Why go, and how to do it well

Four and a half hours sounds like a lot for a cooking class until you see how the day is built. It starts at a Chiang Mai market, looking at produce and working out what half of it actually is, then there's a drive north to the farm where the herbs and vegetables grow. Only then do you cook. By the time you sit down to eat what you've made, usually five or six dishes plus a dessert, the day has gone somewhere.

The instructors are the reason people come back raving. Reviewers name them, which tells you something. Nune, Tommy, Marium and an instructor known as A all come up. Expect to be chopping and prepping constantly rather than watching a demonstration, and expect more food than you can finish. The mango sticky rice gets singled out again and again. It suits solo travelers, couples and anyone who's never cooked Thai food before, and the kitchen is clean and properly kitted out.

Reviews from Google

I took part in a Thai cooking class on 09.02.2026 and I can honestly highly recommend it. The class was very well organized, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and the whole cooking experience was a real pleasure. All the dishes we prepared were absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and the mango sticky rice was outstanding – easily one of the best I’ve had in Thailand. Special thanks go to Marium, who led our group. I really loved her attitude towards the participants – she was kind, warm, and always smiling, while at the same time showing an impressive level of knowledge about Thai cuisine, which she shared in a clear and engaging way. She is also a beautiful person, inside and out, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip 😊

My partner and I took a cooking class and it was a beautiful, fun, and extraordinary experience. The facilities are equipped with everything you need, very clean, and there's plenty of food. They guide you through each step of the recipes. We made five spectacular dishes and one dessert—more than we could eat! The staff is so fun, friendly, and sweet; they teach with so much love. We took a little piece of Thailand home with us in our hearts, so grateful for the wonderful experience we had.

Amazing experience. We had a market visit, a garden tour with amazing smells and tastes. Do you think 4.5 hrs might be too long? Don’t worry, the time will fly by, there’s so much great food and tasting. You’re chopping, prepping, cooking, eating and it’s all wildly entertaining. The instructor (named “A”) is energetic and spicy. He’s helpful and supportive and makes sure everyone succeeds. I highly recommend this cooking school.
