This makes Ya’s Cookery School Krabi ideal for any traveler searching for a Thai cooking course suitable for all levels.
Cultural Immersion Beyond the Food

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

Customer Testimonials
Excellent Phuket City Tour
We had a great day exploring Phuket with Phuket Travel Store. The guide was professional and friendly, sharing many interesting insights about local life and culture. We visited Wat Chalong, Phuket Old Town, beautiful viewpoints, and local markets with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The transport was comfortable, and the whole tour was well organized.
Best Phi Phi Islands Tour
We joined the Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands tour last Friday and it was absolutely perfect! The booking process was super easy, pickup was right on time, and the service throughout the day was excellent. Everything was well organized, the crew was friendly, and the experience was very enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Phuket Travel Store as a trustworthy and professional tour and travel agent!
Wonderful experience with elephants!
This was one of the most beautiful trips we've ever made. The elephants really live here species-appropriate - no riding, no coercion, just peace and respect. We could feed them, take them for a walk and experience them up close. The atmosphere was totally relaxed, nothing was overflowing or touristic exaggerated. Also the guides were super friendly and told a lot about the animals and the background of the project. You can tell immediately: Here, the welfare of animals is paramount. For those who love animals and value responsible tourism, this is an absolute must. Thanks to Phuket Travel Store for this special experience!

4 Insel Krabi Tour…
Wir haben die Krabi 4 Island Tour gemacht. Von Anfang bis Ende war alles sehr gut organisiert. Unser Reiseleiter und alle Crew Mitglieder waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Vorab war immer sehr kurzfristig ein Ansprechpartner für Rückfragen erreichbar. Für mich gibt es nichts zu kritisieren.
Super toller Ausflug !!!
Wir haben die Similan Early Bird Tour hier gebucht und waren begeistert! Dank des frühen Starts waren wir an den schönsten Spots fast allein. Traumhafte Strände, kristallklares Wasser und tolle Organisation. Vielen Dank für die freundliche Beratung und das unvergessliche Erlebnis!
Ausflüge über Phuket travel store einfach spitze
Wir waren in Phuket und hatten Ausflüge vom Hotel angeboten bekommen, zufällig aber auch über Facebook Vorschläge von Phuket travel store. Wir haben dann über WhatsApp super easy kommuniziert und wirklich schnelle, kompetente und hilfreiche Antwort bekommen! Buchen war ebenso easy und einfach gleich über WhatsApp! Super Preis Leistung. Vorallem die Leistung hat dann überzeugt! Abholung im hotel überpünktlich und freundlich! Ausflug selbst ein Traum....Wir haben die Kho Phi Phi early bird Tour gebucht und es war super. Die nächste Tour ist bereits gebucht, es geht zum james bond Felsen.
