It exceeded our family’s expectations. Our guide Nune, made cooking all five dishes easy, educational and fun!
Our guide, driver and cooking teacher named “A” was an all around fun and happy guy. We were first introduced to Thai ingredients in the local markets and then driven to the farm. The best part was that we individually get to pick our own 5 course meal: appetizer, noodle/rice dish, soup, curry and dessert. Everything was well organized and delicious. Highly recommend.
We had a really nice time overall, and Tommy was an excellent guide. He did a great job managing a group with mixed languages and made sure everyone felt included and understood. The cooking class itself was fun, the food was delicious, and we enjoyed visiting the market and learning about Thai cuisine.
My major complaint is that this is advertised as a half-day tour, but it ended up taking our entire day. We were picked up around 8:20 a.m. and weren’t dropped back off until almost 5:00 p.m. We booked this expecting to finish in the city between 2:00–3:00 p.m., so it significantly affected the rest of our plans. Because the farm is well outside the city, there’s no option to leave early once you’re there. I would only recommend this company if the listing is updated to reflect that it’s really a full-day activity so travelers can plan accordingly.
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.
Thai cooking class with Nune was awesome! It was a small group and we were able to go to the morning market to understand how to shop for ingredients and then see them growing on the farm. Very peaceful setting for the cooking class on the farm itself. Well organized and paced with lots of hands on time. Definitely feel like I could make some of these recipes when I return home! You leave very full, with a cute cookbook that contains step by step instructions and the team takes and posts your photos on the website the next day so you can be in the moment. 10/10 recommend when in Chiang Mai!

We’re especially glad to hear that you feel confident about recreating the recipes at home. That is exactly what we hope our guests take away from the experience. And of course, we hope the cookbook and photos will help you remember the special moments from the day.

Don’t eat beforehand or you might spoil your appetite. Nune was our guide/chef instructor and really made this an easy, exciting, and super tasty experience!! Nune taught us numerous delicious Thai dishes such as curry (I picked Khaw Soi),
Sticky rice w/ Mango (so good 🤤), Pad Thai, etc. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to have a sweet time! If you like spice you’ll love it, and if you don’t like spice Nune also teaches you how to make the dishes more mild to your specific liking. What are you waiting for, great food is right around the corner, and with the super funny and entertaining Nune guiding you along the way you’ll make some of the tastiest dishes around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My Wife and I loved this class!! 😁🫶🏾
Kob koon krub (thank you) Nune!!!

Super unique cooking class. Tommy makes the whole thing in my option. He has such energy and humor and amazingly enough with all the many dishes he had to account for the food turned out great. If there was a way to do something without the grocery and garden I would have been happy to have the experience be shorter. But that’s also because our time in Chiang Mai was limited.
We did the class with your young adult kids 19 and 21 and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future.

If you select the farm option, you will travel to a very lovely location (45min in A/C-ed minivan), picking up fresh herbs and so on directly form the garden. Cooking 5 or 6 dishes together with the group, all led by the energetic and fun chef: Nune. I had zero cooking skills and still managed to do it.
FYI, the activity lasts longer than in the presentation details

The cooking course was a highlight of Chiang Mai. After being picked up (note that they will message you on the app to tell you an exact pickup time) we were dropped off at the city centre location and then driven to the local market to understand a few of the ingredients regularly used in Thai cooking. Afterwards, we drove to the farm (approx 40mins). The farm was very tranquil and we were introduced to further ingredients and picked some for our cooking.
In total, we made 5/6 dishes and you had approximately 4 options for each dish, all of which were very tasty. Sue was very detailed when talking through each dish and at the end we were given a small cookbook so we could replicate the dishes at home.
Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone interested!

Just great vibes throughout. I was in a mixed group of Europeans and felt very comfortable as the only solo traveller. We visited a local market to explain some of the vegetables we would be using and then took a ride to the farm north of the city.
What a beautiful, relaxing place the farm was. We took a tour around it, sampling some of the herbs we would be using. Then it was on to the cooking. Considering there were 11 people cooking 5 courses with different dishes in each, this was really well handled. I learned a lot, had lots of fun and ate well. Thoroughly recommended.

For your first Thai cooking class exeperience I recommend this 100% cause it will definitely give you the full experience! Meaning that you will learn about the ingredients in depth and in a fun easygoing way, with a teacher that has an amazing personality and expertise in teaching. You will feel welcome, well taken care of and the atmosphere is easy going yet fast paced and super informative. You will love this either going alone or with a group. The cook book you get after is amazing. Totally worth the money and you will def be able to make the dishes at home later. The atmosphere and location are both amazing.
What an amazing experience
So much more than just a cooking course. So friendly and accommodating.
The food we cooked was wonderful.
Learning how curry paste is made and used.
Preparing the food was fun and delicious. Seeing the farm was a plus.
This was one of the highlights of our time in Chiang Mai! The class and logistics were very organized, and a lot was packed into that time. Our guide/teacher was so fun and very knowledgeable on the food and ingredients and the food was so delicious! Would highly recommend this experience!
