Many guests say it feels like joining a real Thai household rather than a tourist activity. This cultural depth turns the class into one of the most enriching cultural activities in Krabi.
Fresh Ingredients for Vibrant Thai Cuisine
Great Thai food begins with fresh ingredients, and at Ya’s Cookery School Krabi, students learn to select essential components such as lemongrass, kaffir lime, Thai basil, galangal, bird’s-eye chilies, coconut cream, and fresh vegetables. Understanding ingredient selection is key to mastering Thai cuisine, and the school places strong emphasis on teaching students how freshness affects flavor, aroma, and texture. Many participants appreciate learning how to substitute ingredients once they return home, making the experience practical and useful.
Expert Guidance from Professional Thai Chefs

Geweldig dag Surin Islands
Wij hebben de early Surin islands tour gedaan vanuit Khao Lak. Van begin tot heteinde was het fantastisch georganiseerd. Bij aankomst stond een verrassend ontbijt voor ons klaar, waarna we klokslag 07:00 uur vertrokken. De gids, kapitein en zijn bemanning waren geweldig en behulpzaam. Wij zijn de hele dag ontzorgd en kwamen niets te kort. Eten en drinken ( niet alleen water!) in overvloed.
