Not to be missed!
Experience, incredible! Really, don't miss out; you will learn authentic Thai cooking in the best atmosphere in the city.
Everything starts with a trip to the market to select the products for the recipes you have chosen. Then they welcome you into their home prepared for the occasion; after a fruit tasting, you start cooking.
Everything is very well explained in very understandable English. And they are truly adorable and very welcoming.
A little tip: don't eat before coming; you will have enough to be full for the rest of the day 😅
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️ We’re delighted that you enjoyed the market visit, fruit tasting, cooking experience, and our warm home atmosphere. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so happy you enjoyed learning authentic Thai cuisine with our family.
And yes… coming hungry is definitely the best advice! 😅🍜🌶️
We hope to welcome you back to Chiang Mai and cook together again someday. 🙏❤️
More Spicy, More Sexy, More Fun! 🌶️😄

GREAT
A great time!
We went as a family and we have different cooking skill levels; we all had an extraordinary time.
From the market, to the cooking, and up to the tasting, everything was perfect.
The workshop lasted 5 hours in a good mood, with cooking tips, and the time went by very quickly.
Thanks again to this couple who are adorable and kind.
We will be back!

So spicy, so sexy… just like Thai food! 🌶️❤️”
We had a wonderful time with Un and his wife. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. Their kindness, warmth and simple hospitality made the whole experience feel like sharing a meal with friends rather than taking a cooking class.
Everything is very well organised, while remaining relaxed and accessible to everyone, even if you are not an experienced cook. Un explains everything clearly and makes cooking Thai food seem easy and enjoyable.
And of course, all the dishes we prepared were absolutely aroi — delicious! 😋
A truly lovely experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, friendly and convivial Thai cooking class.
Thank you, Un and your wife, for this wonderful moment!

Great family cooking experience
I took my family and it was absolutely a highlight of our whole trip! We felt incredibly welcomed into their family and they did a great job helping our 10yo twins cook everything while safe with knives and woks. I really couldn’t recommend more! He prepped the ingredients so we really were able to cook all 5 dishes within a few hours. And by dessert we were stuffed! Also a great way to get the kids to try some foods they wouldn’t normally try.
Operator response

We're so happy your twins enjoyed cooking with us and that they had fun learning to use the knives and woks safely. It's always rewarding to see children try new foods and discover they enjoy them! We're delighted our cooking class was one of the highlights of your trip to Chiang Mai. We hope to welcome your family back again someday. More Spicy, More Sexy, More Fun! 🌶️😊

Can 100% recommend
Booked a group course but were lucky to get a private lesson instead 🤩. The cook picked us up from our hostel on time and later brought us back again. He was the nicest person and explained everything with passion. He also speaks good English so he could gave us recommendations and tips for Chiang Mai as well. Can recommend 100%!

Had an amazing time at Tomyumthai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai 🌶️✨ “More Spicy More Sexy” perfectly describes the fun atmosphere! Such a memorable experience from start to finish. The chef and his wife were incredibly welcoming and showed such great hospitality the entire time.
The class was hands-on, entertaining, and easy to follow, and the food we made was absolutely delicious. You can really feel their passion for cooking and sharing Thai culture. Lots of laughs, great energy, and amazing flavors all around.
Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Would definitely come back again!
