Traveler reviews
Great fun for whole family to get involved.
Really lovely experience. Booked as an extra activity on our Intrepid Family tour while we were in Chiang Mai and we were lucky enough to be able to book for the same day. The whole family got involved- my 11 year old did all his own cooking and my 7 year old helped me - he was half price and still got a lot of lovely food at the end! Created a whole banquet together! My 11 year old loved checking out the market first to buy the ingredients we needed. Gorgeous recipe book given to us all at the end of the session too. Our cook was patient and kind and had lots of good swapping tips for us in case we couldn’t find some of the ingredients at home. I’m vegan and I was catered for separately and really nicely so I could have a chance to make everything too! A really great evening. Covered and airy kitchen but no AC so just make sure you plan for that.
So FUN!
Loved this class. Had an awesome instructor and had the most fabulous time with my wife learning to cook Thai. Highly recommend.
The best cooking class ever!!!
Great day and Ae our master chef, gave us a fun experience at the market and selecting our food to cook, great explanations. The cooking school facility was amazing and Ae made our experience so fun and shared a lot of her knowledge! Truly great value, and presented with a beautiful cook book to take home!!!
Fun, Hands on experience
Ae did a wonderful job of explaining the various local ingredients to us and how they fit into the dishes. We learned that several of the ingredients are actually flavour ingredients only and are removed from the dish prior to eating. Overall a very good and authentic experience
Highly Recommend!
We were really looking forward to our session. It did not disappoint. We had an enjoyable visit to the market where we purchased the ingredients necessary to cook the dishes we had selected. We then drive 15 or 20 minutes to the cooking school location south of Chiang Mai. The pace was just about right. The instructor was excellent and the food was relatively easy to make. When it was all done we sat down to a tasty meal of spring rolls, kao soi, vegetables and sticky rice with mango.It was a fun and tasty morning in Chiang Mai.
