Corso di cucina thailandese sostenibile ed esperienza di alimentazione dolce del gigante

Feeding the elephants was an unforgettable experience. Being able to get so close, hand them food, and see their personalities up close was both fun and surprisingly peaceful. The staff clearly care deeply about the elephants, and the whole experience felt respectful and well-run. But the real standout of the day was the Thai cooking class. Chef Jimmy was absolutely fantastic, friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything in a way that made it easy to follow, even for beginners, and you could tell he was genuinely passionate about sharing authentic Thai food. What made it even more special was that the recipes he taught had elements from his hometown, which gave the class a really personal and authentic touch. We cooked Thai green curry, Tom yum goong, and Pad thai, and every dish turned out amazing. Chef Jimmy walked us through each step, explained the ingredients, and shared little tips you’d never get from a cookbook. The green curry had incredible depth of flavour, the tom yum goong was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the Pad thai tasted better than many restaurants we’ve tried. It didn’t feel rushed at all, it was relaxed, interactive, and a lot of fun. By the end, we not only had a delicious meal but also felt confident we could recreate everything at home. If you’re visiting Bukit Elephant Park, the cooking class is an absolute must-do. A perfect mix of culture, fun, and seriously good food. Highly recommended!

From the very beginning, everything felt warm, welcoming, and well organized. Jimmy and his entire crew were absolutely amazing, incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They created an atmosphere in which we immediately felt comfortable. The cooking class itself was not only fun but also very informative. The instructions were clear, hands-on, and engaging, and the food we prepared was delicious. It was a great way to learn more about Thai cuisine while enjoying a relaxed and friendly environment. What made the experience even more special was the ethical approach to the elephants. It was clear that their well-being comes first, and they are treated with respect and care. Knowing that the animals are handled responsibly added a lot to the overall positive feeling of the day. Feeding them with bananas was fun! I can highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic, enjoyable, and ethically responsible activity in Thailand. Thank you so much! 🥰

We loved the dishes and totally recommend the Bukit Thai cooking class. The whole location was very beautiful and the elephants looks very happy. Their are many rules how to interact with the elephant while feeding them with their bananas. So you can see that the Bukit is very ethical and good to the elephants.

I got to feed the elephants (who were rescued from trafficking and abuse) and then I participated in a cooking class led by Jimmy. I was alone during the class, but I had a fantastic time. Jimmy was very professional and also very funny. I highly recommend this activity!

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant; it was a truly wonderful experience. He explained each ingredient and showed us how to properly prepare the dish. We cooked three delicious dishes during the course, all ready to eat immediately. I highly recommend it!
