If you're only doing one cooking class in Chiang Mai, this is the kind that earns its four and a half hours. You get collected from your hotel, taken to a local market where the instructor explains what's on the stalls and why it matters, then walked around the school's organic garden to see the herbs growing. Only after that do you actually cook. Three dishes, and you choose them yourself from the categories, so nobody's stuck making a curry they won't eat. Tom yum with prawns, khao soi and pad thai all come up again and again in what people report making, plus Thai tea and mango sticky rice.
The teachers are the reason this place works. Energetic, funny, genuinely attentive, good with beginners who've never held a pestle. The pace can feel rushed, with a bit of hurrying along between dishes when you'd rather sit and enjoy what you've just made. That's the trade-off for fitting everything into a single session.

Reviews from Google
This cooking school was a great experience overall. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the teacher was very kind, fun, and made the class engaging. The only downside was that she rushed us a bit at times, asking us to hurry, which made the experience feel less relaxed than we had hoped. We would have loved a little more time between dishes to eat and enjoy the food in a calmer way. That said, considering everything is done within about five hours, the pace is understandable. Hotel pickup and drop-off were included, we visited a local market, and we cooked five traditional Thai dishes. There was a good selection to choose from, with nine options in total, two of which were mandatory, so it suits most tastes. They also adapted very well to allergies, which was appreciated. The staff cleaned up quickly while we were eating, so there was no waiting around, and everything ran smoothly.
Highly recommend to visit this place if you have any interest of cooking thai food. I made a reservation just a day before but I was lucky to get my ticket for afternoon class. We made and learnt three dishes and is able to choose for one menu every categories (soup, stir-fired, curry) My teacher and co-students were so nice and good. I can say every moment in this class was so much fun and good. We didn't stop cooking and eating literally XD If I were in Chiang Mai someday, I would be here once again.
What an amazing hands-on experience. Kudos to our "Master Chef" Satong for her energy and guidance teaching us to cook great Thai dishes. You get to choose 3 dishes to prepare. The Tom Yum prawn soup, Khao Soi and Pad Thai we made were exceptional (as good or better than our favourite, highly rated Thai restaurant back home). What a great experience!!
