BEST Thai cooking class!

We did the full day and it was amazing!! Come hungry because you will leave in a food coma in a good way!! Our guide Kay spoke the best English and he was very funny. He’s also a classically trained chef so knew his way around a kitchen. The space is clean, well maintained and the staff very organized. And the food was incredible!! I couldn’t believe that I had actually made something that tasted that good! Can’t wait to go home and try replicating for our friends and family 🥰

Picked up from our hotel, with a guided market tour before arriving at the site. We had a large choice of dishes to cook, and as a vegetarian with shellfish allergies, I was impressed by the options available, and the care taken to prevent cross contamination. Our guide, Love, did an excellent job, and the food we prepared was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed the day! Would thoroughly recommend this experience!

It was a great day! The other people in the group were very interesting and friendly. Luna, our teacher/guide was interesting and cheerfully up-beat. After the polluted environs of Chiang Mai (it's nothing like as bad as Bangkok, but…) it was lovely to get out into fresh countryside on the farm. Being shown the plants that provide the ingredients that characterise Thai food was a really good. Touching, smelling and tasting the ingredients straight off the plants... Cooking together was a great way to connect to other people. So, thank you, #teamLuna!
