If you love Thai food and would like to learn the basics, this is a great experience! This is a must do in Chiang mai city. Ming and Jasmine were great hosts who took the time to explain ingredients and also about the tribal Akha culture. Would highly recommend.

This was a great experience. Despite the 40 degrees heat, this was one of the best things we did in Chiang Mai. Jasmin (Mi-Ti) took us around the local market introducing us to local food. Tasting starts at the market so recommend not to have a big breakfast! We then moved into yhe cooking school which is very well designed and organised. Everything moves very smoothly. Min is a great teacher. Kept us all in order and made it great fun. She loves her chilli so half what she says if you are not good with it 😁. Overall great experience of learning about Thai style cooking and Akha people too. Highly recommended.

Such a great class! Instructors shared such great information and I can’t even believe how much food we made (and ate!). Everything was delicious. Such a great experience if you have the time to do and love Thai food!

From arrival to departure I felt like I was in a private kitchen, very intimate and personal. Our chef spoke great English and was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The format of the class was perfect for the way we prepared our meals. It was a LOT of food and fantastic recipes. I know there are a lot of other classes available, but this one really excelled at teaching about soups, base sauces, and spices. Highly recommend!
