Wonderful experience!!
Incredible experience. Highly recommended. Garnet could not have been a sweeter, kinder or more helpful instructor/host. We made three truly delicious Thai dishes with a mango sticky rice for dessert. Come hungry. All recipes given at the end. They thought of everything!! Loved it!!

Cookery class with organic market visit
Great communication and prompt pick up. We were in a small group of 11 people so very sociable and easy to follow our guide,Balloon’s,instructions. The organic market was a great experience to start the activity with so many different fresh produce on sale and we chose our menus for the day. The experience of cooking under guidance was great fun plus you get to eat your creation.Overall a really enjoyable andinteresting activity to take part in

Authentic Thai & Akha cooking!
This is a must do if you enjoy cooking and food! Best cooking class I’ve ever taken anywhere in world! Take the morning class so you can experience the marketplace- you’ll start your food tasting experience there- and go hungry!! We made 10 different dishes- all excellent. You Aso leave with a professional cookbook!

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!

Good cooking class
Good cooking class lots of choice of what to cook. Staff were helpful , it was a little regimented but well organised . Didn’t get told they couldn’t pick us up from our hotel until a few days before even though I put our hotel in the booking months ago.

Thai cooking in Chiang Mai
It was amazing! Sky was the teacher and she was simply outstanding!
I did a half-day cooking class in Chiang Mai with Sky and three wonderful young men from Germany, and it was absolutely brilliant. From the moment we went to the local market to choose fresh ingredients, to returning to the cooking school and preparing the dishes, everything was top-notch. The food was incredible, the experience was so much fun, and we learned far more than we expected. Such a memorable morning — I highly, highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.

Perfect introduction to Thai food and cooking
Incredibly well organized cooking class with enthusiastic instructors. Every dish was very tasty. You can adjust the level of spice. We could not finish everything we made. I highly recommend this tour. Our teacher, Tida, was very helpful and could be a stand up comic

Incredible temples,...
Incredible temples, driver was friendly. The drive up to Doi Suthep was very curvy so maybe bring some meds if needed. The view from the temple was incredible, especially seeing the city at night. Everyone staying in Chiang Mai should experience this. 10/10!

What a great night in Chiang Mai!
Jay did an excellent job guiding us through various street food markets. We tried multiple dishes that were all delicious. He also provided us with a handout containing key phrases and dishes that we could use during the tour but also on other days. So thoughtful and handy!

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!

Excellent food tour
My tour was with Sawitchaya and was a fantastic guide. I am vegetarian and she excellently choose dishes and restaurants that catered to that. She is very knowledgeable about Chiang Mai and was able to give historical and culinary context to our meals. Would highly recommend this tour.

Easy and fun cooking day
We loved this opportunity and the guidance that Gift gave us. The van picked everyone up-our hotel was outside the range so had a generic pickup inside the city center. We then went to a market and Gift pointed out different food items and talked about how they tasted or were cooked including the different types of rice. We then had time to explore where we purchased some spices and some fruits to try. After we went to the school where we started to cook, everything was pre portioned out and some things we could cut, the curry paste we made ourselves, but everything was very easily prepped-even if you didn’t know how to cook you could do this. We toured the garden learning about different Thai herbs and vegetables and then continued to cook, having opportunities to eat along the way until the end when we had our curry and noodles dishes with the dessert together. All the staff were super helpful and everything turned out tasty! We’re excited to have access to the recipe book to cook more at home

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Fiery and overflowing with flavor, Northern Thai cuisine is considered one of Asia’s best. Creamy noodle soups, spicy sausages, and sweet-and-sour salads characterize Chiang Mai’s culinary scene, which differs from the rest of Thailand. Chiang Mai cooking classes let you delve deeper into the region’s culinary culture by showing you how to create authentic dishes using traditional Thai tools and ingredients. While the taste on your tongue might fade, your new-found knowledge of how to make khao soi (curry noodle soup) and tam khanun (jackfruit salad) will last much longer.
