Things to do in Phuket, Thailand: The Best Food & Drink

May 18, 2021 Roger Rusk

Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

Spent the day cooking amazing Thai food right next to an idyllic beach with amazing views. Fantastic instructors James and Get made the cooking instruction really fun and I learnt how to cook Thai Green curry totally from scratch and It tasted lovely. We also cooked 3 other dishes all lovely, it was a really fun day I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone even if your not a very good cook. Good luck to everyone at Phuket Thai Cookery School you deserve to succeed. Fantastic ????

While staying in Patong I really wanted to learn more about Thai cuisine so read lots of reviews on Thai cooking classes and really like VJ’s. As someone who loves to cook & watches all cooking show & loves to read cookbooks ???? The biggest draw card was the markets before to pick up the produce for the dishes we were to make. So I booked online the day before & got an email confirming the morning class (market included) also confirmed a pick up from my hotel in Patong. 10:30 pick up from Patong with a lovely driver & air conditioned van. About a 20mins drive to kata beach (beautiful coast drive) Then to the markets ???????? VJ meets the group there and walks us around explaining all sorts of ingredients that are used in Thai cooking, truely loved learning the correct Thai produce. Back to the cooking studio (just down the road from the market) we are welcomed into an air conditioned prep room with everything we need to make our 4 dishes. We are offered coffee, water & fruit throughout the class. First we prepared our ingredients for Tom yum, pad Thai & chicken & basil. Each ingredient was explained. Then we learnt about curry paste. I made green curry paste, from scratch using a mortar & pestle, thankfully VJ’s staff helped me, very talented ladies ???????????????? We then went to our cooking stations and started with Tom yum Goong (prawns) so much fun! This was the best Tom yum I’ve ever eaten ???????? Next was Pad Thai with chicken, another delicious dish. We sat down to eat these two dishes after each cook. Then we made the stir fried chicken basil, this I loved. This really made me appreciate using the right ingredients really make or breaks a dish. Last was our curries (some made red curry paste) the method of cooking this dish was different to what I have used at home & something I will be using with all my curries. We then sat down to eat our last two dishes. The staff had the prep room ready with fresh steamed jasmine rice. A perfect way to enjoy our dishes. Boy was I full! Make sure you don’t eat breakfast beforehand. All recipes emailed to our class including all Thai ingredients and understandings. I was returned to my hotel after 2:30pm.. great way to spend my morning. Thank you Vj and team ❤️❤️
