Authentic Thai cooking class!
My wife and I had an amazing time with Sky. She is an amazing teacher and her humor matched our style. We learned a lot about the ingredients that make Thai cuisine unique especially at the local market. Cooking each meal was very easy under her tutelage. Made us feel very welcomed and friendly. The food was delicious and got some souvenirs to remember the class!

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.

Beautiful and...
Beautiful and enlightening tour of a temple with an ex-monk which gave fantastic explanation about Buddhism and everything related to it, explained the practices in the temple. At Doi Suthep he clearly knew everyone in that temple and treated all of them with respect - even the temple dogs who followed him up from the car park for treats! We got to participate in plenty of Buddhist traditions in the temple as well as the alms giving and receiving a blessing from a monk. Definitely recommend it even if the weather doesn't allow to see the sunrise!

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.

Beautiful setting, lush landscaping, clean, air conditioned learning/dining space worth the extra money. A tour of the food market as well as a hands-on tour of the gardens very educational. Our instructor was fun and knowledgeable, although she moved at a rapid pace. Dishes were all tasty and left us full. Recipe book was a nice gift.

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.

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.

Fabulous experience! Highly recommended.
This was the best experience my husband and I had in Chiang Mai (which itself is a wonderful place). This cooking class includes a visit to a local market to learn about and purchase the different ingredients needed for the dishes to be prepare.d The class is very well organized and taught by experienced, lovely people. You can choose what you would like to make from a menu, and are in control of how much spice you prefer. We met great people and learned a great deal about Thai cooking and dishes.

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

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!

Her warm, cordial manner made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Kunmai’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care truly elevated the tour and made it unforgettable

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.
