, funny and teached us everything about the different dishes. We went to a foodmarket together and bought some ingredients before. While the cooking he showed us around his beautiful garden.
Wooddy is a a real character and felt like I was cooking with a dear friend. Cool afternoon that has a little bit of xfactor.
The market tour was cool and I was given the opportunity to purchase and explore anything there. Then when we were cooking, the staff guided me step by step to ensure I understood. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. I’m so glad I did this class and can’t recommend it enough!
He’s so funny, kind and happy and you can taste the love in the meals you make with him. He taught us so many dishes and shared his recipes. Really great experience. Can’t wait to do another class.
My family & I booked to have a private cooking tour with Wooddy. It was a fantastic experience. Wooddy’s passion for cooking & his knowledge of local produce was fantastic. We made 4 dishes each & we also had the opportunity to change a dish for one of our daughters. The food we cooked was excellent. Would highly recommend.

What a fun and fantastic cooking experience with Mr Wooddy, from shopping in local market to buy ingredients to then going to his cooking school. It really is a must do to learn how to prepare the ingredients for what ever you choose to cook. You get 3 or 4 options of what food you want to cook and eat. There is so much food you will not go hungry and you can takeaway what you don't finish. A must is the Green curry we have been cooking this at home for years but nothing as flavoursome and as aromatic as this.

Today my partner and I enjoyed the most amazing morning at Wooddy’s Kitchen in Phuket! From start to finish, it was such a fun, hands-on and authentic experience. We started the day visiting the local Banzaan market, where we learned about traditional Thai ingredients and picked up some fresh produce. Then we returned to Wooddy’s beautiful property, surrounded by lush greenery and full of herbs and vegetables grown right there on site. Under Wooddy’s friendly and patient guidance, we cooked three classic Thai dishes: a fragrant Thai Green Curry, a perfectly balanced Pad Thai, and the most delicious Mango Sticky Rice we’ve ever tasted. Everything was explained so clearly, and we loved that we were able to make everything from scratch using fresh, local ingredients. Beyond the amazing food, it was Wooddy’s warmth, knowledge and passion for Thai cooking that made this experience so special. The ladies in the kitchen were also fabulous and very helpful every step of the way. It was such a lovely way to spend the morning, and we have left with full hearts, full bellies, and a new appreciation for Thai cuisine. Highly recommended. This is a must-do experience in Phuket!

Woody and his young apprentice delivered an amazing experience starting with a trip to the markets and onto the purpose built kitchen at his home so everyone had a cooking station. Each person could tailor the level of spice/heat so it was great for my children and my vegetarian wife. A tour of the garden help showed us where the food came from. Would thoroughly recommend.
We had such an amazing time at Wooddy Kitchen Cooking Class! The Thai dishes we made were absolutely delicious, and Wooddy and his family were so warm, passionate, and welcoming.

Fantastic afternoon spent with Wooddy and his family. He was very informative about all the lovely local ingredients. The cooking part was the best, he really had it organised so well. And the end result was amazing tasty Thai food. I would say best meal we’ve had in Thailand and I made it!
We booked our Thai cooking experience with Chef Wooddy directly through his website, saving money compared to the street agents. Along with my wife and friends we were picked up from the hotel for a private, hands-on culinary adventure. The day began with a visit to the local markets, which was an experience in itself. Wooddy explained the ingredients in detail, including how coconut milk is extracted using machines—quite different from the natural milk obtained by cracking the nut. We also selected fresh vegetables and herbs, adding authenticity to every dish we would prepare. The cooking class took place in a stunning location nestled in the mountain valley of Kata Beach, with breathtaking views of the Big Buddha. The area was surrounded by a lush tropical fruit and vegetable garden, which framed the outdoor kitchen beautifully. We wandered through the garden, picking kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and Thai basil straight from the earth. This added a tactile joy to the experience, grounding each recipe in freshness and intention. Wooddy encouraged us to taste, adjust, and trust our instincts. Cooking Thai food with him was unforgettable—equal parts flavorful, fun, and full of heart. From pounding curry paste to balancing sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes, every step was hands-on and deeply immersive. His passion and storytelling brought each dish to life, connecting ingredients to culture and tradition. We crafted classics like fried chicken with cashew nuts, tom yum king prawn soup, and Thai green chicken curry, while also exploring lesser-known gems. Wooddy’s guidance was warm and precise, making complex techniques feel approachable. The aromas, the laughter, the shared bites—it all felt like a celebration. Thai cooking with Wooddy wasn’t just a class; it was a soulful journey. Thank you Wooddy and your lovely family who were great helpers for a fantastic experience we won’t forget Mick & Cindy

This was a great way to spend a morning in Phuket. The class is very informative (ingredients used and techniques for cooking). Wooddy is a great teacher! Would definitely recommend!

If you're looking for an authentic, hands-on Thai cooking experience in Phuket, look no further than Wooddy's Kitchen! Wooddy's Kitchen is a fun, interesting and organised class. The instruction was full of helpful insights into Thai cooking techniques. We learned so much about the ingredients, with detailed explanations. Wooddy grows produce in his garden and we toured the organic garden, led by Woody’s daughter, who was the “apprentice” during her school holidays. She was absolutely delightful and doubled as the official photographer. Every dish we made was bursting with flavor. Which you were able to personalise to you level of spice, salty, sour and sweet. Do not eat breakfast before you come, you’ll be full and not needing dinner Highly recommended for food lovers, families, and anyone wanting to learn Thai cuisine.

Never cooked a meal before until now really enjoyed my experience. Woody and Staff amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. The length of visit was really good for the price. This experience is best for everyone and anyone with or without cooking experiences. The crowd size we had was very good where we had 1-1 assistance which helped us learn new techniques to take home! Thank you Woody and your amazing staff for the experience!
Awesome day starting with a visit to the local markets followed by fruit tasting, cooking class and garden tour. Was a great experience especially all the yummy things we got to cook ourselves and then eat. Yummy!

Such a memorable experience! Chef Wooddy was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to cultivate an experience catered to my palette and preferences! We cooked fried bananas/sweet potatoes, Prawn Tom Yum, Chicken Satay (barbecued curry chicken), and a Papaya salad. Every part of the cooking class was intricate, organized, and felt like home! Since I’ve been in Thailand, THIS IS THE BEST FOOD I’VE HAD! 10/10 Experience 10/10 Food 10/10 Environment. They go above and beyond by providing the photos and videos at the end of the class, as well as a recipes of the items cooked, and more! Lastly, hotel pick-up and drop off was efficient and timely!

I had an absolute great time with at Wooddy Kitchen cooking class today. Hotel pick up, guided market tour and easy interactive cooking class. 4 courses with so much food! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
He's super friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The class starts with a market tour where we see the fresh ingredients that we'll be cooking with. We then head into prep, cooking, and the best part, EATING! food was AMAZING and fresh. 10/10 would recommend for anyone wanting an authentic Thai cooking experience
Went to the market to get fresh ingredients. Made a 3 course meal was lovely and Wooddy was really informative and kind!
Very informative and a fun course to take. Will definitely come back next time
Amazing experience! Wooddy was so engaging & entertaining while also teaching us how to make the most tasty dishes !!! So glad we did this tour. Worth every $

Woody took us to the markets where the locals shop for their meat and vegetables- it was amazing - we got to taste different fruits etc and than got all the vegetables and meat for what we needed . We headed to Woodys cooking school. It was FUN, the 4 different foods we made were sensational and portion size huge ❤️Woody explained everything and how to cook all dishes - who knew I could cook 😂🤩It was worth every cent, everything was “hands on” and learnt so much about Thai food and flavours. Thank you Woody for bringing out the chef in me and the FUN time we all had - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We started with a visit to a local market to get fresh ingredients, then got a tour of a garden, and then did the cooking class, finally being able to eat a four course meal that’d we’d just made. The food was delicious, the class was fun and informative, and everybody was very passionate and friendly. On top of that, it was a great value, and you got to keep a Thai apron, custom certificate, and e-cookbook. I’d highly recommend to anyone, even if you don’t think you love Thai food (this may change your mind).
It is a homely and sharing moment. New ingredients and very tasty.
What an amazing experience this was! My 11 year old son and I had an absolutely wonderful morning with Wooddy and his team! A great visit to the local food market for ingredients - Wooddy was so interesting to listen to, and we learnt loads about Thai food and local produce. His garden is a sight to behold with all the plants and produce. The cooking was brilliant, and the attention to detail was great. We created 4 delicious dishes and could take what we couldn't eat home. I would 100% recommend Wooddy as a cooking school when in Thailand. Go there and you will not regret it!

Was the best experience from start to finish! Wooddy picked us up from our hotel in Patong and then showed us round the markets, which was great learning about Thai fruit, veg and spices. We were then greated at the cooking class with refreshments including Thai fruit to try and fried banana. The preparation and cooking of the food was also super well thought out with helpers to assist and insightful directions by wooddy! Also helped that the final dishes tasting amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!

WOODY KITCHEN BY Phuket Cooking Course may easily be one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever taken and definitely a highlight of my time in Phuket! From the moment Woody picked me up at the hotel, his positive energy was infectious. He and Kai ran the class with such ease and joy that the whole experience felt like cooking with old friends. We laughed throughout the session, asked a ton of questions, and learned so much. Woody was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt involved. The food? Absolutely delicious! Every dish we prepared was packed with flavor and authentic Thai taste. I couldn’t finish it all, and Kai kindly packed up the leftovers so I could enjoy them later. This class was more than just cooking it was a cultural and culinary experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend adding this to your Phuket itinerary!
Wooddy collected us from hotel to go to market where he walked us through the important ingredients in Thai cooking. We were only two in whole group so we had the full attention of Woody and staff. Demonstrations and explanations were clear and easy to follow. Food was delicious. We recommend this experience.

We were holidaying with 2 other couples and nearing the end of a month traveling around Southern Thailand together. We had enjoyed the beautiful food in our holiday and decided we wanted to learn some tips to take home to New Zealand. Wooddy provided an informative and entertaining afternoon which we all enjoyed.

A Trip to Phuket is not complete without spending a few hours with Wooddy and his team!! We did a Market tour to collect the ingredients needed for the cook. We then arrived at his facility and prepared everything from scratch. Cooked 4 different meals and then got to eat them. Wooddy speaks great English is super knowledgeable and explained every step of the way. His helpers were happy to help the less experienced. This activity is good for all levels of cooking experience, and he was flexible changing the dishes to suit those with allergies Highly recommended!! Thanks Wooddy, and your team for a great day!!

Had a fabulous afternoon at Wooddy's Cooking Course. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to the local market where he bought ingredients for our class. He explained what he was buying and showed us fruits and vegatables that we had not seen before, we even bought some Dragon skin fruit and he prepared it for us back at his kitchen for us to try. The cooking class itself is amazing, Wooddy is very good at teaching and we had so much fun in the class, which had a total of 5 of us. During the class everyone gets the chance to assist with the prep and then cook your own meal to eat at the end. It was a very relaxed afternoon with great company and a very good cook. Would definitely recommend this cooking class for anyone visiting Phuket.
Wooddy is the best host. Picked me up and went to markets to buy ingredients. I got to do the curry paste with pestle & morter instead of it being done in blender. It was an amazing experience not just to learn about ingredients and flavour, and not only to cook and eat it as well. Also, I want to share as I did, and I think I got Wooddy's approval. This was so inspirational, and I can't wait to share my cooking with my friends and family.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Wooddy and his staff, he was excellent in explaining exactly how you get to the flavours you enjoy in Thai cooking. We cooked a Green Curry, Tom Yum Kung soup (2 versions) Spring Rolls and Mango Rice for dessert. We also went to the local market to pick up our ingredients. Such a great afternoon we would thoroughly recommend it. Thanks again Wooddy and your staff. ❤️
Excellent class delivered by Wooddy; made it really easy to follow; he offered an educational session that exceeded our expectations. Just brilliant. Highly recommended by us . Oh and fun too !
Woody did an amazing job so informative and well spoken. The set up was super impressive and clean. My family did the half day class with 4 courses, it was an amazing experience with great foods.
Had a great time. we are a 68 year old English couple always willing to try something different. Wooddy was great fun and informative, he picked us up at the hotel and took us to a local food market where we met another two couples. Wooddy showed us the produce on offer and answered any questions we had. We then went onto the kitchen where Woody showed us and guided us in cooking four Thai dishes. We are vegetarian - that was no problem just substituted Tofu for chicken and used Vegan fish sauce. There were two young women on hand to help and clear up. The lunch was delicious. Door to door about 4 hours - quite tiring but really worth it!

What an amazing day! Return transfers to hotel included, first a visit to a Thai food market to learn about the fresh produce and ingredients. Then to the Wooddy Kitchen to learn more and prepare the dishes. Options of 3 or 4 dishes and lots of flexibility depending on diet! Recipe book with 15 or so recipes sent via email at completion for cooking at home. Wooddy and his staff are friendly and caring and provide a fantastic experience. Great bang for buck.
This class was fantastic. I reached out to Woody early morning to see if the dishes could be adapted to vegetarian, he responded immediately and advised that they could so I booked the class for that afternoon for 2 people. We were kept updated with pick up times due to bad traffic. We stopped at the local market for some produce where Woody talked us through what he was buying the we went on to cook it. Woody was excellent at showing and explaining what we needed to do, his English is great, and the 2 ladies who assisted were amazing too, all very friendly, but the best part was how delicious all the dishes tasted, they were superb. This class was recommended to us by another guest at our hotel, I really hope this review helps you decide to take up the class too, you won’t be disappointed.

Just love everything, Wooddy is a fantastic host with a sense of humour that helps make it a great experience. The cooking experience was high quality and I definitely will be back for another one. Thank you Wooddy
Superb experience. Wonderful host superb food and so much fun cooking with my 2 adult daughters. We even got a certificate at the end!
Couldn’t recommend enough! We made som yum Kung, pad see ew, green curry chicken, and mango sticky rice. The recipes are absolutely delicious, not overcomplicated, and Sami our instructor was so patient, kind, and hilarious! We were laughing the entire class. I was really grateful she sent half the food home with us because it was way too much to eat in one sitting. I’d love to do another class to learn how to make some other Thai dishes. Super stoked to try out these recipes at home with my family... thank you so so so much !!!!
We arrived at the class which is in a shop front, with an attached kitchen. Everything has been set up beforehand. There were 6 of us and we were seated around a classroom table, teacher at one end and behind her own table, the room was air conditioned. the lessons felt rushed and it feels very methodical. i was expecting that we go to the market first to buy ingredients we would cook with then be cooking- not to be seated in a class, cook and then market. it all felt very factory-ish, like we were being pushed through a process.
This is the third cooking class I’ve taken in Thailand and it was the tops. I made the best green curry I’ve ever tasted. It was such fun doing the cooking we cooked four meals, too much to eat thank goodness for the takeaways. Small classes means you get a lot of personal attention. I would recommend this course.
Indeed an educational experience. There is no better way to describe this experience. Travelling alone can be lonely, but then i found this group through this cooking school, it made my whole stay in Thailand meaningful and insightful. I was able to immerse myself to the culture of Thailand. They prepared a local visit to the market to pick fresh ingredients before the start of the class. They took time in explaining where it came from and how it is used. Everything was organic. I did not expect that my dish would taste so good like it was made by a professional chef. I do not cook very well but now i feel proud that i was able to create a good Thai food.
We had such a great time at this class. We made large portions of 4 different recipes--an appy, soup, noodles and dessert. It was so much food that we had to take some back with us!! Fun, entertaining teacher and staff, great company and awesome food.
It was such a very nice experience ! The guide is easy to follow and usually the food tastes better when someone cooks it for you but today was the first time where my cooking tasted really well ! Overall great day !
We loved it! We should have taken a full day class that hopefully would have afforded more time at the market. It was the best cooking class we have taken :)
Loved every minute of it.
I really enjoyed my cooking class! The market walk was a great add-on and I learnt a lot from being given the tour around the various stalls, learning about what foods are used in what meals. I'm not the best cook but the teacher was very helpful and meant that I didn't burn or ruin anything! I definitely plan to make the recipes again and again now that I'm home. The food is DELICIOUS! But no surprises there...
Pickup and drop off to my accommodation made this super easy. It was great getting to walk through the local food market and the class itself was fantastic and super informative. I look forward to attempting the recipes on my own when I get home!!
The market part was OK there isnnot much to see, but it is nice to dtart seeing the different incredientes. Once in the class everything is really organized, clean and mostly clear. They give you the recipies, show younall the ingredients, make it interactive and custom made for what younlike in terms of how spicy, if you can’t eat something in particular they will find the way to replace it. And finally cooking and eating. The cooking part is also great, very organized, you can see the tecniques and practie them. It is a lot of food you cook, but eating it makes you feel like a really good cook (haha) and if you can not finish it, they box it for you! I had a great experience and really felt I was learning from a local.
