Here are three commonly asked questions for each specified subject related to Parawan's Thai Home Cooking Classes on Koh Tao, along with suggested answers:
Q1: How do I book a cooking class?
A1: You can easily book a cooking class through our website by navigating to the 'Classes' section, and booking there or using one of the booking forms on the website or visit my booking site and selecting your preferred date and time, and filling out the booking form, but first if you are planning on joining a Group Class I suggest you check if a menu has been already selected for the time and date you are looking to take the class here on my Google Calendar.
Q2: What is the cancellation policy for bookings?
A2: I offer a full refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours prior to the class. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refundable, but you can reschedule for another date using the link on your email up to 2 hours before the start of the class.
Q3: Can I book a private class?
A3: Yes, I offer private classes for individuals or groups. Please contact us directly to discuss availability and pricing for online sessions via WhatsApp on +66 87511 4654.
Q1: What types of dishes will I learn to cook?
A1: In our classes, you can learn to prepare various traditional Thai dishes, such as Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Tom Yum Soup. You can see the complete list of dishes you can pick from for private and online classes and if you are the first person to book in for a Group class here and then you can select the dishes at the time of booking.
Q2: How long does each cooking class last?
A2: Each cooking class typically lasts around 3 to 4 hours, depending on the dishes being prepared as some dishes like Thai curries take longer as we will also make the curry paste and the number of participants. With most Thai dishes, the preparation time is longer than the cooking time.
Q3: Are the classes suitable for all skill levels?
A3: Yes! Our cooking classes cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced cooks. I provide detailed instructions and support throughout the cooking process.
Q1: What payment methods do you accept?
A1: I accept several payment methods, including credit cards via Stripe (usually just for the deposit due to the fees), and cash payments in Thai Baht.
Q2: Is a deposit required to secure my booking?
A2: A deposit isn't essential; however, I do recommend confirming your booking as soon as possible to ensure your preferred menu, date, and time are available. I take a deposit as I shop for the class ingredients before the classes.
Q3: Are there any additional fees or charges?
A3: The price listed on our website includes all materials and ingredients needed for the cooking class if you are taking a cooking class in person with me on Koh Tao. If you are taking an online class then you will need to buy the ingredients and any additional equipment you need.
Q1: Can I choose the menu items for a group class?
A1: Yes, if you book a group class, the first person to confirm their booking can select three dishes from our menu options. Check if a menu has been selected for a Group class on our Selected menus calendar.
Q2: Are vegetarian or vegan options available?
A2: Yes, I offer vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian options. Please let us know your dietary preferences when booking so I can accommodate you.
Q3: How far in advance can I select my menu items?
A3: You can select your menu items at the time of booking. If you have specific requests or questions about the menu, please feel free to reach out to us.
Then you can either send me an email using the contact form below or you can message me on messenger using the link on the bottom right of the screen or you can WhatsApp me using the link at the top left of the screen.
We can make all the menu items as Vegetarian or Vegan just let us know when you book in or select the dishes that you wish to cook.
We hope to see you soon to cook some fantastic Thai food here on Koh Tao or online if you can't make it here.
The location of Parawan's Thai Cooking Class is actually at my home which is in Sairee on Koh Tao.
Parawan’s Thai Cooking Class is located at my home in Sairee Village, Koh Tao — just a short 10-minute walk from Sairee Beach!
If you're already staying in Sairee, chances are you can walk here easily. If you're coming from elsewhere on the island, you may want to rent a scooter, bicycle, or take a taxi.
We often recommend Oli's Bike Rentals — they’ll even pick you up from your accommodation when you rent a scooter.
You can get directions to my Thai Cooking School on Koh Tao.
When I first started teaching Thai food, I taught in my home kitchen. But in March 2020, I transformed the rooftop of my house into a purpose-built cooking school.
Now, I can host up to 7 or 8 people in a group class while keeping my home and work life separate — all in one lovely space designed for sharing Thai cooking with visitors from all over the world.
We’re located in a quiet street in Sairee, close to many popular places including:
🏨 Taco Shack Hostel, Lucky House, Coco Palm Hotel, Aiya Resort, Silver Sands Resort, Summer Guesthouse, Live In Leaf Hostel, and 248 Street Hostel
☕ Blue Shark Brunch Café, 995 Roasted Duck, Hippo Burger Bistro, Mingle Bagels, and Morning View Bistro
🧘 The Reborn Yoga Studio, Koh Tao Gym, Ya D Pharmacy, Jitsin Laundry, and Sairee Beach
Whether you're staying near Walking Street, Sairee Beach, or one of the nearby hostels, we're just a short walk or ride away. If you’ve searched for "Thai cooking class near me", you're in the right place.
If you’re starting at the main crossroads in Sairee where you’ll find The Brother Bar, Red Pharmacy, and 7-Eleven:
Head inland (away from the beach), opposite Red Pharmacy and 7-Eleven
Turn left at Asia Resort
Follow the road around until you pass Buchai Village and a few small convenience stores
Turn left just after those shops
Go down the road past Jitsin Laundry on the left
Take the next right (you’ll see a small sign with my cooking school logo)
My house is the second-to-last on the left, with a black fence. It’s hard to miss!
If you're having any trouble, feel free to reach out via the Contact page, or message me using the Messenger or WhatsApp links at the bottom of the page. I’ll make sure you get here in time for your delicious cooking adventure!
