This was a truly amazing experience. Going to the market was a great way to start. The education in ingredients was very helpful. Sky and Noodle were great teachers. Very knowledgeable, organized, fluent in English, great sense of humor. The cooking instructions, the setting for cutting chopping and cooking were perfect. Go hungry as you will be able to eat what you cook!

What a wonderful experience! Sky was such an incredible teacher. From explaining everything at the market to the step-by-step cooking class. The food was delight and very approachable. Our class was just the two of us that day so it allowed us to have great conversation with Sky, which we will cherish, as it added so much to the experience. We highly recommend this class! THANK YOU SKY!

    We had an amazing experience taking a cooking class in Chiang Mai, and our host, Sky, made it truly special. She was incredibly funny, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. Her energy kept the class fun and engaging from start to finish. Sky is also very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining each step in a way that was easy to follow, even for beginners. She was always happy to answer questions and share helpful tips along the way. The best part, of course, was the food—we were able to create some absolutely delicious dishes that we’re excited to try making again at home! If you’re in Chiang Mai and thinking about doing a cooking class, we highly recommend this experience—especially if you get Sky as your host. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you, Sky!

    Yummy Tasty Kitchen Delicious Fun

    Allison_S, Jul 2026
    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.

    This was a truly amazing...

    Amazing cooking class and market experience learned so much! Great teacher and so much good food, would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys Thai food!

    Thai cooking in Chiang Mai

    Claire_B, Jan 2026
    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.

    The Best Cooking Experience!

    Marilyn_Y, Jan 2026
    We started at the market to learn about produce, sauces, and other ingredients. Then we had the class in which we made 5 dishes. Sky was the best instructor. We came away with the ability to try making the dishes at home. Our family will have a Thai food holiday!

    Amazing Experience!

    I learned so much. Sky is a great teacher and quite funny. I really enjoyed the class and would recommend it.

    A gastronomic adventure!

    Frank_I, Oct 2025
    Spectacular experience. Always enjoyed Thai food so learning the various ingredients in the market place and how to put the ingredients together was a gastronomic adventure and will for sure gave me more appreciation of the complex cooking process needed. I am now inspired to try out the recipes I learned. Kudos to Sky, our cooking class teacher.

    Delicious!

    Galit_P, Jul 2025
    This is a great experience. You make multiple courses and get to eat a lot of food which was delicious. They are very organized and teach you a lot about Thai cuisine. Very worthwhile including for those who don’t consider themselves to be cooks!

    So much fun!

    Michael_E, May 2025
    This was so much fun! You shouldn’t definitely do this whole in Chiang Mai. Food was awesome and the host was so much fun. 10/10!

    Excellent Thai cooking class

    Julie_D, Jan 2025
    Fabulous experience. Very informative and great fun. Fabulous experience to eat your own cooked Thai food.

    Fantastic time at the Yummy Tasting Cooking School!

    Pete_S, Jan 2025
    Had a fantastic time at both the market and the class itself. At the market, we learned quite a bit about the ingredients we would be using that morning and then we were off to class. The food that we made was so tasty. We ate so much that we didn't even eat again that day. Great instruction by Sky, and her crew worked diligently between courses to clean up our stations and get us ready for the next one. Definitely recommended activity while you are here in Chiang Mai.

    I felt like a chef

    Bobbie_S, Aug 2024
    The food was fantastic and we are so excited to get the recipes and cook some Thai food when we return home. Sky was an excellent guide and answered our many questions. You prepare more food than you can eat so come hungry.

    Great fun and so yum

    elisha_s, Aug 2024

    It was a fun experience with lots of laughs and great food! I found Thai food to be fairly easy to make and it’s delicious! Noodle (teacher, driver) has a great sense of humor.

    Great!

    Angelique_L, Aug 2025
    It was a great experience! I loved that morning cooking! She took the time to explain the different foods to me, to show me how to choose them, how I could use them. What a good thing it was in my body. I highly recommend it. ( Ps: do not eat before going to cook. We eat after each dish ...) I had a really good time!
