Chiang Mai Thai Cottage Home Cooking Class - Local Market & Herb Garden Tour

Learn to cook Thai food
at a home cooking school in Chiang Mai

This roughly 3.5-hour Thai cooking class takes place at a cooking school in a local family's organic garden in Chiang Mai. Start with hotel pickup, learn about ingredients at a local market, then cook and taste several dishes under the guidance of a local Thai instructor. You are taken back to your hotel after class.

Discover herbs and ingredients at a local market

After hotel pickup, head first to a local market. See the herbs and ingredients used in Thai cooking and learn which ones go into which dishes.

Choose your menu and cook it yourself

For a starter, choose from hot and sour shrimp soup, local chicken soup, chicken in coconut milk soup, or turmeric chicken soup. For the main course, pick an authentic dish such as pad thai, chicken fried rice, chicken with cashew nuts, or pad kra pao.

Dishes can be made as spicy as you like, and ingredients can be substituted for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal diets or allergies.

Make curry paste from scratch with a mortar

Choose red, green, panang, massaman, or khao soi curry paste and pound it yourself with a mortar and pestle. Use your paste to cook a chicken and coconut milk curry, and finish by making mango sticky rice.

Enjoy your dishes in the garden

When you finish cooking, enjoy your meal the traditional Thai way in the organic kitchen garden. You also receive a PDF recipe book online so you can cook the same dishes at home.
