I had a a great time. Our teachers Oliy and Kathi were incredibly patient and fun. Great plan if you are travelling alone specially if there is rain like today.

Very good cooking class. The guides Katie & Holli are very kind and fun! 😊 You learn to prepare traditional Thai dishes easily.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class with lollipop. Very knowledgeable, great humour and a fantastic teacher. A big highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai for sure. We first started at the market and then headed to the barn for cooking. Transport to and from the hotel was provided. We were able to book the day before and attended the afternoon slot. Would recommend for people coming solo and couples too. It was a fiery experience 😉

This was an amazing experience. Our guides Katie and Lollipop were fantastic, funny and skillful! Food was delicious. Very immersive and great fun. Would highly recommend!!

Excellent staff very friendly, knowledgable and professional. Easy to book even the day before the class is scheduled. Great atmosphere in the school.

Excellent cooking course where we had good food to prepare ourselves. Staff very friendly and professional

Everything about this experience was outstanding. First and foremost, our guide, Goby, was incredibly friendly, passionate, funny, and always made sure we were following along and that everyone was okay. The pickup service was great, with a stop at a local market where we were given a brief explanation of a variety of ingredients commonly used in Thai cooking. From there, we were taken to the barn house, which is set in a beautiful location next to rice fields and a pond. It started raining shortly after we arrived, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a cozier afternoon. Being surrounded by the rice fields, listening to the rain, and cooking traditional Thai food together under the barn made the experience feel really special. The rest of the staff were wonderful as well. During each explanation, they prepared and organized the ingredients for the next dish so that everything was ready for us to cook once the demonstration was finished. The meals were incredibly well explained and easy to follow, especially with Goby explaining which ingredients could be substituted to achieve the same or a similar flavour if we couldn’t find the original ingredients in our home countries. Everyone had their own little cooking station, as well as a beautiful wooden chair where we could sit and enjoy each dish we had just prepared. After spending several hours cooking and eating, we enjoyed our final meal together at a large table, accompanied by complimentary rice. Once we finished, we were given the opportunity to download a large collection of recipes using a QR code, which was a great way to take the experience home with us. Before leaving, we also bought the aprons, which we had asked if they were for sale, as they made for a beautiful and memorable souvenir. We were then taken back to our respective hotels. Overall, it was an amazing experience, with incredible staff, delicious food, and beautiful photographs taken by the photographer, Zebra, which we will definitely be putting in frames. There were approximately 10 people in our group, which meant that the experience always felt very personal and never overcrowded. We genuinely felt well looked after throughout the entire afternoon. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an authentic, relaxed, and personal Thai cooking experience.

I thought the cooking experience was out of this world! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Katie and Belle were the best teachers. They were absolutely delightful, patient and incredibly supportive throughout the whole experience. I’ve come away with so much new knowledge that I can take home to the UK and share with my family and friends — along with some wonderful cooking tips and, hopefully, some delicious meals! Making new friends along the way was also such a lovely part of the experience. It was fun, welcoming and something I’ll always remember from my time in Thailand. Thank you so much, Katie and Belle, for such a wonderful experience. ❤️🇹🇭
