My wife and I were in Phuket and wanted to take a break from all the beaches and island and do something different. We saw several different "cooking schools", Pum was the cheapest of them. We took their class where we each learned 3 dishes each. The instructor's English was good enough. They were real nice there. After making each... more

I recently did the 90 minute thai cooking class at Pums, in Patong. Dishes taught were green curry, tom yum and tom khai goong. We first went through all of hte ingredients, and discussed what could be used as alternatives if you couldn't source the exact herb at your local market. We then went through how to make the green... more

Wow - this is my favourite place to eat in Thailand and i have been lucky enough to do the cooking school twice now - and once i was even taught by Pum. Her focus is on fast easy and fresh food - which is something we can all do with. Everything, and i mean everything, i have ever eaten... more

I thought it was time a wrote this review as i did the class in Sept 08. I can't praise the staff enough at Pum's in Patong they are so warm and welcoming and it is very hands on. The School is actually part of the Restaurant so you can have a meal there or do the classes or both.... more

I love cooking, but do not have too much experience cooking Thai food, so I thought "why not try this out?" I am so glad that I dragged my husband along to try it with me because surprisingly, he too enjoyed the class! You can take anywhere from a 30 min. class to an all day class. We chose the... more

We just returned from our trip to Thailand. While in Phuket we happened upon Pum Thai Restaurant & Cooking School. Seeing that we are "foodies" we decided to stop in and pick up one of Pum's cookbooks to bring back to the states with us. While inside we ended up taking her 2 dish Mini-me class and the experience was... more

Reading all the positive reviews here, I had looked forward to taking the cooking lesson. I went into the restaurant/school myself to book myself a 5-hour private course, which cost me B3750 (about US$100). They seemed they have offered someone else a ride to/from their hotel, but did not offer me the same. I arrived the restaurant at 11:00 as... more

Hi all, I was in PhiPhi island and follow the french guide book to go to eat at Pum. I did not know it is a cooking school as well. The food is very clean and very good. Phad goong was so nice not oily at all so that I asked the manager to learn one dish 'it is called... more

One of the highlights during our stay in Phuket last year was the 'Pum's Little Pigtails" cooking class; a private 5 hour class that started out quite nicely when we were picked up in nearby Karon just before lunch. After arriving at the nice little restaurant in the middle of busy Patong we were introduced to our teacher Pui. Pui... more
