Expert Tips

" The complete experience of a cooking class in a relaxed atmosphere. In this 7-hour class I learned so much about ingredients and spices used for Thai cuisine and how they impact the food's taste and quality. Would highly recommend for those who want to fully learn about the specifics of Thai food. "

What I liked: Loved the chef who was very insightful and provided answers to all my stupid and non-stupid questions. The facilities are new and have a superb garden where the main ingredients are picked before starting cooking. The dishes tasted really good and we were all proud of what we managed to prepare. I also liked that it was an extended class, meaning that we could eat and cook slowly.

What to know: As a vegan I was taken well cared of, since the chef paid special attention on the ingredients. The location is a 10 min drive from outside of Chiang Mai.

Good for: People who want to have the complete package and not just a crash course about Pad Thai.

How to get there: Pick up and drop off is offered by the cooking school

Great cooking class! Wonderful instructor!

A group of 4 of us took the full-day cooking class with Gobby as our instructor. He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about food. The recipes were well designed and easy to follow. The class was taught in English but the instructor could speak multiple languages. It's definitely the best part of our trip in Chiang Mai. Highly recommend this class!! One thing to note, bring an empty stomach to the class. There's so much food.

Great experience

I am keen on cooking and have been practising Asian dishes for a while now, however, none of my Thai curries can compare to the one we prepared in class! The ingredients were fresh, the kitchen space open and airy, thus the heat was no problem! There were only five of us in the group and our instructor, Gobby, was funny and very communicative, so we were never bored. 7 hours well spent :)

Brilliant

Myself and my friend completed the full day cooking course. We had a great day from start to finish. Rachael was a super host, keeping the course both informative and fun. The scenery at the cooking school is outstanding and walking around the farm was definitely a highlight for us. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Chiang Mai area.
