Most cooking classes hand you a bag of prepped ingredients and a wok. This one takes you to a market north of the city center first, walks you through the herbs and pastes that make Thai food work, then drives you out to a farm in the countryside where those same herbs are growing in the ground. Seeing lemongrass and galangal in situ before you chop them changes how the day lands.
You pick a dish in each category, a curry paste, a curry, a soup, a noodle dish and a dessert on the half days, with a stir-fry added on the full day. Vegan, vegetarian and allergy requests are handled without fuss. Groups stay small, instruction is step by step, and complete beginners manage fine. Guides get named constantly in feedback, which usually means the teaching is personal rather than scripted. You eat what you cook at the end.
If you're nervous about ordering unfamiliar dishes off a street cart, this is a low-risk way to work out what you actually like.

What a fab day! We started off with a hotel pickup, then drove to the main market, a little way North of the city centre. There, our guide, Raatta talked us through various stalls and we had some free time to explore. Raatta was never far away if we needed clarification! Then we drove (in a comfortable AC minibus) to the farm. It’s in the countryside North of Chiang Mai and is just beautiful. When on the bus, we’d made our selection of what we’d like to cook… one soup, one curry, one stir fry, one noodle dish, one desert. We also had a salad. Raatta took us through each dish - and answered all our many questions! Because of the variety of dishes on offer, we also got to learn about the other dishes too! You will be eating a lot, but they are happy to bag up leftovers for you to take home. All-in-all, a brilliant day! Highly recommended!
We were lucky enough to have Fah as our teacher, she was so engaging and made the day so special. She took us round the market and taught us about the core ingredients of dishes, and then when we got to the farm she showed us the fresh herbs and vegetables that we were about to use in our dishes. It was so interesting to see them growing and learn about their uses. The cooking was so much fun, everything was prepped for us perfectly and spaced out so well. Thankyou for such an amazing experience Fah! :)
Couldn’t recommend enough!! So glad I booked this class and would for sure book it every time I come back to Chiang Mai! They accommodate to vegans/vegetarians as well as allergy/personal preferences. Our class was with Lily and she was awesome. The farm is so pretty and everyone there is super friendly. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!
