5.00Amazing view with very tasty food! We got to choose between a few different options and meats or vegetarian for each of various courses. We got a market tour at the start and got to see where the food is bought from and an explanation of various things. The cooking equipment was all very good and tasty food.
Great experience.

5.00This was probably the best thing we've done here. Did the afternoon session. Organisation good, picked up on time, first short stop about 15 mins at small local market where welearned about rice and local vegetables. Another 15 mins to school, set high above 'grand canyon', lovely open surroundings with lush planting. The school itself was very well run, the staff were exceptionally organised and everything was laid out at individual cooking stations. 12 max so intimate attention. Our group was run by Aim, very good english, very funny, wicked sense of humour, and very dramatic, but play the game and join in, she is fun. Full and clear instructions. She really made it easy for us to follow. I am a keen cook, my husband hardly knows what a knife is for, but we enjoyed it equally. Then we had the enjoyment of eating what we had created. Warning, do NOT eat breakfast, we were all stuffed. Relaxed afterwards in lovely surroundings. Got pics sent to us by Aim , also an e-book with the recipes. Great value. Definitely recommend.
Amazing time!

5.00Amazing time at I like thai cooking school. Enjoyed every bit of it. We first got picked up at the accommodation which is a great convenience! Later we drove to the market to see the true thai local food supply. After having visited the market and picked our ingredients we drove to the cooking school, beautiful location and really enjoyable with the sunset. Lovely welcome drink and the cooking began. Great explanation of all ingredients and cooking techniques. Richy was a super instructor and very easy and casual to talk to. He also helped us with our Muay thai booking, and informed us about a lovely ethical elephant sanctuary we could visit. Overall a really nice experience and would 10/10 reccomend!
Lovely food and even lovelier hosts!

5.00We did the morning Thai cooking school with the market visit, with Aim and Richie. We were picked up promptly at 8am by a lovely driver in a nice air conditioned car and dropped to the market where we met the rest of the group and went round the market. We cooked five dishes with clear instructions and Aim and Richie were very lovely and friendly. They were cracking jokes the whole time and made the whole experience really great- we were smiling ear to ear the whole time! Thanks so much for a lovely end to our trip in Chiang Mai :)

5.00I just finished a Thai cooking class with Aim and it was absolutely brilliant. Aim was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so funny and warm, which made the whole experience really enjoyable and relaxed. She explained every step clearly and taught us how to balance the authentic Thai flavors—sweet, sour, salty, and spicy—in a way that was easy to understand. Cooking the dishes ourselves was the highlight, and everything turned out delicious. I left feeling inspired and confident that I can recreate the recipes at home. The atmosphere Aim created was fun, friendly, and welcoming, and it made the class feel special from start to finish. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves Thai food or wants to learn from an amazing teacher.
