Indulge in Authentic Thai Flavors and Serene Organic Farm (Full Day Course)

I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Chiang Mai! And the full day was well worth it! The food made turned out amazing and you are definitely full at the end of the day! It was great learning more about Thai cuisine and actually learning how to make these dishes! Kiki also was our instructor and she was incredible!

This cooking class is great ! Its done in a nice big place/garden outside of Chiang Mai (pick-up and drop-off is included), in open-air pavillions. Before going to the farm, you visit a small "market", which seems to be a "tourist market for cooking classes" and not a real market used by locals. But that was no problem for us, as we have been to many other authentic markets. On the farm, you take a stroll in the garden, and see how lemon grass, chilies, aubergines, tumeric, galangal etc. is grown. That was very interesting for us. You then cook in open-air pavillions. Several tasty thai dishes, very well explained, and its great fun. You can choose between 2 options for each course, and there is also always a vegetarian variation, so everybody should get happy. What I like: you cook 1-3 dishes and then eat them, before continuing to cook (instead of cooking everything and then just eating all at once). It is for most people (us included), too much food.

We did the full day course (back at our hotel at 4pm) and we had so much fun. Our chef Bryan was so personable and he ensured that our dishes turned out- calling out next steps with impeccable timing and keeping an eye on how our food is coming along. They use fresh ingredients and much of the recipes are measured out for you so you can't fail. They also have a photographer and they share the photos at no extra charge, which is amazing since you can't take many photos when actively cooking. The intro to thai veggies and herbs prior to cooking was very informative. There were flavors and scents in Thai food that I hadn't been able to identify and my questions are now answered. I finished my coconut soup, pad thai and panaeng curry and had absolutely no room to eat the remaining 3 dishes, but they kindly wrapped everything up for us. 10/10 would recommend ????
