We traveled in Thailand for 2 weeks and this was by far a highlight!!!! We had so much fun at the market and cooking! The space is so enjoyable and our chef teacher was amazing and funny! So happy we did this

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Wow, that's fantastic to hear! We're absolutely thrilled that your cooking experience with us was such a highlight of your two-week trip to Thailand. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the market visit and the cooking itself, and we're so pleased you appreciated the space and our amazing (and funny!) chef instructor. Thank you so much for sharing your experience

A delicious experience!

They picked me up from my hotel and then our group was driven to a market outside of Chiang Mai. It was a market for locals and very authentic. Our chef (Perm) showed us the different ingredients we would be using and had us smell various herbs/plants. He was so funny but also a wealth of good information. After the market, we drove to the farm. We went into the garden and harvested more of the ingredients we would be using, and chef explained how things are grown. With the expert guidance of chef, we prepared 6 different items - 3 of them were set items (everyone made those same 3) but the other 3 had various options you could choose from to suit your own preferences, which was great. The food turned out amazing! Could I make any of these recipes again on my own? Probably not, but I’m happy that I got to assist in the creation at least this time. We were given ebooks with the recipes, so I will definitely try to recreate them when back home.

Come hungry and ready to eat! We had a great time cooking in Chiang Mai. They picked us up on time from our hotel and shuttled us to the local market, where they taught us about what we would eat and let us have some free time to wander. The cooking class was a lot of fun. Before we started to cook, we got to pick our long beans and butterfly pea leaves and check out how rice grows. The cooking was a lot of fun. If you do it in the evening, I recommend bug spray as it is open air. The bugs weren't too bad, but I am very sensitive to them and wish I knew this ahead of time. The mango sticky rice was so fun to make. We ended up buying a physical copy of the cookbook so we could take the recipes back home to our families.
