Pick up was easy to organize and timely. Facility was immaculate; everything was so clean and beautiful! The food was incredible, all the ingredients were so fresh and tasty. Great instructors made the lesson very easy to follow and they tidied our stations between each dish for efficient cooking. Super fun experience, would definitely come again if Im in Chiang Mai!

Brilliant afternoon learning how to cook Thai dishes, Roger was amazing very informative and great with his instructions and ideas on how to cook traditional Thai dishes

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!

This is a must do for anyone traveling in Thailand. It’s a great way to connect with culture and have an amazing meal while learning about the food and culture.
Do not pass this up!!

This was a wonderful experience! The instructor was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and clearly a skilled chef. He was also funny and a good teacher. The grounds were beautiful and they had a lot of the ingredients we used in our dishes on-site in their gardens, which were able to tour. It was nice to have individual stations for each person and to have the opportunity to select your preferred protein for each course. They also provided us with local drinks (e.g., Thai tea) and free water with the option to purchase beer. Pick up and drop off at our hotels was also a nice touch and very smooth. Note: The description for the experience was inaccurate since we did not go to a market to buy our ingredients (instead we toured their gardens where they grow the herbs and vegetables for many of the dishes) and there were 12 people in our group instead of 8. However, neither of these discrepancies negatively impacted our experience.

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our whole trip! The farm was beautiful and our guide, Garnet, was so much fun. She gave us a tour of the farm and let us try the fresh herbs they grow there. We learned so much about the traditional Thai dishes we made. The instruction was very thorough and the food was delicious! Very highly recommend, great memories!
Nico_K, Nov 2024
Really good and tasteful food. The whole farm is wonderful. Only a bit too comercial and staff not so friendly.

We booked this cooking class last minute and it did not disappoint! The property was so beautiful and the tour was great! Jimmie our chef leader was knowledgeable and funny! He made this an experience we won’t forget! The food was delicious and it was fun!

So well organized, fun, excellent instruction, great experience. I was a little nervous because I need to eat gluten free, but it was no issue at all. Shortly after arriving they asked about allergies and when I said GF they replaced the sauce sauce at my cooking station with gluten free soy sauce. When special ingredientes were needed it was made very clear what was GF and what wasn’t. Others were vegetarian which also seemed very easy to manage. I learned a lot, ate a lot, and had a great time.
Katie_H, Feb 2024
Super fun cooking class and beautiful property for the course! They walk you through the garden and tell you about each ingredient, and they even send you the recipe so you can cook it on your own later! Would recommend!
Debbie_B, Jan 2024
What an amazing class. Learned si much as we explored the organic garden and the food we was excellent. Joy was helpful, funny, kind and so knowledgeable. Best teacher ever. The grounds and setting are sooo lovely. Wish I had time to come back!
Duane_B, Nov 2023
We had a great time with easy transportation, a great menu selection for four courses, good instruction, and a fun group to cook with. The gardens here are beautiful and you learn just how much they really grow and use locally - it’s impressive. If you want a break from the city, good food (or blame yourself as the chef), and an all around fun time, I’d recommend this.

My husband and I enjoyed this cooking class a lot! We had a choice of chicken, shrimp, or vegetarian for a 1) soup dish, 2) a curry dish, 3) pad Thai.
First, we chose what we wanted to cook and while our equipment was being prepared, we got some time to wander the grounds a little bit. They have a cute setup for lots of pictures.
Then, we were shown the gardens where all the ingredients we cooked with are organically grown and even got to feed some chickens.
It was a cook a dish and then eat right away so it can be enjoyed fresh. I was in awe that I could cook something so delicious!
First we made curry paste and set it aside. Then we made soup, pad Thai, and then the curry with mango sticky rice for dessert. Water was free all night.
Our cooking school teacher, Anne, was great! She was knowledgeable about all the ingredients, gave clear instructions, and was personable and funny. The only suggestion I would make is if she was not demonstrating, to give the directions in the middle of the class versus at the end. I was farthest from the demo table and sometimes, the directions were given so fast, I couldn’t keep up. It was awesome that the school provides a QR code to download all the recipes and more.

Everything! The pick up was on time and comfortable. The cooking facility and farm is beautiful. The food was delicious and the chef was very clear and helpful. Grandma’s Cooking School is by far the best cooking class I’ve taken in Chiang Mai! My only criticism is that it was so much food, we could barely move after. 10/10 would recommend.
David_O, Oct 2023
This cooking class experience was top notch! We were picked up promptly at our hotel and then had a 30 minute ride to a farm outside of Chiang Mai. Once we arrived we met our chef and she gave us a quick tour of the property before we began. We had about 10 minutes to grab a water, soda, or beer (soda and beer are extra) and roam the property. Afterwards we put on our aprons and hats, and she took us on a tour through the garden. We were able to see so many ingredients being grown locally and even taste them (lemongrass, holy basil, lemon basil, sawtooth coriander, ginseng, kafir lime trees, galangal, etc.). She explained the history of each ingredient and how some of them are used for hair/body care which was super interesting.
Afterwards, we started cooking and all of the techniques and and steps were explained in a very clear, concise, and easy to digest way. We were all cared for and helped if and when we ever needed it (I don’t know about you but cooking over a huge flame in a REAL wok can be quite intimidating). In the end, all of our dishes came out divine and everyone has an absolutely exciting time.
I highly recommend opting for the Khao Soi, Tom Kha Gai with shrimp, and Pad Thai with shrimp. We also made probably one of the best versions of mango sticky rice I’ve ever had.
This was one of the top highlights of our honeymoon (stayed in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket). I will remember this experience for a lifetime and any of you who are considering it HAVE to book it! Let this be your sign from gate :)

We had a great time with Brian as our teacher!
We started the class with a short walk around the farm, smelling & sampling different herbs. When coming back to the class, we had the opportunity to make 4 different dishes. Each one tasted better than the next and Brian was a great teacher!
Overall, our group had a great time, and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Chiang Mai!

My husband, son and I all
Participated in the class. We had a great time. The staff was really nice and so organized. It was one of the favorite things we’ve done on our trip and the food we made was amazing. Would highly recommend!
KellyCummins, May 2023
Was a great experience! Enjoyed the instruction, and the other travelers taking the class. We so much fun definitely recommend.
ZEE_N, May 2023
Great afternoon learning how to cook a new cuisine and tasting the food we made. Our head chef was friendly, answered all our questions patiently, was funny and made sure all of us had a great time. A field trip into their organic farm was interesting and loved learning about as well as smelling and tasting the fresh ingredients grown by the cooking school.
The class is outdoors, so it is very hot and humid during the experience, but totally worth it:)
Giovanni_D, Feb 2023
Wonderful experience, everything was very well organised and the settings are beautiful. Thanks Natasha, you were an outstanding host!
Cornelia_O, Feb 2023
Great experience! Brian was fabulous, so patient with all of us and he has a good sense of humor. Everything was so well organised. One really is immersed in the experience, didn’t even notice when it turned night… one of the best, if not the best, excursions we have dine on our travels.
