타이 아카 부족 요리 수업 및 시장 투어

Kind, friendly team all-around. Made several dishes, learned alot about the culture, received a cook book at the end, and had great people to connect with. Highly recommend this experience for curious learners!

very knowledgable ladies, great variety of dishes with a lot of freedom, vegan/veggie etc friendly :)

Delicious food choices. Excellent instruction and tutors. Very well organised. Probably the best cooking class I have attended in Thailand. Great and amusing explanations of recipe origins. Added interest with history of area and food. Scientific reasons added to give information for adding certain ingredients ts. Niti an inspiring tutor. And her assistant too. And kop khan ka to the kitchen hands who washed and dried and prepped and helped the day go smoothly. Enjoyed the market visit. The new flavours. All in all I would recommend d this class.

The cooking class was very well organized, which meant that we were able to prepare a variety of different meals in a relative short time! All of them were delicious and I will definitely re-cook some of them at home (which will be easily possible thanks to a helpful recipe booklet we received at the end of the class)! Don’t hesitate to book this cooking class!

Incredible experience and delicious food! The staff were all amazing and patient and great at what they do. They made the class fun whilst teaching about their Akha culture. I chose this school as you get to learn to cook, assist, watch and most importantly: eat 10 different dishes. Make sure to go hungry as there are multiple breaks to eat every couple of hours! I ended up using their cookbook as a shopping list to buy ingredients. Can't wait to try it at home!

I wrote a review on TripAdvisor, I woud recomend this class to everyone. Jasmine is a perfect cook/teacher!!

We had a very good time visiting the market and cooking lessons with a great teacher Ming. Thank you very much for this good moment.

I attended with two guests who were visiting Chiang Mai. We thoroughly enjoyed our day (we did the morning session). The van collected us at the prearranged point on time and from there the whole day ran seamlessly. We read other reviews and they didn’t have breakfast as there was so much food to cook and eat. The facilities were top class and Jasmine the instructor was excellent. It was a highlight for our guests and tremendous value for money. Thai Akha is the best of the best in Chiang Mai! Book your class and don’t miss out!

I was hesitant about taking a cooking class, but finally, I decided to do it so I don’t regret a thing. The teachers were really nice and helpful, the market experience is something that I needed. The dishes were delicious and the whole thing is definitely worth it. I’m so happy I made the right choice

Jasmin our teacher was fantastic. We booked as a family with 3 children aged 16, 16 and 19. The experience only increased our love for Thai food and the information about the Akha Tribe was interesting. We loved the market trip. The kitchen facilities and setup were amazing. Jasmin was so brilliant even the food that we cooked was amazing and tasted authentic! So glad we read in other reviews beforehand about the volume of food likely to be eaten being huge so we thankfully did not eat breakfast as was advised. All of the other people on our course were friendly and interesting coming from varied backgrounds and different countries. We thoroughly enjoyed this and it unexpectedly turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Chiangmai (was booked as an afterthought for a rainy day). I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it.

The booking process and communication were easy, and we got a confirmation very soon. We had a wonderful experience with Thai Ahka cooking school. Everything was so organised and well planned. We had 11 dishes, and everything was delicious. Great value for money! We even had a printed cookbook to take home. The price on cookly is much better also.

It was really enjoyable. I think especially because I love to eat, I appreciated the fact that we got to enjoy 11 dishes. It was fun starting off going through the local market and being shown some of the common Thai ingredients (esp because usually I avoid out of inability to communicate and never knowing how to tell what's good versus bad haha). The cooking class itself was awesome. Despite my own introversion and not being a huge fan of small talk, it was nice interacting with people from different backgrounds, sharing thoughts and some laughs, and just being kind humans to one another. Jasmine was the guide, and she did a splendid job. Other than being funny (to me anyway), she just engaged everyone in such a warm and friendly way, giving clear examples for us to follow, and ensuring everyone was enjoying their dishes. Besides her, there was one silent but consistent worker in the back who diligently accepted our dishes and cleaned them (unfortunately don't know name). Then there was Ming, also diligently working in the background to prepare ingredients for the next dish as we enjoyed a recently made dish as well as giving us ingredients to prepare for the next cooking. I appreciated the 4 breaks we had to enjoy our meals throughout the cooking day. Super appreciative of the cookbook because I'd definitely forget the majority of ingredients and steps to make the yummy meals I somehow made. Overall, I feel like if you just want to enjoy your day, have some laughs, learn a little bit about a culture you might never otherwise, and enjoy yummy food, then you'll really enjoy your time here.

Fantastic! There are so many cooking schools in Chiang Mai but this class covered so many things at a great price. Three of us learned how to make papaya salad, fried spring rolls, three Akha dishes, three curries, three stir fries, three soups, and two desserts. The space is beautiful, the equipment professional, and Niti was so imformative about Thai and Akha culture, but most importantly, technique for perfecting Thai dishes. They provide transport to and from their school. Arrive hungry because the class is well timed with eating breaks of what you make, and you will be cooking a lot of food.

Definitely worth it, 100% reccomend Attended this cooking class with my whole family. Must reccomend even for non-cooks, very well instructed throughout the whole class, amazing work space, lovely instructors and a great cookbook! Market in the morning is a lot of fun, we got to taste everything we wanted and our instructor had an answer to every question we came up with. 5 stars indeed, thank you for this experience, we will never forget it.

Totally recommend!

“J” was an excellent instructor and the class was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed going to the market as well and seeing how the locals shop and prep food. Highly recommend this class!

J'ai adoré cette journée avec la découverte du marché et sa dégustation des produits locaux. Apprendre et cuisiner des plats Thaï soi-même et de les dégustés c'était une belle expérience. Le chef cuisinier était très sympa et attentif. C'était très bien organisé. Je recommande. Merci.

The entire experience was exceptional.

Great class, market trip shedlight on some questions about ingredients, instructor was great communicator and cared, lots of food, good coffee and appreciate the beer available

We had an incredible time with Thai Akha Kitchen. Our guide was awesome and so good at making sure everyone was on the same page even as people made different dishes at once. The class was also so accommodating to vegetarians as well. We made so much food that all tasted delicious (some of the best of these dishes we’d had yet - and we made them!) so the recipes are phenomenal. Also very cool to learn about and make Akha dishes as well as those are obviously much harder to come across. Would absolutely recommend this class we have no complaints!!

I am an amateur cooker and especially I love Asian cuisine. I have had three Spanish restaurant, two of them Spanish food and third pasta and pizza. Although pelín difficulty with language but I take a great learning and with the new book published in Spanish I already link all terms perfectly, thank you very much for your patience and you have a very good cooking school.

Our teacher is Jay, he is just so kind and patient, always with a big smile on his face. The way he taught just made the Thai cuisine so easily to access (even for me who's a cooking beginner). And most importantly the dishes is incredibly delicious! We learn some of the Akha tribe culture from him as well, which is really unique. I also love the environment, just warm and cozy. The whole experience from the market tour to the cooking class is great. Highly recommended for those who want to learn to cook Thai food!

We really enjoyed the cooking class. The hostess is super competent, very funny and friendly. We learned a lot about the Thai cuisine and generally about the country. You can try everything (or have to :-D) and you are free in choosing your dishes. We learned a lot of dishes and were free in adding ingredients of our choice. We definitely can recommend this class and the amazing hostess!

This cooking class was amazing. It started out by getting picked up in a taxi and heading to a local food market with Niti (our instructor). She walked us around the market, explained local ingredients to us and how they are used and evem bought a few thimgs from different vendors so we could taste them. Once the market tour was done we were taken back to her kitchen where she taught us how to make a few thai appetizers, salads, soups, entrees, and deserts. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to learn more about thai cuisine and actually get experience cooking it.

We started our course in the morning. Niti took us to the fresh market, where we tried typical food and some other things not so adapted to the tourists' tastes. Spoiler alert: try not to think about what you're eating, just try it! Once at the kitchen we prepared the 11 dishes, combining eating them with preparing the next round (some of them were prepared individually and others in group). No time is wasted! Niti is so charming: she makes you feel like home and spreads her pride for the Akha culture by telling little stories about her tribe and their way of living. It was a pleasure sharing this experience, a 100% recommended.

It was a pleasure to participate in cooking class with Thai Akha. Jay was a great teacher and our group was really nice. We cooked 11 dishes - of course with Jay’s help. It was a great opportunity to learn something about Thai cuisine, especially about herbs and spices used in the food.

Im glad we did this cooking class as a part of our honeymoon. Sometimes we travel just to see the sights but this was my first time to experience firsthand Thai culture with Akha people. Our day was fun-filled, interactive and insightful. We had traditional coffee tasting, tribe dishes, and a short introduction about their culture. Throughout the day, i saw the depth of culture through their dish and techniques. My husband and i went home with a gift set and with a new perspective in culture.

Thanks to the lovely team at Thai Akha Tribe Cooking school, I enjoyed every aspect of the tour. From visiting the local markets and getting a tour of local delicacies and understanding the types of ingredients locals use for their everyday cooking. I’ve always loved thai food, this class was very informative cooking class with so many dishes to cook and eat, the instructor was lovely, english spoken and a nice little set-up work stations. We had a group of 12 and the dishes were so easy to cook. All jam packed into a half day tour I definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone interested in thai cooking, you get free recipe book of all the dishes, even received a free curry sample pack and a Akha Apron 😊 cant beat that on price anywhere else. Thanks again and hopefully visit again soon. Cheers, Rebecca😄

Everything was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The market tour was very informative; it was so fun to learn about all the different items and also the items we already use in the U.S. Our guide was very sweet and when she showed us how to cook, she was a delight! Everything we made was so delicious. I really enjoyed taking the cooking class and will do it again the next time I'm in Thailand.

Great fun

Market tour is good to know local food and taste of it. Interesting to do some authentic thai food!

The class was fun. The recipes were explained very well and the food was just delicious. Also learnt a bit about Akha culture.

Fun class. Started by going through a market and seeing ingredients in their more raw forms, was very informative since some of these aren't available in the US so I'd never seen them before. The cooking class itself was fun, a mix of demonstration and trying dishes yourself. Everything was surprisingly simple, nothing was complex at all.

Nice and enjoyable class, all was delicious and fun.

Cookbook great, cooking well organized liked the history/ cultural explanation, food was great and relaxed well paced class. Everything was there when you needed it and especially liked the help fixing the spicy/ sweet/salty tastes if you wanted less or more in any dish. The trip to the market was Not essential: could be skipped as it is in the night class.

JJ was a great Akha cooking instructor. Easy to understand. Place was well organised to cater to max 10 pax. There were breaks in between to partake the food that were just cooked & we also get to network during those times.

we learned so much about the food and the culture, we did a local market tour first where you get the chance to taste local different products. The staff is super friendly and knowleadgable. I would definitely recommend, you do 11 dishes with a take home cook book

I had so much fun taking this cooking class. The instructor, Cherry, was absolutely delightful and funny. All the food we made was delicious. I learned so many interesting things and now cook so much more Thai food at home. I'd go again in a heart beat; it's well worth the money.

Good taste and variety

Good food, great taste and excellent tutor... Thanks a lot and congratulations!

I can't recommend this class highly enough - just fantastic. The class was interesting (especially having the chance to go around the market beforehand to learn about the ingredients), paced well and we learnt and cooked an interesting array of dishes. Very entertaining and informative.

An very happy experience. The market visit let us see many special ingredient. The instructor gives us some really practical and interesting cooking tips. This class is value for money. I will highly recommend this cooking class to Chiang Mai visitors.

Our group had so much fun. JJ was great using humour and guiding us patiently through the steps. Highly recommend the morning class with the market tour. No need for breakfast for you will be cooking 11 different dishes and so will have more than plenty to eat. In fact you likely won’t even need dinner. Would definitely recommend this if you want to learn about Thai cooking

Will take my sister next time.

We really enjoyed it. It was a wonderful experience and we truly recommend it. We learned many tips and tricks about Thai food and about Thai culture in general. Thank you!

We had been at the cooking event as a couple. We really enjoyed the activities offered by cookly. First, we spent some time at the market to deepen our knowledge about local ingredients for our meals and tasted different groceries, we liked it. Cooking was also quite good, everything was made with fresh vegetables and traditional Thai/ akha food. Because u are cooking and therefore eating a lot, I would suggest to not eat much before. Why we only give 4 instead of 5 stars is that the coordinaten with some dishes was not optimal so that we ate it cold. All in all we recommend the cooking class.

The teacher could not take care everyone finally we cooked no good

We had so much fun. The teacher was really really nice and spoke english perfectly. One of the best activities we've done in our trip.

The cooking teacher is fluent in English (uncommon in Thaillande). We have learn 11 dishes in a half day. We receive a cooking book also avaidable in Internet.

Our class was at capacity, which concerned me at first, but it turned out to be a fabulous experience, in part because of the other participants. The market tour was informative and didn't feel hurried. The class itself was amazing. I am a chef at home in the US, and admittedly, my expectations were low-ish for a class like this, but they far, far exceeded my expectations. The mise en place was on point, the instructor was personable and very clear with instruction, and she gave great recommendations for substitutes of ingredients if we have to sub at home. The end was a family style meal in the dining room of the home of the hosts. It's a great way to get to know fellow travelers, and it's a nice way to relax and enjoy the end results of your labors.
