Daddy's Kitchen, Thai Cooking School

We stumbled upon this cooking school by chance – and it was a real hit! The experience was a complete success and highly recommended for anyone staying in Chiang Mai. The class is entertaining, the food is excellent, and you get lots of valuable tips as well as a cookbook to recreate the dishes at home later. The atmosphere is very clean, pleasantly quiet, and in a beautiful location. A fantastic experience that we can wholeheartedly recommend!

You're picked up from the hotel on time, the cooking school is located in the city, and you quickly arrive at the local Kad Kom market. There, Poppy explained some Thai products to us. He made it fun and inviting. He's very respectful. Afterward, we had 10 minutes to wander around the market, and we were welcome to ask any questions we had. Then we went to the cooking school. There, we received a flyer from which we could choose three courses (soup, stir-fry, and curry, with three options of each). Then we started right away with the soup. You prepare it at one station and then go to the stove and cook. After two courses, you could eat. Then it was on to the curry. We ate that, and then it was time for dessert: mango sticky rice. Two people made it. Everything tasted amazing and was easy to prepare! Afterward, the recipes were sent directly via WhatsApp. Poppy even dropped me off somewhere else in the city. Very kind! Unfortunately, I forgot to tip him. :(

My friends and I really enjoyed every moment. Thai food is incredible and super delicious. Here, you can cook exact and typical Thai food. The smell of every food is fantastic. The teacher was super friendly.

The host was so sweet, helpful and funny! We made a lot of food so be sure to come in hungry. We learned a lot about the ingredients that go into most thai dishes and made all of our favorite dishes - which tasted better than some thai restaurants we’ve been to. Couldn’t even believe we have made the dishes ourselves! 10/10 Would probably go again the next time i visit Thailand.

Our cooking instructor was nothing but amazing and funny, made the experience even better. Was so nice learning how to make the Thai dishes and was taught so well. Love the choice of different dishes to pick from. Thank you so much!! Highly recommend

We laughed so much and we had the best possible experience cooking with her. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you big time!

The market tour was eye-opening, but the cooking was the true highlight. 🤩 ​Kimmy was a brilliant host, witty, engaging, and great at keeping the energy high. She made the complex steps feel easy, guiding us through the measures and timing for each dish with expert care. The results spoke for themselves. The flavors and smells were just as good as (if not better than) the some restaurants we’ve visited. ​While the mango sticky rice at the end got a mixed reception from our group, the first three dishes were a total success. This activity is incredible value for money and a must-do for any food lover. 10/10, and a huge thank you to Kimmy for being such a star! 👍🏾

The young Cha-Em organizes her Thai cooking school very well and brings a lot of casual humor with her😘 She also explains which ingredients should be sliced 👌🏻 Also picking up at the hotel worked out well 👍🏻 Thank you so much 😘

Picked up from our hotel and taken to a local market. Everything explained and ingredients gathered. Off to the cooking school. You choose your menu which can be different for everyone. Again step by step instructions to prepare & cook four courses - soup, stir fry, (and eat), curry & dessert (and eat). Everything is very prepared, laid out and seamlessly organized. Massive shout out to Chef Tu who gave instructions clearly, kept an eye on everyone and make it a really fun experience. And her assistance who was like the kitchen clearing ninja! Max group of 10. Highly recommended.
