It was a great experience. We each made 3 dishes. The instructor made the process fun and easy. Didn't know how easy it was to make Thai dishes

This was an excellent way to spend half a day in Chiang Mai. Our host was amazing , educating us at the market and the onsite garden before starting on the meals. You can choose 3 dishes to make plus the dessert. If you are a couple you can make and try 6 dishes between you which we did. The instructions were clear, the process was fun and the results were delicious. A bonus was the booklet of all the recipes at the end.

I went in without any expectations and came out amazed. It was a lot of fun, I can highly recommend this class to almost anyone, you don't need to be a cooking enthusiast or knowledgeable in (Thai) cooking. The class is very engaging from beginning to end: The ride with the iconic Songthaew, visiting the local market and trying rice waffles, walking around the farms garden, feeding the turtles, cooking the three different meals + Thai tea + mango rice, and of course eating the meals. The location is very beautiful with a lot of decorations (including Lanna lanterns of course :D), especially in the evening. But I think the best thing were the people there, they were all very fun and friendly. The instructor was awesome, she did a great job at explaining and was full of interesting site facts. I wouldn't have thought that a cooking class can be this much fun, but now I would even say that it is a must do for any Chiang Mai visit!

I had an amazing time at mama noi cooking class ! The staff was so nice and fun, it created a great mood between everybody. We got to cook 3 thai traditional meals, on top of thai tea and mango sticky rice. It was super fun, and then we all ate together and everything tasted delicious. I 100% recommend this experience if you’re looking to meet some people and lean a bit about thai food! It was a highlight of my trip to Chiang Mai.

This is a great experience for anyone interested in learning more about traditional Thai ingredients, Thai food basics and the main dishes of this culture. At mama noi they are very organized, they know exactly how to lead the activity and it’s enjoyable and really cool!

The experience was peerless. I wish I could remember the name of the woman who was hosting us but she was impeccable too. And you know what the craziest thing about it was? All of us thought it was one of the best meal we ate in Thailand this trip, which included Gaggan and some Michelin stars. I cannot recommend them enough.
