Exceeded our expectations!!!

My husband and I had an incredible experience at this authentic Thai cooking class! From start to finish, it was so much more than just a lesson — it was a true cultural experience. We began with a visit to a local market, where Oui walked us through the fresh herbs, spices, and produce that make Thai cuisine so vibrant and unique. Learning how to select the right ingredients and understanding their role in each dish made the cooking process even more meaningful. The class itself was hands-on and personalized, which I really appreciated. Oui was not only fun and engaging but also incredibly knowledgeable, explaining techniques clearly and sharing helpful tips along the way. She made us feel comfortable. By the end of the class, I felt confident recreating the dishes at home — and of course, getting to enjoy the delicious meal we prepared was the perfect reward! If you’re visiting Thailand and love food, I highly recommend taking a cooking class like this. It’s a fantastic way to connect with the culture, learn new skills, and create lasting memories.

Wonderful experience and person

We had an absolutely incredible time with Oui at her beautiful home, learning to cook authentic Northern Thai cuisine. The experience began with a vibrant trip to the local market, where we handpicked fresh ingredients—an immersive and eye-opening start to the day. Back at her home, Oui welcomed us with warmth, humor, and a genuine passion for cooking that made the entire experience feel personal and special. We prepared a wide variety of delicious dishes, each one more flavorful than the last, and we ate until we were blissfully full! This was truly a highlight of our trip to Thailand. If you're looking for a meaningful, hands-on culinary adventure, we can't recommend Trichada Home Cookery highly enough. Thank you, Oui, for sharing your kitchen, your stories, and your heart with us!

A truly lovely experience!

Ms Trichada teaches with such warmth and lots of passion and welcomes you into her home kitchen with such grace and hospitality. She makes you feel like you’re cooking in the kitchen with a good friend or your family. A wonderful and fun experience! I’d highly recommend a class with her whether it’s for dishes you’re familiar with or to learn more about other regional Thai cuisine. A must do!

Inspiring from Market to Plate

We had a truly immersive and inspiring experience. Oui welcomed us with genuine warmth and guided us through every step — from selecting local ingredients at the market to preparing each dish with passion and precision. Her explanations were rich, clear, and full of local insight. We not only cooked, we learned — about flavours, techniques, and the stories behind each plate. The hands-on cooking session could have lasted even longer, as we were so deeply engaged and eager to dive deeper into the culinary process. But even within the time we had, we gained a great deal and felt incredibly enriched. All in all, this was far more than a cooking class — it was a cultural journey. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to connect with authentic Thai cuisine in a meaningful, personal way. Thank you Oui for such a memorable experience!
