Wow. We were collected from our hotel and given a very warm welcome. The tour of the food market was fascinating. We ate things I’d never have dreamed of and most were fab! The cookery school was a great balance between informative and fun. Honestly, this was an excellent experience. Do it!!
Really great experience, would highly recommend. Good way to get exposure to Thai cooking! Some great food in the market
The whole experience was great from the market visit to all of the cooking and eating. The two ladies running the class did an awesome job with a group from multiple countries with kids included. The food was delicious, the cooking was great fun and the humour and vibe was top notch throughout the event.
This was such an amazing experience! On lead the class and she was a great teacher, easy to follow, and so funny! We cooked so many dishes, and everything was so delicious. It is so difficult to pick a favorite dish of the night. I would recommend this class to anyone, and I would take it over and over again myself!
Moe is an incredible host, and the food she helped us prepare was amazing. I thoroughly recommend this experience.
So amazing! Informative and fun! A must do in Chaing Mai!
It was amazing 🤩 and I could cook in glutenfree with glutenfree Sojasauce!
Amazing experience! Delicious dishes and great chef Moi!
A thoroughly enjoyable experience all round. I had the pleasure of attending this with my partner and found it to be noticeably superior to other cooking experiences I’ve tried in Thailand. Our host and chef, Onn, was very warm, skilful, knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour around the market was fascinating and lively as we learned about new ingredients and fruits. The cooking session itself was interactive, fun and incredibly satisfying. I highly recommend this experience.
Onn was amazing, I had so much fun! She explained everything in detail and told us about a lot of things about the culture and flavours. The trip to the local market made everything more special!
