Grandma's Home Cooking School

We had a great time. What we liked most is that's not the typical cooking class with visiting a market, since we have seen a lot of markets already. We loved the environment, the garden is very nice and it was great having a guided tour in between courses from our chef. Which brings us to the chef of the cooking class. The information was good, you can choose your options (even more then writin on the site) and it was very easy going and a lot of fun!

Food was amazing and our chef Bryan was very funny :). Beautiful environment as well. Really recommend!

A really great experience in a perfect setting. The garden tour is very insightful and the cooking class very comprehensive and very insightful. Roger is very kind and helpful and very witty. Amazing first introduction into Thai cuisine!

It was a very nice experience. We cooked nice dishes which were very tasty and overall the class was tremendously well organized. The cooking school is in a very nice, spacious park.

Garnet was so enthousiastic, but then again, she has the greatest job in the world! The garden is also very beautiful, and the food we made was very tasteful. Some of the recipes, I"ll try to make at home😋.

Très belle expérience, une équipe dynamique et gentille. Non seulement le cour de cuisine était super mais la petite visite du jardin avec la présentation de tout les ingrédients était intéressante. Nous nous sommes régalés avec nos plats. Je recommande vivement!

The cooking class was well organised, we were picked up at the hotel on time, a very friendly chef Kiki showed us around in the herb garden and guided us through 4 dishes in a very friendly and timely manner. She shared “tricks of the trade” and made us conquer some of the Thai cuisines challenges. My 3 sons and myself was very satisfied overall with the cooking class. Highly recommended 🙏🏻 Jon Oslo, Norway

Beautiful location and great employees. Best was so helpful in our delicious creations. Truly one of the most delightful things we did in Chiang Mai.

I could have not imagined a better one. Communication before the event was excellent and pick-up were smooth. I contacted 3 other schools until I found this school where our 2 children were welcome. They were able to help and even were served their own little dish. The menu itself was delicious and the Chef was very supportive, friendly and always smiling :)

Our chef was really informative and funny. I really enjoyed cooking the meals and it was great that we got to cook 3 different ones and it tasted good! I made the coconut soup (shrimp), Kao soi (chicken) and pad Thai (shrimp).

Joy was our instructor. She was friendly and did a great job walking us through each recipe. Highly recommended!

I loved the chef! He had great energy, made us all laugh and we learned a lot :)

We had a great teacher and a wonderful time!

We learned a lot in a relaxed atmosphere with an excellent and funny teacher. Looking forward to cooking Thai Food in Germany.

Wonderful setting, amazing guide, perfect sized group, everything you could ask for.

The class was engaging and the food was delicious!

The staff was super informative and made it fun

Where can I begin! Pat our instructor was wonderful, insightful & funny :) she really made our experience 10 times better! The class is structured really nicely. We started off at the market where she explained some of the ingredients we would be using during the class. We then made our way to the beautiful garden where the classes are held and wow!! There were around 5 or 6 pavilions (where our class was hosted) all surrounded by organic gardens which provided the ingredients we used for our recipes. The pavilion was spectacular - we each had our own work station with a burner which was meticulously prepared with the ingredients we would be needing throughout. We made a soup, pad thai & curry in that order - eating what we prepared and moving forward with the next dish. The ingredients were very fresh - which is what made the food even more delicious! We really had a great time and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for an authentic cooking class in Chiang Mai! I will be sharing more pictures on my instagram!

We had a perfect 10 experience! The driver was punctual for pick up at our hotel and the drive to the farm was about 30 minutes. From the moment we arrived we were met with professional, happy -‘d knowledgeable staff. We had an absolute blast with the people we met as well with our own family. We cannot recommend this place enough!

Lovely lady and excellent facilities but was disappointed not to receive any recipes

We loved cooking Thai dishes with the fresh ingredients.

AMAZING cooking class at Grandma's Home Cooking School! All the food we made was absolutely delicious and the class was really interesting, instructive, and fun. The cooking school itself is very beautiful and very spacious. the chef was patient and so incredibly talented. Really loved this experience and would highly recommend!

This class was so perfect. We got to tour the garden for all the vegetables we were going to use and the we were educated on all the veggies. The area was so beautiful with the garden and pond. The class was easy to follow and super delicious! The instructor gave great directions and ensured our food came out tasting absolutely delicious! They listened to our needs and made the class fun! Would highly recommend!

We had such a great experience! We enjoyed the scenery, the organic farm and our cooking teacher passion for sharing thai food secrets. It felt like we were in another world, surrounded by nature and tranquility and aromas of curry and basil. We loved it!

Rachel was an excellent teacher and a fantastic hostess. She explained everything in excellent English and was charming, witty and pleasant all the time. If I ever go back to Chiang Mai I will definitely enroll for the class just to relieve the experience.

Joy was a great teacher, The school is located in an amazing spot, Very clean natural and lots of nature it’s a beautiful open space you literally cook outside(there’s a rooftop lol), You also get to go and look at the garden at each one of the ingredient you will use. We got a lot of attention to each one of the students, really personal and cool experience. I really feel like I learned and not just cooked, by the way our dishes were the best! I highly recommend to go and enjoy this experience I have done some classes before with some other schools but this one was my favorite one!

Warm atmosphere Eco-friendly ingredients clean tools Kind explanation DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!!

too many mosquito TT but, it's easy to follow teacher. this class have delicious food and beautiful garden

Challenging and enjoyable class

What a great evening! We were pleasantly surprised by how much fun and informative Grandma’s Cooking Class was. The grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed walking thru the herb and vegetable gardens. The instruction was detailed, yet fun and easy to follow (in English). And the meals we prepared were many and tasty. We will be making Curries and Pad Thai at home!

It was my highlight of Chiang Mai trip! If you fond yourself enjoying cooking, you will loooooooveeee it! My teacher was great! I am mot detail person, but every step of cooking class was so easy to follow. It was unforgettable experience at a very nice and peaceful garden. You won’t regret at all.

Rachel was super nice! The place is beautiful!

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.

It was so nice to experience about Thai culture and cook. Our teacher is the best!!!! Thank you:)

she is very kind and funny. All the food we made was delicious, but I was full :)

The view of the school, the teacher!! Everything was great!!

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 :)

Awesome time! Highly recommend!

My mother and I had a wonderful time in this cooking class! The teacher was fun, very informative, and answered all of the questions we had - even alternatives for ingredients that are hard to find outside of Thailand! We enjoyed everything - the visit to the market, the farm, and of course the class. For us, learning three dishes was the perfect amount and we left feeling confident we could prepare them once home. Overall, I think this course was exactly what we wanted and we were able to enjoy ourselves while learning something new.

The teacher was very funny and explained the everything of the class very well. It was most interesting experience in Chiang Mai

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.

Die Location ist ein Traum, Racheal erklärt super einfach und mit viel Humor. Wir haben lecker gegessen und viel über die Kultur gelernt. Diesen Kurs kann ich wärmstens empfehlen

Gobby was a wonderful host and instructor. All the food was delicious and the farm is divine.

Chef Rachel is the best, picked us up at the hotel and showed us a very clean fresh market near the farm. Honestly, I want to spend more time in that market and do more shopping. The farm is way better than expected, spacious and relaxing. Chef Rachel patiently demonstrated each dish and I’m very surprised by the final result, delicious and aesthetic. We enjoyed our food at the big table and had a great time making new friends, a very relaxing way to spend the afternoon. I highly recommend this to travelers who love Thai food and seeking a place away from the crowd.

I don't normally write a review, but this place is very deserving of a 5 star. The staff was super amazing and the outdoor Cooking in the garden made it so relaxing.

Grandma's Cooking School was so much fun! The outdoor kitchen is located on a beautiful farm and Joy was an amazing and entertaining instructor. We spent 2 weeks in Thailand and I can honestly say the Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup we made were our favorites of each during our entire stay!

Teacher was very nice and spoke perfect English. We learned many different dishes and about all the spices used in Thailand. Overall, a very fun experience.

I was with my friends and we booked a cooking class at the very last minute. And it was such an amazing experience. We had a planned vacation in Thailand and we wanted to enjoy our very last day. So we asked our hotel if they can refer any other things to do. Grandma's home cooking school was the biggest highlight of the event. The place was so inviting, full of organic herbs and veggies. We made 7 dishes, all the ingredients were neatly prepared and brought to us on decorative wooden trays. We also had a market and farm tour. They were also able to squeeze our vegetarian request. We were very well taken cared of, staff were accommodating.

Thank you so much for an amazing half day session. Joy was amazing and I LOVED the food we made. So personal and very friendly! I want to come back for a full day!

Joy was amazing, great English and very easy to follow when cooking, definitely feel like I could make all the meals again. The farm is beautiful, highly recommend the half day, SO MUCH FOOD! Don’t eat before!!

It was interesting, professional, well structured, very kind people, good atmosphere. Good quality cooking. Nice surrounding.

I had heard about Thai food a lot and after one week I didn’t have the chance to really taste it. Until the class ! All food ended up tasting delicious, and my previous experience with cooking was almost none. The farm is also very pleasant, and the installations was easy & comfortable to use. Only the market part was a bit disappointing, because the market is quite small.

I learned so much about Thai culture and food! The food was delicious and the instructor was so accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The staff was so kind and helpful!! The garden itself was beautiful. We had an AMAZING time!!

Chose this particular school since I liked the idea of walking through an organic private garden, picking, smelling, tasting to learn about each herb and spices to use in your own dishes (instead of visiting a crowded noisy market). The cooking stations were outdoors under roofed brand new huts, which were very beautiful and completely sheltered even when it pelted down with rain (had screens on sides for added wind and rain protection). The farm is very spacious and can walk around after enjoying welcome tea, went on a swing and hammock and watched lotus floating in the river. I later found out that this cooking school is less than 1 year old so everything is clean and new, including toilets. It seems to be less well known compared to big facebook and instagramed schools perhaps since it wasn't in central Chiangmai (it was 15 min drive from hotel for us, but why does that matter when you are picked up in an air-conditioned new leather seat Honda Accord by your chef 30 mins before the class?). Oh and about the chefs, we met two, both were young in their late 20s to early 30s, spoke perfect English, one had majored in thai cruisine in Bangkok uni and worked as chef in Abu Dhabi and Carribeans before returning, planning to be a 5 star hotel chef, other was working in a restaurant in Chiangmai. Needless to say, communication was not an issue. The chefs are NOT some random housewife with limited English, which was what I was kinda expecting. I booked through Cookly about 20 hours before the class started and still we were the only two in the class on a Wednesday afternoon in October. It must be because this new company doesnt have much social media exposure or brochures in every hotel. We had 1 on 1 teaching where the chef cooks her own meal and we follow with our own ingredients, and could choose between any color curry and famous Khao Soi as well as choose from 2 soups, fixed pad thai, and fixed mango sticky rice (i.e 4 dishes - soup pad thai curry and dessert, plus provided tea). Afters an amazing meal we cooked ourselves with ZERO cleanup, we ate with the chef and chatted, before she dropped us off at an attraction that we asked to be dropped off at. The whole experience far exceeded what I expected. The Cookly site had a discount for the afternoon class, so we paid $30USD per person but would have gladly paid the original price of $43usd, given classes in Koh samui are twice the price, or 4-5 times the price back home in Sydney Australia. Honestly had the best experience so far on 3 visits to Thailand. I really hope this company flourishes. Peter from Sydney

I would highly recommend this class. We attended as a family and had many laughs as we created our authentic Thai dishes from scratch in relaxing outdoor surroundings. Plenty of food for a 4 course meal, individually tailored to our own tastes and preferences. Very knowledgeable teacher who was entertaining and fun.

The cooking class was very excellent. First we walked through the own farm garden while our teacher explained us the several plants. Than we cooked four Thai meals with a very good instruction by our teacher. After every meal we ate each meal together on a big Table. Everything was very good organized by the cooking school. Gladly again!!!

Very nice and funny teacher with good english, who loves her job. Lovely, quiet, romantic place.

Beautiful location, quite place with wooden huts surrounded by an organic garden with veggies, herbs and fruit trees. The tour guide/cook spoke very good English, she was enthusiastic, funny and knowledgable. We were a group of 6, not too large. We made 7 dishes, all the ingredients were neatly prepared and brought to us on decorative wooden trays. The price was absolutely fair. Highly recommended!

We were picked up on time at our Hotel on time by Rachael and taken straight to the beautiful location. Mike was our instructor for the day and he was lots of fun and really knowledgeable about all the ingredients, food and the area. We travelled around Thailand for 2 weeks and this was hands down the best meal we had during our stay and also one of our best days out! Thank you! We have already recommended this to our friends who are coming to Chaing Mai later this summer.

The farm is very beautiful and everything is explained very well. Delicious and fresh food. Fresh herbs and eggs. I highly recommend this class.

Mike is a wonderful teacher the food is amazing and the whole experience was excellent

Thoroughly enjoyed our cooking experience with cook Mike. From the educational tour of the local market, the stroll through the organically home grown garden of herbs, vegetables and fruit to then preparing our own delicious Thai favorites. Thai food is extremely flavorful and delicious couldn’t believe we made it ourselves with Mikes help of course. Highly recommend Grandmas Cooking experience.

The environment is great and the instructor is great too.

Un peu loin de Chiang Mai mais le lieu est unique ! Très beau ! Visite du potager bio pour cueillir nos ingrédients.... puis place au cours de cuisine avec Mike . Bilingue et explication claire . Très sympathique ! Nous mangeons nos plats préparés.... délicieux et copieux !

As soon as we arrived at the farm, we were amazed by the environment. The instructor Joyce was very friendly with such a good humor and she explained each step very thoroughly. I would say, this is by far the most memorable experience in Chiangmai and I will definitely be back again!!

The pavilion was beautiful and since I was the only person that booked it had a nice personal touch to it! I had a great time talking with Joyce, Rachel and Mike. Mike and Joyce alternated teaching me the traditional thai dishes and Mike showed me the herbs and animals located there. I had a wonderful time. Make sure to bring some bug spray in the PM as the mosquitoes come out during the evening class.

Beautiful setting. Lovely gardens. Picking our own ingredients and gathering eggs really added to the experience. Everyone was so nice a very accomodating to my 9 year old granddaughter. Very personalized. Not huge group like other programs. And food was delicious.

Very friendly and so much food! Couldn’t eat it all. Best of the best

Huge organic garden. Staff very professional and Nice very the kids. The cooker has outstanding teaching skills. We spent a wonderful evening. I highly recommand.

Although this school is a recent start-up school, the chefs and staff are able to share their experience, style and care with their clients. My favorites: khao soi and blue sticky rice. Great job, Joyzaa and Mike!! You and your staff gave me a perfect day!!

Our experience at Grandma's Home Cooking Class was in short - phenomenal. Joy was our instructor and was absolutely hilarious, the food we made was truly incredible, and the atmosphere was idyllic. I loved that they offer pick up service from the hotel as it was about a 20-30 minute drive outside the city. The farm was amazing and we got to walk around and learn about the organic produce that we used in our cooking. I was shocked to learn that they had only recently opened as everything went so smoothly. One plus to it being relatively new was that we were the only people there and received a private class - though I know it would have been great regardless. I will recommend this class to anyone I know traveling to Chiang Mai and I hope to make it back one day.

This place is brand new and they haven’t really gotten their name out too much which is probably why you don’t see many reviews. They produce all their own veggies, eggs, herbs, chicken right on the farm. The people are amazing!! They were so nice and so knowledgeable. The farm uses no chemical pesticides and you can tell the employees are very passionate about this. They also have all brand new facilities, the farm is so cute! Also the most important part, the food was amazing day you are taught to make all the sauces from scratch. Please please please choose this cooking class, you will not regret it!!

I had an extremely good time attending my first cooking class. Love the farm and the chefs Instructors. Overall perfect !!

Located at outskirt of Chiangmai totally immersed myself in this nice atmosphere surrounded by greens. Very thoughtful and friendly cooking instructors mike and joy. Enjoy the class very much. Highly recommended !!

The cooking school is in a very spacious and beautiful farm away from the city. The owners have obviously put a lot of efforts to make sure the visitors have an enjoyable experience. Our instructors Joy and Mike were amazing personalities who were not only fun and knowledgeable, but also passionate in what they do. You can tell a lot of thoughts have been put into the planning of the classes and the experience. Would be happy to join their classes again!
