In 2015 Mon had the amazing opportunity to make his dreams come true, open a cooking school and teach Thai cooking on the beautiful island called Koh Lanta in the South of Thailand.
In a short time, the cooking school became the number one cooking school on Koh Lanta with many 5 star reviews and the school expanded with several instructors working side by side.
Our instructors are charismatic chefs who will introduce you in a relaxing and fun way to the secrets of Thai cooking. If you want to know more about our instructors press here!

You will not just follow a recipe but you will develop 'a feeling' for Thai food and master balancing the flavours.
The classes are hands-on, you learn to do everything from scratch. You taste, smell, cut, chop and smash. So when you go home there will be no doubt that you can cook your favorite Thai dishes.
Next to the cooking class area you can find our beautiful resort Green Pepper, and we also have a gorgeous wooden house for rent on the ocean in the Old Town. Find more information here.
Last but not least, check out our YouTube channel Sweet Life Lanta with stories about locals and expats.
We have 3 types of classes available:
We cook 3 dishes; one curry from scratch, an additional main dish and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. Every person joining can choose their two favorite dishes from the list below. So if you're joining with your partner, you both can choose 2 dishes individually, so total 4 dishes.
The price is 1600 baht per person. 7-12 years old, 1200 baht per person. Younger children (0-6) can join with parents free of charge (unless you as a parent would like them to have their own cooking station, then 1200 Baht).
Classes can be booked and paid online through our online booking system,
It’s easy and straightforward. When you book we will ask you to specify:

We offer a free pick up and drop off service from any hotel on Koh lanta included in the price. So it will be great to know in advance where you stay. You can also click the extra "Free pick up & drop off service" on the booking system. See pick-up times below.
We usually cook with chicken and shrimp. But we are able to adapt the food to any special diet, such as vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or gluten-free. Just make sure to let us know about your special diet in advance so we can adapt the groceries accordingly.
Younger kids (0-6 years old) can join for free and cook with the parents. For a young kid who will join with the parents you can click the extra "Free cooking class (child 0-6)" on the booking system.
If you want to book for a child 7-12, it will be the easiest to make 2 separate bookings, one for the adults and one for kids (but for the same day and time). Sorry for the inconvenience.
We will provide you with a recipe book in pdf format of all the dishes we have ever cooked so you can experiment with other dishes after you get home.
Included are the amazing food cooked by you, fruit and there is also water, tea and instant coffee available for you all day.
It is also possible to order delicious freshly ground coffee, beers and soft drinks for additional payment. You can pay cash or with credit card.
We are cooking and eating all day! So please come hungry, have a small or early breakfast or skip it completely if you wake up late. We cook and eat all day, and at the end of the class you will be stuffed!
We offer a free pick up and drop off service from your hotel included in the price. So it will be great to know in advance where are you staying once you book online.
