What are people saying about Chiang Mai

Danyal_R, Aug 2026

Excellent experience

The teaching ability at the kitchen was excellent. The guides spoke excellent English. With so many guides helping, it was impossible to make a mistake. Everything was also clean, efficient, and informative. We were able to eat and rest in an air conditioned room in between preparation. They even had a cute dog to play with named Krapow. It was my family's favorite experience in Chiang Mai, and I highly recommend booking.

Thai cooking class

Our guide, driver and cooking teacher named “A” was an all around fun and happy guy. We were first introduced to Thai ingredients in the local markets and then driven to the farm. The best part was that we individually get to pick our own 5 course meal: appetizer, noodle/rice dish, soup, curry and dessert. Everything was well organized and delicious. Highly recommend.

Yummy Tasty Kitchen Delicious Fun

We had to switch our reservation last minute and not only did sky pick us up at our hotel, but she was kind, personable and so fun the entire morning! The class was very knowledgeable as we went to the market first to collect ingredients and learn about Thai cuisine. The food we cooked was delicious and there was so much to eat, sky bagged the rest to take home with us! The class was one of our favorite memories of our trip and we are looking forward to cooking Thai food when we get home.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep spiritual Sunrise Tour with an Ex-monk

LINDA_O, May 2026

Early start but worth every minute

This was a great tour and a wonderful introduction to the temples outside the Old City. It's an early start but so worth it to see the sunrise on Doi Suthep and how the monks go about their morning rituals. Tom was a great guide. Would definitely recommend.

Worth the night time experience

This tour is amazing if you want to experience these temples at night and learn more about Chiang Mai’s culture. Our guide was amazing and make sure we were getting the local history of the places we visited. At the end of our trip we left one of our belongings in the van, when we contacted the tour guide, she made sure it was easy for us to collect it later.

Cooking Evening Class Chiang Mai Visit Organic Garden and Market

Hazel_I, Mar 2026

I absolutely loved the...

I absolutely loved the cooking class. They even have their own garden where they grow fresh herbs, and a visit to the local market was included, which made the whole experience feel really authentic. I’d recommend booking the transfers if you’re staying within the Chiang Mai district, it makes everything much easier. The female team were incredibly hospitable, and although our group was quite small and intimate, it actually made the experience even more enjoyable. You can attend as part of a group or solo like I did (I’m the Black woman in the picture), and it was easy to connect with others. I met a lovely French family who were heading straight to the airport afterwards. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this for an authentic Thai experience. The portion sizes were generous; I couldn’t finish everything but was able to take the rest away. Just a small note: they do have two dogs on-site, but they’re put away during the cooking session in case anyone is uncomfortable around dogs.

Half Day Evening Cooking Class with Market Tour in Chiang Mai

Jonathan_W, Feb 2026

I'm a Thai Chef now!

Imagine being whisked away on a culinary chariot—on time, mind you—to a kingdom of flavors! The queens of this realm? Noodle and Sky, aptly named, who first guided us through a vibrant market of ingredients that practically sang to be cooked. Back at the school, we were handed the keys to the culinary kingdom: five dishes—appetizers, soup, main, dessert—like being the chef of your own feast. Prep was minimal but hands-on enough to feel like Thai cuisine sorcerers! The meal? A five-course triumph! Our group of six was like a mini foodie family, and the whole experience was smooth as coconut milk. 10/10—I’d wield a wok with them again!

Patricia_D, Jan 2026

Nice Evening Experience

Did the evening experience and it was a nice break away from the city. Loved the farm to table approach and cooking our favorite dishes as well as provided the recipes for later use. Definitely built confidence and took away the perceived complexity of making the dishes we love so much and has us excited to replicate on our own in our home country!
