Come hungry!

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience! I learned so much about the Thai culture and cuisine. The instructor makes the class very fun and the methods are easy enough for any level of experience. If you're in a group I suggest making different dishes so you can all try a little bit of everything. You will be making and eating a lot of food, so come hungry!

Must do!

Niti was amazing! The food we made was so good and there was so much food, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone in the area!

Best birthday ever!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was the best cooking class I’ve ever taken! Nitti has an amazing sense of humor and kept us engaged the whole time. I liked the balance of us cooking things, and then watching her cook things for us. I would definitely do this again the next time I’m in Chiang Mai!

A real highlight of Chiang Mai

Fabulous day! The experience couldn’t have been more enjoyable. Brilliant organisation and attention to detail. Participants made five dishes and then enjoyed eating them. Pick up and drop off arrangements worked well

Supercool

Published on Jan, 2025

It was so much fun. We learned a lot about Thai and Akha food and cooked lots of different dishes. Not only the food was amazing but also the guides and the location. We would do it again at any time.
