プーケット料理教室と市場見学体験

On my second visit to ‘To Be’, I managed use my skill learnt from the first class with B. Again, the class was conducted in a well thought manner with clean environment and utensils. The recipes were excellent and ingredients very fresh. It reminded me of family food that I had while growing up in Singapore. I am glad that I can prepare the fish soup myself now. In my second time visit to the market, I was ready to purchase products for personal use. Excellent value for money.

I highly recommend attending this cooking class. B is very experienced and has excellent knowledge of cooking methods. The techniques are taught in a patient and methodical way.Easy for anyone to follow, Cooking is very therapeutic and great for unwinding. The food is good quality, clean and kitchen is well set out. I will be going to another class soon. Value for money.

We had a great experiance first in the market and after in the cooking classroom Chef B is a special guide to be familiar with Thai food, gives you personal touch to natural herbs of Thailand

In Be’s cooking school I learned so much, not only about cooking Thai food but also about EATING Thai food. She offers vegan and vegetarian, just ask in advance.

Our instructor was extremely attentive and had amazing energy. I especially appreciated the extra care taken to teach me gluten-free Thai recipes. I cooked everything completely gluten-free myself, and I could eat with complete confidence. It was both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend.

The absolute best experience hands in making real Thai food, Chef B so willing and proud to share her wonderful knowledge, Thank you so so much

Super detailed class that gives you a tour of the local market where they source the ingredients. Once back at the building they guide you through 3 main dishes and a dessert, the lessons were easy to understand and created delicious meals. Dietairy restrictions were also taken very seriously, with members of the course being given vegetarian and gluten free menus to cook alongside other chefs.

THANK YOU Be for an amazing authentic Thai cooking class and such delicious food. Be is a very patient and good teacher. Highly recommend coming to Be for an unforgettable Thai cooking class.

B and Mr Beard were so patient with us and our 5 and 8 year old kid. They took us through the market so we could see where the ingredients came from. Then we went back to the cooking school and proceeded to make 4 authentic Thai dishes. The kids were supervised and care was made based on our tastes for spice. The meal was amazing and we all learn a lot about the love and care that goes into Thai foods. Highly recommend for a half day adventure with or without kids.

She was able to evenly spread her attention to all of us and accommodated to the dietary restrictions in the class - vegetarian and gluten free. The meals were delicious and we had 4 courses (dessert included). The stove, kitchen utensils, pans, etc were all in great condition and it was all clean. It included not only pickup from our hotel, but also a tour of the local market to see the fresh ingredients. I normally don't eat prawns, but the prawn dish we made was amazing and the prawns were tender and juicy from how fresh it was. At the end they send you the detailed recipes so you can make it at home. I will definitely be keeping all of the recipes in my routine. I had a flight to take that same evening and the staff even arranged for the taxi to the airport (taxi paid separate) so I wouldn't be stressed about calling a taxi. If you have a chance, I couldn't recommend this more. For the food alone, it's definitely worth it.

Very tasty! B the chef was very patient and she explained all very good with amazing energies!

The market was very interesting and Be was very knowledgeable. The actual cooking was so much fun and our children (10 and 13) were engaged throughout the whole experience and could do everything, no problem. I would highly recommend this as it was enjoyable for all and we got to eat some delicious Thai food at the end!

authentic experience involving local market and plenty of knowlegde. cooking was so much fund and their whole team were absolutely amazing

The market visit, the step by step cooking journey, the staff warmth and care - all of it was impeccable!

Highly professional approach to teaching Thai cooking methods, step by step guide that even I could follow. Cooking your own lunch after visiting an authentic Thai food market is a great experience

What a great experience, really good fun and cannot recommend enough. A real insight into Thai cooking and all the elements and then wrapped up around cooking 4 course meal ! I liked how they also structured it so you can choose your own level of spice ! Highly recommend doing this over the hotel courses !

The place is beautiful and very clean. Be is a great cooking teacher and a wonderful person. She took us to the market and then we cooked a very tasty menu. The food was delicious.😋Thanks again for that incredible expérience.🙏🏻☺️ …

We got taken to the market first and then cooked a variety of dishes that were all delicious. Everything was explained so beautifully and the shop, especially the toilet, is stunning. Would definitely recommend

Everything was over and beyond!! I learned so much!! Always TASTE as you go and NEVER WASTE!! The market was memorable and astounding!! This is a memory I will always cherish!! Thank you guys again!!

Be is amazingly passionate about Thai cuisine and ensuring all participants feel a part of something special. Im not into spicey food but Be was able to show me how to incorporate small amounts to enhance the flavour and experience. I really enjoyed this experience so much and would encourage all to give this a go as part of their time in Phuket! Thanks Be!

Was so interesting going around the local market to learn about the ingredients. Making the food was great, and the food was delicious! Be and her colleagues were lovely! Would highly recommend this cookery morning

I recommend you do not skip this if yoy ever find yourself in Thailand. Everything was so nice from the taxi to our hotel, to the trip to the market (where you see yhings you never thought existed), where you can ask questions about anuthing and everything cause someone who actually kbows, can answear. Lets not forget the cooking class itself, where you have the undivided attention got the cooking. Everyine is so attentif and nice. You get to eat what you cook and they ecen teach you THE RIGHT WAY to eat it 😁 not to mention it s a very nice experience for a couple. Thank you very much!!

B, was a fab Thai chef who really made the experience soo enjoyable 😊 some of the best food I’ve had! Thank you very much

We did and tasted so much food. The class was an absolute pleasure! The market walk was a nice touch to see and smell all the ingredients before cooking them! Thank you!

My husband and I took this class as per suggestion from a friend, and had a blast! I’ve never tried to make Thai food so I surprised myself that my food was not only edible but delicious. All this was thanks to the patience and tutelage of Ms. B! Shoutout also to Mr. S and Mr. N for their help and support too. We started off in the local market with Ms. B providing education and local insights. The class was structured, provided enough assistance to get me on my way, and emphasized independence while balancing time constraints. In that one class we made three dishes and a dessert (not shown). It was filling and we ended up taking some home as leftovers. I’d love to come back and take a class the next time in Phuket Town!

Touring the market in the morning was breathtaking. I loved the interior as well the individual cooking stations. The sauces are labeled and they also explained the utensils used. I was confused on the process of making the dessert but got the hang off it. I'm glad I chose About BE cooking class. It was truly a treary moment seeing the food that I had prepared. Keep up the great, authentic work. Be blessed!

B was very friendly and her explanations were awesome. She led us through the market and took her time with every explanation. I would highly recommend!!!

I had an amazing time with Be and her team - hands down one of my favourite experiences in Phuket. The initial tour of the local market gave us a lens into daily Thai culture. We learned about local ingredients and even had the chance to sample items at various stalls. Following the tour, we made a 4-course meal for lunch that left us with enough food for another meal! I was extremely impressed with how clean, structured, and organized the kitchen and facilities were. I highly recommend this if you have a free morning in Phuket.

Do not eat before, there will be soo much food to eat. Her teaching was wonderful and the food was delicious. We also really enjoyed the market tour. My mom is celiac, Be knew exactly what it meant to be Gluten Free and has all of the sauces needed to accommodate. This made us feel very confident and comfortable.

We did the Tuesday class and Bea was very hospitable, made our day so enjoyable! She was so knowledgable about the food and taught us a lot about Thai culture. We got to eat the food after we made and it all tasted delicious, the ingredients were fresh. We would reccomend this experience to anyone!

Such an amazing experience! Recipes were so easy to follow and Be & team were very informative. Enjoyed it so much! Will be back next time to learn more recipes! Food was also so delicious. So full by the end of the class 😍❤️ …

BE was very informative, patient, and kind. It was great walking around the local market! Tip: If you’re a small eater, bring containers—portions are generous and you won’t want anything to go to waste! Learning the lotus flower filding was fun too!! Transfer to class was seamless aswell. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend a cooking class with the most lovely Miss Be.. everything has been carefully planned and her attention to detail is amazing, we had a fantastic morning leaning about Thai food culture, particularly in this region and then cooking in the wonderful kitchen.

BE the host is awesome. I was a little unwell and they were so accommodating of me. If you are looking for a cooking class, this is the one.

Be is so lovely and so much fun. We enjoy walking through the markets with all the vibrant colors All the staff are so helpful and friendly. Food was delicious!!!! Highly recommend this cooking class!!!!!!

This was such a great experience on a rainy day in phuket - we had an awesome time learning the culture and tricks on how to put together a real Pad Thai, Pad MAK Miang, Kang Som Pla … and Kanom Krok … thx Be and the staff (S and 9)

The time i spend at cooking class in Phuket was so perfect. We had fun and the food we cooked was so delicous. Thanks for all tips and the detailed recipe. Thanks again to B, S and 9

Catered to food allergies easily. We absolutely loved it thanks Be!

Bee and her team are really giving you a deep dive into Thai Cuisine and Kitchen. As a starter we got a pratice lesson in a Food Market Hall where we learned a lot new things about Herbs, Fruits, Spices, Fish and so much more. After that we went back to the AB Cooking Class where we learned the traditional way of Thai Slow Cooking. A Superb Experience and a very resourceful activity, especially during rainy days. Mrs Bee and your team it has been my best Thai Dinner Experience ever!

BE is very attentive with her advice and Knowledges about Thai Cooking. Certainly recommend this cooking course. One word fantastic 👏 👌

From the informative and engaging trip around the local market, through the total hands on, guided cooking lessons, to the joyous farewell, spending the day with Be (and her wonderful staff) is an absolute treat. Was so impressed with the delicious dishes we made and the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere created by About Be. (and totally adaptable - Be personalized the experience where necessary with professionalism and care!) TOTALLY recommend this cooking class, worth every cent paid!

She first showed us the market (which is only open in the morning) and explained to us the different typical ingredients and spices that they use in the Thai cuisine. She was very enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge and the Thai cuisine with us. The cooking part was well prepared and we tasted the different steps of our recipe, which helped us understand what part every ingredient plays. The food was really good and the team reel organised. There was a lot, we were happy that we haven’t had breakfast! I definitely recommend :)

She shared with us her authentic knowledge of Thai food and cooking skills, we feel she will be with us next time we’re cooking for the family at home. We also loved the market tour and learnt so much about the traditional way of life here Phuket. This was a truly special and memorable day. Be’s passion, kindness and wisdom will be a lasting impression of our trip to Thailand ❤️

It is great fun and a great way to learn Thai cooking. Friendly staff could not ask for anything better as an experience

Be, the teacher, was thoughtful, kind and patient with us. She was filled with so much traditional Thai cooking facts and skills whilst still being so much fun! Such great energy! There was so much food we could not finish it all! 10/10 experience and would definitely do it again!

From the morning street markets, to the four fancy meals with step by step instructions! Don't eat your breakfast because the meals are plentiful & filling. About 5 hours of entertainment & fun! Thank you Bee & staff! (Also..... no washing up dishes (staff do it all) just cook & eat!! Thank you 🌻🌸🌻

The host is kind, sweet and a great cook! The tour of the authentic old town Phuket market appealed to every sense. We learned about Thai food and more specifically, Phuket Thai food. We prepared several dishes and of course ate them all! My heart is full after this experience! Thank you Bee and staff!

You can’t not leave Thailand without experiencing this cooking class! Amazing! I will never forget this moment. Thank you for sharing your culture.

Visited as a family of 3 – July 2025 If you’re looking for more than just a typical Thai cooking class – something authentic, personal, and truly memorable – then look no further than ‘About Be’ in Phuket. We joined this class as a family of three, and what we experienced went far beyond our expectations. This wasn’t just about cooking; it was a beautiful immersion into Thai culture, flavors, and hospitality. 🛒 A Thoughtful Start: Visit to the Local Market The day began with a guided trip to a local market – not the touristy kind, but one that felt deeply connected to the community. Be, our host and chef, took time to introduce us to unique herbs, seasonal vegetables, and even some ingredients we’d never seen before. It wasn’t rushed or superficial – she was truly excited to show us the building blocks of Thai cuisine and encouraged us to smell, taste, and ask questions. For our teenager, this was especially eye-opening. 🍳 Cooking in a Professional and Impeccably Clean Space Back at her cooking studio, we were instantly struck by the exceptionally clean and modern kitchen environment. Compared to other cooking classes we’ve tried (which often feel a bit rustic or improvised), this space was in a league of its own. Everything – from the knives to the burners – was high-quality and professionally maintained. The air-conditioned space, generous counter space made it feel like we were cooking on a TV set (in the best way possible). 🥗 Three-Course Thai Lunch: A Fresh, Flavorful Journey We prepared a delicious three-course Thai lunch, each dish thoughtfully selected and beautifully balanced. What stood out the most was Be’s choice of ingredients: ultra-fresh, sometimes lesser-known components that elevated the dishes beyond the usual “pad thai and green curry” routine you find elsewhere. It felt curated – like she wanted us to really understand the depth and diversity of Thai cuisine, not just replicate something from a cookbook. Each course was hands-on, yet relaxed. We never felt rushed or left behind, and Be adjusted her teaching to each of our skill levels. Our teenager was genuinely enjoying the whole process. ❤️ Be: The Heart of It All What makes ‘About Be’ truly exceptional is Be herself. She is warm, generous, and refreshingly sincere. This is not a class where someone recites a script or pushes you toward a souvenir shop. Be is clearly passionate about her craft and genuinely wants to share her knowledge and love of Thai food. She listened, laughed, encouraged, and shared stories about her own cooking journey. You walk away from the experience not just with recipes and a full stomach, but with a real connection – to her, to Thai ingredients, and to the culture. 👨‍👩‍👦 Final Verdict: A True Highlight of Our Trip This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our Phuket holiday. We left with a deeper appreciation of Thai cuisine, new cooking skills, and lasting memories as a family. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a curious beginner, ‘About Be’ offers something very rare in the world of tourist cooking classes: heart, depth, and authenticity. Highly, highly recommended.

Be and her team were amazing, the variety, smell and flavours were something else. Everything was prepared and ready to cook the 4 courses. Be was very knowledgeable about the produce when we went around the market, the fresh food, fish, fruit veg and spices and so clean. I can nor recommend this excursion enough. When we finished cooking we then sat and ate our dishes. So much food but able to take home what we didn't eat. The cooking school was immaculate our own cooking stations, hygiene second to none. I can't express how wonderful this experience was.
