What are people saying about Chiang Mai

Bianca_O, Jul 2026

Sensational

Family of 5. Went on the farm cooking tour - sensational facilities and organic massive garden. Pond, waterwheel, chooks, geese. Picked up and went to the market in the city. City cooking also available - but so glad we elected to do the farm as the serenity and lushness of the countryside was stunning. And we had the whole open space to ourselves. Sooooo much food. You get to select what you will make: 5 courses and so much variety. We made them all and shared as a family. Seamless, smooth behind the scenes facilitation meant it was engaging the whole day. Given a gorgeous book of every recipe and simple step by step guides with photos of ingredients to recreate at home. 9-4pm door to door including all driving (approx 40 mins each way in air conditioned van). Marium was an amazing host and teacher from beginning to end.

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

Busola_O, Jun 2026

A Must-Do Sunrise Temple Tour

This was an amazing sunrise tour and one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Blue, was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the morning. His energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. There is no better time to visit these temples than early in the morning. The sites were peaceful and uncrowded, allowing us to truly appreciate the beautiful atmosphere and serene surroundings. One of the most memorable parts of the tour was meditating and listening to the monks' chants, which created a very special and authentic experience. The tour was perfectly paced and never felt rushed. We had plenty of time at each temple to explore, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Blue, for making it such a wonderful and memorable morning!

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.

Chiang Mai: Best Seller! Doi Suthep & Wat Umong Night Tour

Virginia_H, Feb 2026

Cool evening air visiting significant temples.

We were a small group of twelve with our guide Ying and driver. Evening was a cooler time to visit the temples and Ying shared a lot of very interesting information about the temples and the people and communities that established them and Chiang Mai in general. Well worth taking this tour as the temples are fascinating and the view of Chiang Mai is stunning. Friendly, informative, relaxed. Thank you

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!

Sunset Thai Cooking with Grandma - Farm & Evening Feast

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!
