Aromdii Cookery School

Absolutely loved our time learning to cook authentic Thai food with Aek! We visited the market, learned about the foods you can find there, purchased everything needed for our class, and headed to the cooking school where we made 5 dishes and enjoyed them throughout the evening. Come hungry!! Aek does a wonderful job of sharing about his culture while teaching, even explaining the differences in tastes and traditions from where he grew up versus where his wife is from. Myself, my husband and two college kids all had a wonderful evening. Shortly after being dropped off at our hotel Aek sent us all of the recipes we’d made so we can go home and make them again. Thank you so much, this was a highlight of our time in Chiang Mai. If you’re looking to take a cooking class, book with Aromdii Cookery School!

I’d highly recommend this, especially if you love Thai food and want to take some recipes home. The tour was brilliantly organised, from the hotel pick-up, to going to the market and then their home for the class. You learn how to prepare all the ingredients from fresh and then cook at your own wok station. There is a lot of delicious food to cook so make sure you go on an empty stomach. Given you get so much food and how well it’s organised and catered for, I think it’s a bargain at 800 baht per person. There were no issues at all with arranging alternatives for vegan and vegetarian diets. Thanks to Aek and his wife for arranging this!

This was truly an amazing experience. My wife and I enjoyed sourcing, preparing, cooking (and then eating!) all the delicious Thai food that we learnt. 10/10 will definitely return if we are ever in Chiang Mai again. Our host, Aek, was exceptional! He thought us, entertained us, and gave us a great memory to take home. Such a genuine nice man and highly entertaining. This was the highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai. Thank you!
