Our Favorite Cooking Class of the Trip!
This was our favorite cooking class of the trip. The instructors were fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely funny, which made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. The facility was excellent and very well set up, and everything felt organized without ever feeling rushed. We especially loved the variety of dishes. In addition to learning traditional Thai favorites, we also got to make some special Northern Thai dishes, which made the class feel much more unique to Chiang Mai. Great food, lots of laughs, and an excellent overall experience. We would absolutely recommend it!

An Amazing Thai Cooking Experience in Chiang Mai!
The Thai Akha Kitchen cooking class in Chiang Mai was an absolutely amazing experience! We learned to cook numerous traditional Thai and Akha recipes while also learning about the cultural and culinary differences between them. It was such a fun and meaningful way to experience Thai food and culture. Our instructor, On, was fantastic! She was incredibly informative, funny, engaging, and clearly passionate about Thai cuisine. She made the entire class enjoyable and easy to follow, and we learned so much along the way. This experience was absolutely worth the money, and I would highly recommend the Thai Akha Kitchen cooking class to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. A wonderful experience from start to finish! 🇹🇭🍜❤️
Delicious cooked and greased
Had a very nice day in the cooking school. Lots of different dishes made and eaten, small group and a very friendly and clear hostess. We started shopping at the market, where we got a lot of explanation and we could taste everything.
