Holiday itinerary
Go learn to cook delicious Thai food over 2 days at this professional cooking school in Chiang Mai using fresh, local produce.
Cooking classes take place in the home of your Chef which is just outside of the city centre in a peaceful location. To make things easier for you, a complimentary return transfer is included from your hotel to the cooking school.
Under the expert tuition of your Chef or one of his trained instructors, you’ll learn how to cook six different dishes each day. You’ll learn all about the ingredients you are about to use, how to select fresh seasonal produce and which substitutes to use if you can’t find the same ingredients back home.
These are full day hands-on Thai cooking courses and you’ll take a break each day at lunch time to eat the Thai food you’ve cooked with your fellow would-be chefs.
