“Amazing class with great hosts! The class itself takes a full five hours, and the pick-up and drop-off is well arranged and clearly communicated. Both chefs truly love what they do and teach you as much as possible within the five hours, ensuring time to take it all in and properly enjoy the food at the same time. Everything is super well-organized, you can cook what you picked out yourself and even take any leftovers you have, come with an empty stomach! 10+ from us first-time cooking-class takers and a must-do in Chiang Mai! :)”

“Picked up on time from hotel. 9 on the bus. Shown around the fruit market first then went to cooking school. Taken around the kitchen garden and all the leaves, herbs etc were explained. Then into the lesson. Other groups joined us but that was ok. It is set up with military precision. The main lady is very stern but it made it great fun, like being told off by the headmaster in school. We were taken through the ingredients one by one and told what to clearly by the staff. As each course was completed, we went and all ate together. The food we created was amazing, very flavourful…”

Review of Chiang Mai’s 5-hour cooking class with market visit, organic garden, six Thai dishes, recipes, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“Host didn't respond to email or get back to me regarding transportation. It was supposed to be included but luckily it was close enough and Get your guide was able to reach them to get me the address. Be sure you can get there on time so you don't miss going to the market. It's optional but worth the experience. Other than that hands down must try if visiting.”
