Open in november 2008 Smile koh Mak Thai cooking school is run by a friendly and always smiling young Thai women " Leng " . She was previously teacher at "Blue Lagoon Thai cooking school " in koh chang so she have a lot of experience teaching ;
During our 4 hours cooking class , we had the opportunities to learn 4 dishes ...and had a lot of fun !!! We had the chance to enjoy a great sunset too , which added a lot to the pleasure of cooking ( and tasting too !)
I would highly recommend this experience ...if you like thai food and thai cooking of course
You 'd better email her before or phone her as the classes are organized for 4 people maximum

yummy

The well-known Monkey Shock chain of
restaurants spreading throughout Bangkok,
This Monkey shock at Ko Mak is the 4th . Other Monkey Shock are located in Satorn road. They provide you truly delicious Thai dishes and Western food in amazing surroundings.

Yeah! I have to admit that it will cost you big amount for one meal. But believe me ,,it’s worthy. ;-) Most of time I stayed there, I sat down relaxing eating there.

Favorite Dish: In pic is my first lunch there. Rice served in heart shaped. (so cute) Yellow-like dish is crispy shrimp omelet(must try). In pot is Kang-Som ( bit spicy ..very spicyyyy)
Really yummy.
