5.00Our host was knowledgeable on food, flavours,recipes, ingredients and techniques. She really set out to teach us something about traditional Thai cooking. The environment was pristine and quite beautiful. Just go with an empty stomach as you will be cooking ALOT of food.
Amazing cooking class and instructor!

5.00Amazing cooking class! At first you meet the instructor (Suwannee) at the white clock tower then you go to the market to walk around to purchase food for the class. She tells you about may ingredients esp ones local to the area and even purchases snacks along the way so you can taste. Me and my classmate, Nadia, made pad thai, papaya salad, khao soi, and banana in coconut milk. You have multiple options to pick from on the menu. Dishes can be customized as well for allergies. Suwannee is very friendly, an excellent teacher, and has a great sense of humor. She even takes pics and videos of you during the class then makes a mini movie of the experience to send to you afterwards! Recipes are also emailed to you after the class. Nothing is rushed and each dish is so enjoyable (to look at and even more when eating)! Definitely a must do if you are in Chiang Rai!!
A 5-star experience!

5.00A great cooking class! In the market, all the foreign things finally got a name. The cooking itself was super explained, so you could follow even with less good English skills. In the group we quickly agreed on the dishes. The food itself was the best we have eaten in Thailand so far. And everything also met the highest aesthetic standards.
Best Cooking class ever - A feast for your eyes as well as your stomach Exceptional

5.00This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. We met at the market, which was an experience in itself—walking through with Sue, seeing the different products, and tasting some along the way was so much fun. She selected fresh ingredients for our class and shared great insights about what we were seeing. The cooking class was fantastic—interactive, very well organized, and truly enjoyable. Everyone had the chance to participate in making all the dishes, which made it feel hands-on and engaging. Sue is an exceptional teacher: friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. We learned so much from her. We sat down together and enjoyed all the dishes we prepared at a beautifully set dining table. Everything was delicious, and the whole experience felt special and well thought out. Highly recommend this class—don’t miss it!
Fantastic morning with Suwannee

5.00We started at the market and tried some delicious street food. We learned about local produce before heading to her beautiful place. Since it was just two couples, she allowed us to pick from across her 4 menus. We made soup, salad, khao soi, and dessert. She also adapted the dishes to accommodate my wife's shrimp allergy. Suwannee was very patient and explained the steps in great detail. I would highly recommend this experience.
A must do when visiting Chiang Rai

5.00Probably the best thing we did during our visit to Thailand. Suwannee was a brilliant hostess and her kitchen set-up is just perfection. We were met at the clock tower then did a tour of the market, buying food for our lunch and trying a few local snacks. We learnt so much from Suwanee during this tour. Back at the kitchen we made 3 dishes each, chosen as a group (6 in our case) from a choice of about a dozen - all delicious. We also had an interesting starter and a dessert which we made together. Suwannee took loads of photos and made a lovely video which she shared with us all.
Fun, educational and delicious!
